I got my new Blade knife today (thanks Jason) and am really happy with it.
I have never seen any LE's in person not aS6le or even a Busse one so I was quite surprised at how good it looks. It really is a gorgeous piece of Sr77.
I like the wider blade much better as far as looks than the SS4 one and am looking forward even more to the CG version.
Who is making sheaths for the Keeper LE that already has one so I would not need to send it away?
The edge is really good on mine especially for how thick the steel is. Overall I am very impressed with the finish and realize why the DFLE's are taking so long.
It reminds me of a Fallkniven with the nice satin finish and black rubber handle.

Rainwalker made me some nice leather Yard Keeper sheaths.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Rainwalker made me some nice leather Yard Keeper sheaths. He also made me a very nice Kydex sheath.....he also has his own personal Yard Keeper, so you won't need to send your knife.
When you care enough to use only the best...stick'em with a SKYCO knife.

Almost forgot.....Congrats! Canada customs must have liked the knife also....sure took a long time getting there.....I've almost worn mine out now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> Mine was also very sharp, it cut through paracord like you wouldn't believe......can't get the sissors, to cut that cleanly. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

That Keeper is a nice little knife, makes a great EDC. Everytime I get mine out to make some pants for someone I wind up spending some time just playing with it and looking at the cool logo on the side... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> It looks good in both kydex and leather too... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I keep mine in kydex pants right now but I like those pants I made for HD so much I think I'm gunna have to make a set of leather pants for it too... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I don't have a sheath for it yet. I will either get one from Eric (waiting to hear back) or Rainwalker. Rainwalker has done some impresive work on some of the guys blades so I am a bit spoiled for choice.

Ha Ha, Bramel you would ask! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Here's a couple that I've made. The one outlined on the left if like the one I use and the one outlined on the right is your Keeper sheath... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ![[Linked Image from i150.photobucket.com]](http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s100/rainwalker15/KeeperFriends.jpg) Hope that answers your question... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
