Looks good my friend,
maybe take a little sand paper to the edges & use the blue painters tape on the blades when forming.
Also be really careful to not get it too hot, that is what made the shiney area on the waki sheath.
for the eyelet flare you can go to the leather factory on line or in ATL & get a single eyelet flare for under 10.00, I used one for years.
Or you could just send me some dough & I will save you a bunch of time, frustration & pain <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
