Man that looks *good* in the sheath. There are a few things about this setup that I'd normally dislike (on paper), but looking at it as a whole, it really comes together nicely. In my experience snake doesn't like to be flexed often in a small area (like the retention strap), but keeping it treated will maximize its life span.

The engraving (which I normally don't care for) is stunning. I love how it goes outside the bounds if that makes sense.

Thanks for sharing.

That is exactly what I was going to say. That tiny detail takes it from wow to WOW!
