It came!! The Package from RAINWALKER!!!!!!!!

I had to call him "The" Rainwalker after what I saw today.

The post came while I was at work and my wife picked it up at the P.O. later after taking me home. She didn't tell me it came.

I saw it after dinner when she remembered it in the car. Women.?! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Priorities!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />


So I opened it with great anticipation as anyone would. Waiting to see what Jeff's wicked mind can do when left to itself. He had NO INPUT from me at all.

Yet he has managed to make me weep with joy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

This is the finest sheath I could ever imagine. If I had thought of it my imagination would not have even thought of the detail and workmanship involved in this creation.

Jeff Law. The Rainwalker. He did some of his most solemn and serious soul searching and praying while walking in the rain one day. And ever since has derived pleasure from a simple walk in Gods rain.

His thoughts were clear and solid when he made this sheath my Brothers.

Jeff from the bottom of my heart thank you for this heirloom sheath made for me.
Bramel, to you my dear friend who behind the scenes sponsored his genius to aspire this lofty sheath...I also give my heartfelt thanks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

And again to every Dog who helped make the Knol Family Christmas brighter by pitching in for the Dog Father limited Edition and paying for the U-Haul that moved us into our new home... we as a family will never forget. The love and generosity of The Yard is something other forum will never know. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

The reason is you. Each and every one of you who bring a bit of your true self here and leave it. You all drop off a bit of your true selves and brighten The Yard every day. When other forums fail and flounder,this Family of Dogs is tighter and more cohesive than ANY forum on the planet.

God bless each and every one of you who are here. You all belong her. Never leave. Keep sharing, and grow old together here in The Yard with your brothers.


With out further pontification...let me type those words you have all been waiting for.



:c

Now that is a Happy Man!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Sorry for the speech and for all the photos,Tom you will probably never see this due to your dial up connection, sorry...I'll P.M. you a shot or two if you don't post her in a day or two. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Hope you all enjoyed Jeff's labor of love as much as we did! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Peace,
Dave.

nice stuff <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Wow PoP that leather sheath is insane. That right there is pure art. Wow. My appreciatation for that sheath is definitely high. Hats off Jeff and Dave, you are a lucky guy. Congrats. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

ummm.......

i do believe that's the greatest sheath i've ever seen. ever.

This photo brings back memories of the Boy Scout motto "be prepared"...I think you have all the bases covered. well....perhaps you could still use an ankle holster, but we'll leave that for now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Excellent work Jeff, a true masterpiece. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />


Congrats! on the new sheath PoPs......you will be sure and take some outdoor action shots, when you get a chance.

Careful, not to cut something off when you extract one of those many knives you are wearing......and, NO! you can't wear it to bed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Brad

That is a fine piece of craftsmanship, coupled with a fine blade.

Looks like my next call to Jeff may be for some leather. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

wow and woof!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

plus one

Wow that is amazing. The sheath is unreal.

I have to agree, the finest sheath I have ever seen! Jeff must have spent a long time on that one brother. Congrats Dave, may it please and serve you and your generations. Hip Hip Hurray to P.O.P.s, Rainwalker and Bramel!

p.s. Nice pictures and narration Dave!

A HUGE +1 to what W/D said!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> That is beautiful, and worth the wait to download the pictures - great work Jeff!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

+1. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> There is nothing more I can add! It is truely a work of art. Fantastic work Rainwalker!

PoP, CONGRATULATIONS on your fine sheath and knife!!!!! You defiantely look like a man about to tame the wild in those last pics!!!!!


I too received my masterpiece from Jeff yesterday, a dundee rig. I took the photos, but will have to wait and post them when I get to my parents computer. I have a primitive laptop!

Jeff is a leather genius!!! He makes things that you are afraid to destroy because they are too nice, but in the end they were made to be used!

Good work Jeff!!! Bramel, you are a true friend!!!

I already have my next order in with Jeff!

Congrats again PoP!!!!! You deserve it you Dawg!!!!!

Dave, It was a real pleasure making that sheath for you, and for that special Dog Father LE that we all wanted to have and enjoy.

Since joining this forum right at a year ago you guys have really become an extended family to me, and family tries to take care of it's own right! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Alright maybe I got a little extra creative with it, that was the fun part, besides, I didn't want to put that awesome DFLE in just any ole pants!<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It really was a team/family effort too, with Bramel playing a part in it's financing, which inspired me to do more, and be more creative, and I really have to say that in a way Ksjumpmd also played a part too, because without his help and generosity I might not have had the DFLE myself to make the sheath to.

