Got the little one dressed up today (finally.)

Spent entirely too much time fiddling with this yesterday, but it was a lot of fun.

I was trying to dress up the leather a little since the Silent Knight has the fancy maple scales and mosaic pins. I kept trying to decide what kind of tooling/carving to do, but in the end decided some nice dark sharkskin would dress it up plenty.

I like the way it turned out. The only thing I'm uncertain about is the retention strap. I was trying something different here, and I'll know after some use if I like it or not.

It's a lefty, so the 357 can ride strong side, just in case ;)

What a horrible sheath. You really need to do better. LOL

Looks almost like The Joker smirking. That's pretty cool. (The Sharkskin is the widow's peak and the smirk.)
 
Yes. Yes it does. Expecially when executed at that level of detail.

Flugin' Awsome! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Yeah, and I kind of got a streaking going with the antique stain, almost a wood grain effect, i like it.


The great thing about the sharkskin is that I picked it up for 2-3 dollars per skin, so you see less than 1 dollar in sharkskin material on this sheath. Man, Stingray or Alligator skin is another story!!!

The next time i run across cheap sharkskin i'll be buying more than 2...
 
There is still room for that Crusader cross.

I also like the look of many small leaves you have on the other one.

The Shark skin is very nice.
