Custom knife sheath for my custom bowie, AKA "The Monster Cleaver"

[lachopperboy]

Hi everyone!

i ve been working wth leather and been a member of this forum for a while now but i never really shared any of my projects until now.

i have recently designed a mini fat bowie for myself named "The Monster Cleaver" and got it done through ABS J.S.  Doug Campbell.

After getting the knife done i have decided to make a unique and one of a kind sheath and way to carry it, so i ve started my designing process and came with what i thought was a unique design. Anyways i wanted to share the finish product with you and get your opinions and any questions you might have about the sheath or the knife.

Thanks for checking out my work and topic, i hope you like what your see, thanks again and enjoy.

I love the look of it, but what about retention? Is is held just by friction?

[lachopperboy]

Hi Martyn

yes it is.

Sheath looks great but the blade is beautiful.  I can't get comfortable with crossdraw carry, seems like my spare tire always gets in the way.

Hi stu925!

Thanks for the compliments, for me it is the opposite, i am much comfortable with cross draw carry.

Both very impressive! Nice work.

Very nice, the sheath looks good with that brilliant knife!

Very nice.

What tool did you use for the stamping on the back?

It's a BK geometric 'honeycomb serpentine'.

I actually prefer the front, which I think is a BK quatrefoil hollow with a seeder in the middle.

Love the mottled coloration around the border. Very burl looking. Cool knife design!

Like it , always liked crossdraw ,I know if the crap ever hit the fan . The knife on one side and pistol on the other. Even a between the shoulder scabard for a sbr. YUPP got to be prepared. Nice job.