You really do look prepared in those pics! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Enjoy that sheath my friend, and carry that Dog Father LE proudly!

Enjoy indeed,

As I told you in my P.M. it turns out that the sheath of course fit my DFCG,
but also fits 3 other blades I own inside of it as well!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It snaps onto my belt loop with ease on the bottom and stays snug in place.


If I wanted I could even wear it without snapping it and use it bandelaro style.

I am going to get my first ticket here in Wisconsin by wearing a blade longer than three inches in public.
They are VERY liberal in my small town of 6,700
but the way I'm going to strut around will have the Police no option. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

They will have to listen to the public outcry and...
"Do something about that maniac running around with a MACHETE strapped to his chest!" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Laugh out loud!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I will relish that day,and only then wise up and wear it with more discretion. Till then the world will see!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

This sheath is even more beautiful in the light of day! This morning is my first time not seeing it under lights to look at it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Insane detail Jeff. INSANE DETAIL! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

I tried to capture that in the photos,but alas they are only pictures..... I hold the real thing!

Thank you again my dear friends,this is a heirloom for generations to keep and understand the craftsmanship of Jeff and the Master Blade-smith of Dan Busse.


May The Yard out live us all!! And for generations of our children it be kept alive and just the way it is. The ultimate,intimate family forum for Scrap Yard Knives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />



Peace.

Hey PoP,

Love the new Avatar....Just don't go out in public looking like that, or we'll all be pooling together for bail money. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I was thinking the same thing BRAMEL !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

OH MY!
that is the nicest, most awesome sheath I've ever seen in my entire life.

awesome work rainwalker!
BRAMEL and ksjumpmd, you guys are true dogs.
and so are you P.O.P, with all your encouraging words of wisdom throught the yard.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Very nice sheath, good job Jeff. Hey don't run around the house with all that on we wouldn't want you to poke yourself. lol Thanks, enjoyed the pics.

That sheath is BA! great job Jeff, congrats POP!

he does good work... he made me 2 sheaths for my swamp rat wardens.

RE:The avatar.

Bad idea to wear all in public I know, but today I wear the red kydex Brick
and the DFLE snapped onto my belt loop and eagerly handle up around shirt logo high.
Today we have a ton of work to do, but Lord knows I will look wonderful doing it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

And God... if you could give me a cutting challenge today at work
I'd be very grateful to you! See I also need to feel I did it for a good cause.
Not just vanity. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Like the song says..."Lord it's hard to be humble when the sheaths perfect in every way!" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
And it sure stands up to a scrutinizing eye in the daylight. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

This is without flaw. Period. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Jeff, if only we could really express how much you mean to The Yard.

You are more than a friend and sheath maker. More than a poster and Brother.
You create and design our very hearts in leather and with the love you put into each Yard sheath you deliver it becomes clear.... you da man. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />


Peace.

wow. that sheath is intense.

Wow, amazing job Jeff. Congrats on your beautiful sheath PoP. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Woohoo! Great stuff POP - you look fierce wearing all of it at once!

Great work Jeff!

POP - you have the nicest collection of RW pants anywhere in the Yard!

mix that sheath with the DFLE and you got yourself one hell of an heirloom!!!

i look at that and wonder,"how the hells he do that?"

i would love to watch something like that be made.

nice pic of you with all the sheaths on.RW should put that on his web-site...lol

by the way,is that the true story of why he calls himself "rainwalker"???
pretty cool.

congrats PoP!!!!!

I remember when we had a thread like, where do you get your names (like forum names) and rainwalker shared the story... It was pretty cool.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

That sheath is truly incredible, a work of art. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> Guess I know who I'll be hittin' up when my SYKCOs need fancy pants! PoP you are a lucky man!

I am going to start to sound like a broken record, but Jeff you nailed another one out of the park! Way to go man! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

That is an incredible sheath!

Amen to that! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I do need to find some time to do some work on my site, I've got a lot of new pics I need to put there. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Yes the story is true. That was quite a significant time for me, always wanted to tell the story too, I was really glad I finally got the chance.

Wow, that DF sheath is truly awesome. Congrats, POP!

That's a beautiful piece of work. I've got one of Jeff's pieces coming for my BATAC too.... can't wait.

I like that red kydex - very cool.
