Members Mattsbagger Posted October 17, 2017 Members Report Posted October 17, 2017 Looks good. Nice color and stitching. Quote
Members DRE66 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Members Report Posted October 17, 2017 Thanks. With every sheath I learn something new, good and bad Quote
Members Dave Richardson Posted October 17, 2017 Members Report Posted October 17, 2017 Thats a great look. Nice stitching. Quote
Members malabar Posted October 18, 2017 Members Report Posted October 18, 2017 That is a VERY nice piece of work. Two thoughts: The rivets are unnecessary, and might even shorten the life of the sheath. Also, if you reverse the side that the safety strap sits on, it can be popped off with your thumb without having to shift your grip on the handle. Quote

I am also of the mind that rivets are unnecessary in a well stitched sheath but added them to more closely mirror the original SOG sheaths from the Vietnam era. The original sheath also has the strap coming in from the left side. There are advantages and disadvantages that's true but at least I won't accidentally cut it off this way Edited October 24, 2017 by DRE66 Quote
