This is for David's .220 pumpkin warden. The symbol is to scale and this was a fun project trying to do a pinlock while saving the most room possible for the carving on a compact sheath. The retention strap is fixed to the body of the sheath with a rivet, and I used a glove snap for the pin stay.

This was also my first time using leather paint on a sheath, so I hope to hear feedback from David on how it wears.

:thumbup: :thumbup:

In case you're thinking of ordering from me, I'm very busy right now and also looking for full-time employment so my sheath queue is much more backed up than usual.

PS - If someone scores me a camo frosted EDC at Blade for cost, I'll make you a sweet sheath deal. ;)
 
thats wicked.

the symbol is different than your Nuclear.... right?

or is it the 6oz Hogtinni blurring my vision???
 
That is really great! I will also be interested in hearing how the paint holds up! :thumbup:
 
You should have the funds by now via Paypal.

Fantastic job!!

:thumbup:

Now if I can only get the blade profiled and sharpened I will be ready.

I really like the way the pin lock is secured to the sheath. One less do dad to get lost.

I intend this rig for everyday carry so it will see a LOT of use. I do not see the surface of the sheath flexing much as it is so short and rigid looking. If it does I will report back. Touch up should be easy with a small brush and some matching paint. Nice tooling job. I love the detail at the center of the Biohazard symbol.

I work in a medical facilty so it is a symbol I see every day however, it reminds me of one the symbols the Samurai had tooled into their armor and flags.
 
Pretty frickin' wicked! I like the Bio-Hazard symbol, we put one on our big orange Gott water cooler in the truck once, it kept people from sneaking our ice water! Monster sheath. :thumbup:
 
You could do it like this and use an orange leather inlay and you don't have to worry about the paint holding up!

That orange leather inlay is darn nice.:thumbup: That must be a whole lotsa stictching.
 
leather paint holds up very well. I had a jacket painted in 1989. The paint still looks good, though it has faded a bit. The colors are a bit lless vibrant. I don't think your customer will have a problem.

This is a beautiful sheath. I also like the attached pin; an extremely practical solution.
 
nice sheath. I really like your sheath designs a ton. Hopefully one day I will be able to send you one of my babies to dress up like that.
 
That is an Awesome sheath Mikey, great work!!!
