case/sheath: Custom embroidered Hill Knives logo zippered pouch
* This is the thinest knife Toby has ever made, won him a bet against another knife maker! Please open by pinching (use thumb and index finger to life the blade) as using the nail nick and applying too much lateral pressure may move the blade laterally and cause a scratch.
