Hi Everybody,

Tried some 6oz leather over 6oz kydex, so 4 layers = 24 oz ?
Basically it is a .093" kydex sheath (my standard) with 6 oz leather wet molded and adhered to the kydex.

Hard to find eyelets this long but I do believe it works well.

I can tool the leather and wet mold it to the kydex so it turns out pretty defined and cool.

Funny it does quite the sheath somewhat :)

Did one in solid black and one it a battle worn finish on multi color dyed tan leather.

These super cool daggers sure do allow me make some nice sheaths because of their aggressive look.

Very nice work as usual. They look so almost Medieval or Trojan. When I hold my eyes just right the redish one looks a lot like Bacon.
MMM da Bacon!

Thank you again :)
 
Those look really, really nice - and craftsmanship shows even through the pics. I love me some full leather rapped Kydex sheaths, yeah!

Very cool. :thumbsup: Kind of reminds me of Mad Max, apocolyptic style.
 
That's a nice setup there. I like the leather over Kydex, makes a great look. Looks like it would be pretty tough as well. I really like these Dave, do you do this kind of sheath for other models? great work there.
 
I’ll need one once I get my Nuked V8
Ditto- This has my gears turning but got to see what's inside the mystery box to go any further - I've managed to push it out of my thoughts purposely not to build up the anticipation and the Forsaken Mistress announcement made it completely irrelevant after going bananas in anticipation for mine as I know exactly what I'm getting and it's killing me!
I'm now more than ever convinced that at any time we're all going to see a post that TODAY- the nukes are all leaving the compound in one shot LET'S DRINK!!! so that we all get them at the same time. That's going to be the greatest post of the summer man!!!
 
OK, time for this line "You're killin me smalls" Holy hell that's trick. Nice work- this throws a brick into everything I thought I was thinking about LOLOLO!!!

OK David- take that and laminate some hide to it- LOL! .... I wonder what that would look like, really do- maybe photoshop it? I would if I could just to see how it hit the eyes- might be a dud, might be a homer? That was the first thought I had because you set the mood with the leather.

Almost anything is possible with enough time and money :)
