<p>The way I look at it is, a paracord winder, for a buck, and 40 feet of free rope.</p>
<p>If your local store doesn't carry it, you can always buy online.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">.... IF ...</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">they've an interest in such.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I'll start the discussion with an item I came across late last week.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I recently acquired an S&M Premier #043081 Humpback Lockback Whittler.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It immediately went into my EDC rotation. In fact .. it's been in my pocket every day since it arrived on Thur 01 Sept of this year. It's a nice knife & pocket carry comes with some company. While not much for me .. most will have the occasional change ..coinage.. perhaps, a key or two .. other objects that WILL negatively impact the fine fit-n-finish of a new knife. As such .. I went shopping for a knife slip ..or.. purse.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I currently have 2 units I actively use.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">An A.G. Russel small leather knife pouch ..<a href="https://agrussell.com/knife/3510" target="_blank">Item #: POU-33412L</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">....AND....</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A Max Capdebarthes leather sheath <a href="http://www.couteaux-services.com/max-capdebarthes-leather-sheath-8813.htm" target="_blank">model 8813</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Both are very fine knife slips.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In the search for a knife slip to house the Schatt & Morgan Whittler .. I came across this deal.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.harryepstein.com/index.php/leather-knife-sheath-for-opinel-7-an-8.html" target="_blank">Harry J. Epstein Co.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It's listed as "Leather Knife Sheath for Opinel #7 & #8 ... SKU = Knife-Sheath.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It's USA made .. right here in MO. It's real natural leather. no laminated partially man made product passing itself off as a leather product.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span><span><span><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"><span><span><span>The unit is 5" in length ..and.. 1 & 7/8" in width (1 & 19/32" between the stitching). The leather is a measured 0.068" thick. It is symmetric in design.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span><span><span><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"><span><span><span>They are $2.oo a piece. Yup, 2 bucks a pop.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span><span><span><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"><span><span><span>I ordered 4 of them.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span><span><span><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"><span><span><span>.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span><span><span><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"><span><span><span>They are all the same .. the blanks are probably die stamped. The edges are uniform. The stitching is even & uniform. The only downside .. if there is one .. is the color. It’s a LIGHT undyed tan.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span><span><span><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g"><span><span><span><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655298253?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655298253?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" class="align-center" width="750"/></a></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>I'll likely dye mine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I will apply a few liberal coatings of <a href="http://www.conservationresources.com/Main/section_39/section39_08.htm" target="_blank">Renaissance Wax</a> to one.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Perhaps .. shoe polish to another.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Will soak one in olive oil.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Not sure about the last one .. may leave "as is".</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Regardless</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">a quality all natural leather knife slip</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">for $2.oo + shipping</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">is " <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;" class="font-size-4"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>A Deal</strong></span></span> "</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.</p>
