Rick, not a problem. You answered my question and I appreciate it. U 'l do exactly as you suggested. There's no pitting anywhere, just some staining and discoloration. I like the original sheath but it's showing its years. The style of the new ones looks the same but I don't know about the maker.
Thanks for the good input.
Sheath is as important as the knife. I would get L parson to copy the style and not have to worry it going thru and stricken me in the buttocks. Larry starts with the very best and splits down so you get a firm!!! tight grain. More than likely last the tools life.
