That is outstanding. Are you the maker of the outfit or is it made for you? It looks like quite a monitary investment but well worth the price.

I'm not talented enough to sew, I had them commissioned for me!

No kidding. I've been wanting a Tinker dirk for a loooong time. I'd also like a Kirby spool-handled dirk.

(sigh)

I wanted a baskethilt that would fit my hand. So I sent Erik a measurement. Gus' blades are awesome, I've owned three,
And Irish Bastard, English Bastard and this one. Unfortunately I
sold the other two Bastards to get this baskethilt

Anyway, here is the result of a baskethilt custom made, fits like a glove.
And believe me I saved my nickles and dimes-literally for several years.
I'm not a rich man!
