Firewalker Report post Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) This is a sheath I enjoy making and it has proven to be efficient design that stays out of the way of a side arm or a backpack. Comments are welcome. Hoping each of you are doing well. Scott Edited January 2, 2018 by Firewalker embedded images instead of links Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rossr Report post Posted January 2, 2018 Nice looking sheath. Curious as to the back side and also if this was hand or machine done. Great work Ross Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
battlemunky Report post Posted January 2, 2018 That is a really nice sheath. I like the dark starburst dye job a lot and your mini-altoids tinder kit pouch is perfect. Looks great. Is it able to be carried any way other than scout? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YinTx Report post Posted January 2, 2018 Yes, the wet molded box pocket came out really nice, and the stitching is spot on. Nice! YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you very much for the compliment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks great. Is it able to be carried any way other than scout? Thanks so much! That was my first attempt at air brushing the edge. It is a USMC Black edge fade over a Burgundy Base. Thanks for the kind words! This particular design only allows for scout carry but I have kicked around a design to allow vertical, vertical dangler or scout. I just haven't worked out anything I am happy with yet. Thanks again. 4 hours ago, YinTx said: Yes, the wet molded box pocket came out really nice, and the stitching is spot on. Nice!

Yes, I like that flag version of that skull.... It has been a popular touch with my customers. Thanks for looking! Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
battlemunky Report post Posted January 4, 2018 I'm an ESEE fan myself. I have an Izula, Laser Strike, have had a 4 and a 5 as well. Hoping to get a Junglas one of these days. Throw some TKC scales on it and you have a winner. Great knives. You can shave with everyone of the ones I've had. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine hasn't seen much use yet but it feels substantial and arrived sharp enough to take care of business especially after I stropped it. Those knives seem to have a no nonsense warranty on their products which is always nice to see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you so much. Yes they are recessed with a groover. I prefer the look as well as abrasion resistance. 22 hours ago, Sledzep01 said: I cant wait to get that good! sled You are too kind.

JMcC Report post Posted January 9, 2018 Firewalker, if I may...what stitching groover do you use and what do you use for punching the holes? Thanks for your time. James Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for your time. James Hi James, my stitch groover is nothing fancy. I picked it up at Tandy when I started. I bought both types, meaning one cutter is along the central axis of the handle and the other one the cutter is on the side bar (I prefer to use this one for some reason) I think each of them are around $10-12 at Tandy. I don't see a name on them. These sheaths are so thick that I decided to drill the holes instead of chisel. It was done on a drill press with what I believe was a 1/8" bit. Thanks for the interest!

I really like contrasting thread a lot especially if you can get a nice stitch in. Thanks again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
