I have a SSgt Reservist who is dropping off orders in Sep (fucking stupid they won't allow him to extend!). He's an 03 who became a frigging amazing 01 (Grunt to Admin). I want to get this engraved and present it to him for his abilities to cut through bullshit and get things done.
It's strictly a joke kind of thing but I want to do it right. The sword comes with a really cheap ass POS black nylon sheath and I want to replace it with a KABAR-style brown leather sheath; can you guys recommend a maker? Thanks for any tips. |

custom sheath makers take way more than a month and are expensive. a leather sheath for my sword was quoted at $ 250+ so I never bothered I didn't notice the dates. Since it is being engraved, how about shadow boxing it for display? For a presentation/joke piece, it might be cheaper and then it could actually be displayed. |

I don't know why I didn't think of a shadow box, that's a much better idea than a sheath, even if it was $20! The Hive comes through again, thanks!!! |
