I finally got around to making sheaths for these. I am very please with the way the whole project turned out. The effect of the tortoise shell celluloid on the gold leaf is absolutely amazing like forced air through hot coals. As for the belt clip, I wanted to try something a little different and more user friendly. Simply depress the lever with your thumb and slide the clip where you want it, belt, pants pocket, coat pocket, even the front of your shirt and you don't bust your a$$ or tear up your fingers as with many boot and belt clips.

Hope you like the results.

Very cool, impressive filework. I agree with you, the whole package came together well.
 
I like that you put the price at the end of the post. I tried to guess the price from the description and pics--I was too high (more likely you are too low) by over a $100. Boy does that gold make the celluloid pop. What a steal. Damn this recession.
 
I was never big on celluloid, but these knives do look very nice.
Love the sheaths, but I'm on the fence with that belt clip.
Personally, I've always preferred a belt loop on sheaths.
 
Just got my first Appleby knife (pocket pup) from Robert. Man! He does great work! It won't be my last! Robert is a great guy to deal with and IMO undersells his product!
