Help needed to locate Carl Schleiper fixed blades

[Wok]

Hi,

Absolute noob with knives.....

I have been using a C. Schleiper fixed blade [120mm blade] for about 40 years on my camping trips.......unfortunately the leather scabard has finally died It is used for cooking duties & I take it when I trek [just in case]

Web search reveals it is part of Eye Brand, plenty of folders but no fixed blades & I can't locate the makers web-page.

Q1] Could someone please provide a link?
Q2] If fixed blades are obsolete please suggest an alternative. I wouldn't mind one with a larger blade, perhaps a folder [safer to carry when treking]

TIA.....eng hoe

Hi there fellow Brisbanite

If you have been using your trusted knife this long I would definately get a nice new sheath made instead...
cost would be cheaper aswell
custom made sheaths are available from lots of places

A good custom sheath maker is Byrons custom leather in Stafford (from memory)

also the Australian supplier for Eyebrand knives is Keith Spencer

his site is www.knivesaustralia.com.au
here is his stock [SIZE=-1]TAYLORS EYE WITNESS[/SIZE]
you probably won't find Carl Schlieper stuff though


another site to visit is the Australian knife forum here

http://laventrix.net

you could become a member and ask a knife maker to make you a knife or sheath

shop around and you'll get a really good price

cheers Jason (gollum here and on laventrix)
