For a kydex sheath I would contact Tim Wegner at Blade tech. Back before he was rich and famous he made a bunch of sheaths for me working with a toaster oven in his garage. Those sheaths are still as good as the day he made them, everything I've purchased since has been of the same high quality. You will have to send your blade to him, but I'm betting you'll be happy with the results.

Walter Brend makes a great knife and it was my honor to meet him in Atlanta at Blade show last June. This knife was heavily influenced by The Reaper and if it relates to Brend, I did it my way based on other big blades I've done.

I like in-progress knife pics almost more than the done ones.

Mr. Harsey sent me these of The Reaper's knife in-progress.

(the gradient-box in the first pic is to X-out the OpPerSec data)

Ms. FrontSight,
Thank you for posting the working pics of The Reapers knife. I know I'll live to regret saying this in public, but thanks for the digital blocking of some writing. I owe you one.

The first image in FrontSights post is the blade just out of heat treat and the master bevels have just been final ground, freehand, on the belt grinder. Now it's time to figure out how to make the guard.

Here is how it started, the lexan master pattern has been made from the drawings and is clamped onto the CPM S-30V steel that will become the blade. I use a carbide scribe to "draw' around the outside of the lexan to make the pattern transfer onto the steel. Then I use the steel cutting saw to remove major chunks and then grind to the outside of the scribed line on the belt grinder.

Bill-
Are these knives going to be limited as to who can actually purchase one from you due to your busy schedule?

Limited only by my ability to get stuff out the door.

The more I look at this thing, the more subtle touches I see.

Just this weekend, I noticed that he had tapered the tang.

Outstanding workmanship, Bill.

You need a Shipping Associate...

How about some TR quality photos and document this evidence in detail. :D

Since you were a consultant on this design TR, why not go over the things that you asked for and why you feel they are important concerning usefulness and utility of this masterpiece. I would really like to hear the WHY behind some of design features. I am not good at spotting them from a photo.

If and when you have time to do it of course. :munchin

Outstanding!
 
I could do some damage with that! :lifter
