| 4th update. Last update from Nepal. Looks like I may have to open up the leather bench and make her a proper suit. We'll see if she's worth it when she gets here.

To be honest, I don't know because I took them both apart already. I'm making a leather backer and dangler for the kydex similar to what I did for the BK9 (here). I wasn't really impressed with the leather one, so I pulled the welt to pattern a new leather sheath.

| Couldn't bring myself to take her in the woods with the clothes she came with, so.... A little cutting... A little glue... A little stitching and some color... Now she's ready...

The Quiet Man
| Yup. I said, “get me the biggest piece of steel you have in the shop and hammer it into a blade.”
You know. For zombies. |

The Quiet Man
| Going with a sharpened back edge, acid wash finish, and brass fittings. If it's as nice as my Historical British Service it's going to be a monster. |
