A little while ago Dex ran a contest celebrating going orange and achieving 1000 posts. I was fortunate enough to win what I thought was one item. I ended up receiving more than expected and through a conversation on the phone, gained a lot of knowledge from him as well as affirmed in my mind that Dex is a really good guy and will bend over backwards in the name of karma.

Thank you Dex for everything. I am still in awe.

This is what was waiting for me when I got home from work.

I was expecting a leather sheath, not a knife to go with it... Then I opened the box and fell in love.

Not only was there a BK-11 in the box, there was also the Ka-bar micarta scales as well as an awesome custom leather scout style sheath for it.

Just look at the burnishing and little things that all add up to make this a work of art.

He also included a pair of stainless bolts for the micarta and two sections of 550 cord so I can make a lanyard for the knife. I failed to get a picture of the 550 cord though...

I plan on removing the coating on this BK-11 and force a patina. This will be with me when I go fishing for sure. I have never carried a knife scout style so I am sure there will be a learning curve. Dex gave me a bunch of tips and tricks about this sheath and scout style carry. He has been carrying his BK-11 in a sheath just like this one everyday for 3 years.

Expect to see this setup in a lot of pictures in the future guys!

Thank you Dex!

That is a great gesture! A whole set-up all at once. That's just superb. Congratz on the win, and kudos to Dex!
 
Dex does amazing work. His attention to detail jumps out at you. Congrats man!
 
Awesome Dresnor! So glad you like it.

Can't wait to see what she looks like with a stripped blade. Leather really doesn't go well with the new KA-BAR coating, It's just a little too rough in My Opinion. haha
 
I was thrilled with the ferro rod I got from Dex. I'm absolutely blown away by this set up! The leather work looks incredible and the generosity is even more impressive.

Thanks for sharing!
 
the good vibe flow in this sub forum never ceases to amaze me. Congrats and great looking job, Dex.
 
Thank you guys for the kind words about my leatherwork. Glad so many of you like it. :)

How does one car a scout sheath? How can I go about ordering one? Very nice!

This is my my BK-11 sheath I made about 3 years ago. She's kinda like a beater sheath now but I just love her. Have used it almost every day since I made it. It has been rolled over by a truck by accident too. Any way, I wear it in the front where the handle sits right in the middle of my belt buckle. Easy access and isn't even noticeable when my shirt is over it.

I am in the process of making a few more and they will be upon my website that I am currently working on. If you really want one, just contact me and we can figure something out. I will eventually have these for the 11, 14, Izula, and possibly the Izula II. Just depends on how people like them.
 
That's just awesome! Excellent work Dex!
Congrats on the win Jeremy. That's a great set up.

Thanks again for the ferro rod Dex!
I just used it last night to start a fire. Works great!
