I got the knife. What a beauty. The sheath is kydex lined leather with a baseball glove kind of stitch on the single seam. Post a pic Chis.
 
thanks john,
here are some pics.. the kydex is lines with buckskin on the inside to keep the blade from getting scratched.

Did you get to see how the piece cut before it went to the new ( proud ) owner. Nice pattern and hamon,
 
the blade cuts very well.. it has a traingular profie and took a SHARP edge.. it cut very very well.
the sheath is very.. er original. but it turned out very well.. i might do that kinda again. it kept the blade from getting scratched or rusty.
thanks yall!

I could see a sheath made like that anytime, IMO the sheath looks extraordinary well done :thumbup:
