It's about time I finally got off my duff and got around to getting some good pictures of the sweet, sweet sheath I had Dwayne make for my satin Bowie RMD! 
I wanted something I could carry either horizontally or vertically, and was versatile enough to easily go from a waist or shoulder backpack strap, to a saddle, and then to my belt while hunting.
After a few different ideas and some brainstorming with Dwayne, I came up with the idea of adding a split, integral belt loop on the back of the sheath, which would fasten together using one-way snaps like I've seen on some concealed-carry IWB holsters (pull-the-dot). This would be in addition to the regular vertical carry loop.
Sometime after we had the design finalized, I saw someone else with one of Dwayne's Emu-inlaid sheaths, and decided I wanted to dress this sheath up a bit with some Emu custom-dyed blue to match the blue/black G10 on the handle of the knife. Dwayne had a hard time getting the dye to match, and the Emu is slightly brighter in color than the G10, but I think it looks GREAT and I'm sure it will fade some over time anyway, so it is OK with me if it is a little bit brighter.
Anyway, just thought I'd share another one of Dwayne's fantastic working works of art! :thumbup: Enjoy!
