Hi,I was wondering if you have a liner in the sheath, I have made some metal sheathes and find a thin leather liner makes the whole thing quieter and there seems to be less chance of the blade jumping from the sheath at inappropriate times.

Very nice job by the way.

Scott, yes I line all my sheaths all the way to the bottom, try to fit them to the knife before they are solder together, use a man made mateial, prefer it to leather. Deane
