DHauser Report post Posted December 13, 2012 Just finished the project in the pic. It's now on it's way to Afghanistan to house a Smith and Wesson SWHRT7T. Apparently the guys over there love the knife but the sheath leaves much to be desired.

Jaymack Report post Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Great Sheath! Nothing like having a $100 sheath for a $10 knife. They sell these at the PX, and the standard comment is, "great knife...worthless sheath". Whoever gets this is going to be the envy of everyone in Afghanistan! Where do you buy your holster clips? Do they come in that color, or are you staining them yourself. When I trapped as a boy, we stained our traps (and hands) with black walnut husks.

DHauser Report post Posted December 17, 2012 The holster clips are standard chrome. I give them a good steel wooling and blue them myself. I kinda like the blues/marbled effect. I figure that in Afghanistan they definately dont need anything shiny flashing on their leg! Interesting idea on the black walnut husks. May have to work with that a bit. What technique did you use?

Jaymack Report post Posted December 17, 2012 If I remember correctly, You shuck and boil a dozen black walnt husks in couple gallons of water, let cool and soak traps . The husk will stain your hands for over a week, so remember to wear gloves. I googled and got this answer http://www.ehow.com/facts_7465971_boiling-traps-walnuts.htmlhanks Thanks for sharing about steel wooling the chome. I also thought it to be odd, that most holter clips, intended for concealed carry, are shiny! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
