    Oh, I'm a believer...just not an owner. Someone, who shall not be named, took a bunch of my fun money recently. Heck of a good deal for me, but it took a bite out of my crime if you know what I mean.

    Trying to convince the wife I reeeeeaaallyy need a cleaver for our anniversary.

    Hell yes. And garden duty.

    I get to use it occasionally. Dangest woman I've ever seen for taking my good stuff and claiming it.
    Happened with a P32...a Sig....an AR....a j frame....izula....a 6.....

    In the midst of heated battle over the blasted Umlindi. Think I'll get her a tarahuma though...I carry most of the weight any how.

    Well....come to think of it.....I have a small shovel I carry on the tractor.

    Thinking I had lost it from it's jury rigged mount, I looked at buying another when at home Depot the other day.

    Why? She says. Turns out it's in the rabbit she'd where she has been using it. If I need it, go get it. But put it back in the shed because she likes it.:confused:

    You know why she only buys cheap crap? Because she knows where to find my good stuff when her dollar general crap fails.

    Perhaps if my decision to purchase were to be influenced by the pre-order arrival of stickers....not bribery, more a sort of...well..lobbying.

    Wow, that's pretty stinking impressive right there. I need to put that on Facebook. You do that kind of work for hire?

    How did you get the expat seal stamped into the leather?

    Why is there no period after W?

    Looks like he pressed the coin into the wet leather before forming. It turned out really good!

    Thank you very much for the compliment and certainly feel free to repost it as much as you like. I do custom leather work on the side for extra cash. I made this one fast to kill some time but It turned out well enough I'm gonna make a nicer one, i'm really wanting to make one that clips into a shoulder holster set up.

    To stamp the coin, I wetted the leather placed the coin on it, put the butt of my hammer handle on top of it and put all my weight down on the hammer. In hindsight, an arbor press would be a wonderful investment.

    Absolutely love this knife, Ive been carrying it on my belt and using it almost daily.

    As far as the missing period, my wife thought it would look better without it, so I blame her lol

    @Expat if you use the sand dunes as reference, it's easier to tell that it's backwards.
