Nice. But why the hole, for a leg strap or something?

Thanks, and yes, for a leg tie.  I liked the look without it, but then in this case, function trumped style, so there it is.

I'll be honest, 'cos I think you can take it and I know you want to improve.
I think the hole ruins it. It's a beautiful sheath, with nice carving, stitching, colors, design. And pierced by a hole.
Couldn't you have sewn a loop to the back piece, all hidden like? Or protruding from the tip?
As it was for a customer maybe you didn't have a choice, but for me this is an eyesore in an otherwise perfect sheath.
I also guess there were no eyelets that fit? That's a problem I tend to have...

And again, on the whole a VERY nice sheath.

100% agree.  Couldn't know that until it was there, then of course, too late.  Grommet would have made it even worse. Frustrating for me, as I'd spent over 100 hours and lots of leather on this build, and already past the expected delivery time frame.  For the small $$ I got for this, I had to call it done.  Customer loved it, so onwards.  If he didn't of course I'd do it again.  Future designs I'll be doing differently.  Appreciate the honest feedback.

Thanks!  And I presume the blade is not your style?  :)  Oh, yeah, I'm never really _happy_ when my Spirit Stitch shows up, but I've come to expect it and accept it, because it's gonna be there, and it's proof I'm not perfect!

No one has said it so I will.....

That knife is ugly.

The sheath, however is super awesome.

Great job putting lipstick on that pig.

(I didn't really want to be the mean guy, but...)

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
