Members sheathmaker Posted January 14, 2008 Members Report Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) These are the other half of the six sheath order I posted the other day. Left to right in the picture the leather is Wickett and Craig in color chestnut, chestnut, and russet. No dyes were used. The inlays are Massaugua Rattlesnake (Prairie Rattler), Anteater, and Black Alligator. Paul Edited January 14, 2008 by sheathmaker Quote

Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted January 14, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted January 14, 2008 As beautiful as the first ones, I really like the first one a lot. Is that Rattler? Ken Quote
steveb Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 nice - great deep layered look, looks very technical, i love that kind of precision... very rich looking excellent job! i hope you charge a pretty penny for them, they really add a lot to the knife carrying experience and the blade quesiton - do you use cams and internal locks - or do you use the tension of the sheath to hold the blade in? steveb Quote
Members sheathmaker Posted January 14, 2008 Author Members Report Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) Steve, sometimes I design the welt to act as sort of a cam, but generally the design fit is so specific that just internal tension holds the knife very securely. I don't make any "generic" sheaths, Each one I make is truly a custom for a specific knife and is fitted to that knife. Regarding the price or cost...I'll just say they are a long way from the bargain basement. Ken,this particular one is Massaugua Rattlesnake sometimes call the Prairie Rattler. It is definitely a rattlesnake, but as you can see the patter is not the familiar diamond shape. I think the Massaugua has better color and depth of color than a lot of the diamond backs.
