3V 0.17″, cryo treated, low end tempered to 60-61RC
9″ OAL. 4.25″ blade
7 oz
G10, steel corby bolts, leather

3V tempered in lower end (400F) for better corrosion resistance.
Sheath is ambidextrous. Retention strap can be unscrewed and rotated to another side to accommodate lefties or for vertical (drop leg) carry adapter. Strap also pivots to prevent accidental cuts (design inspired by SageWood Gear).
8-9oz veg tanned leather was properly wet formed, all edges burnished and stained, all pieces treated with 100% natural neatsfoot oil. I did not apply Resolene for more water protection as not everyone likes the glossy finish it gives, but can do if you wish so.
Vertical carry adapter is included. It can be worn with or without "scout" straps.

[SOLD] $240 shipped by USPS Priority Mail.

Slauterhause Slauterhause - yes, I always wanted to, but got it close to perfection only this Summer. It takes a lot of time, to make a sheath like this. Can't make it in a couple hours, like kydex. But I love working with leather and rather would be offering it, unless customer specifically wants kydex for any reason.
