I really like the Runt and like many others have discovered, dang it's hard to get one in your hands!. Then after I got it .. how the heck do you carry it!?!? My off duty go-to clothing is Liberty Overalls - so belt worn sheaths are kinda rare on me and I wanted to go with something other than a Inside the Front Pocket design. I do have/wear belt sheaths when I'm on a trail or training, but the Runt isnt that kind of knife *for me* - rather it's a around the house/shop or grab it for quick errand runs. So the pocket style sheath seems to be the perfect blend for me. I built this one to fit my right back pocket and this is my very first attempt as well. I learn a couple things logistically about how this needs to be assembled along the way. I lined it with suede and it grips the plastic cards/license really well - but should have waited on installing it til after dying the veg tan. Bottom line: I'm REALLY excited how it turned out and can't wait to start using it.

Wow! Props all the way, that really came out great! The stitching looks very neat and I like how the suede accents the dark color.

Classy. I like it.

I no longer carry anything (wallet) in my back pocket, but that is a cool design.
 
Thanks everyone.

Bush.Hacker .. stop carrying a wallet after that Seinfield episode with George's fat wallet gave him a bad back? :D
 
That turned out great, man! Good job, gonna have to get one if I get my hands on another runt!
 
very very nice sheath man... I just picked up a three finger joe and would really be interested in something like this!

Never seen one in person. Do you own a Runt also? If so, a comparison picture would be appreciated.
 
Great work. The contrasting liner looks great.

I don't normally carry fixed blades that small, but sweet set up :thumbup:
 
I currently have more of your sheaths than Fiddlebacks and this isn't helping that ratio. Very nice work, i like it!

lol .. I'm guessing you're gonna be cruising the shallow waters on Friday, looking to shark something so you can get that ratio back even?
 
One more .. the first one was dark brown/orange. This one is Black/Orange. The soft light from that lamp doesnt really show darker colors all that well.
