I was so impressed by the GW pin lock sheath that I had MikeyMoto make me, I commissioned him for 2 more custom sheaths for my HOGASH and BATACLE.

The BATACLE sheath is a mid ride slightly canted. I had him carve Black bear prints on it. This will be the knife I carry while bear hunting.

The HOGASH sheath is something that Mikey and I came up with. I had him carve the leaves of my favorite type of Oak tree. Valley Oak (Quercus lobata) I told him I wanted to be able to change the ride height (low,mid,high) and also be able to attach it to the daisy chains that most of my packs have on them. The belt loops are interchangeable and all the leather straps come off.

I told Mikey what I wanted and he exceeded my expectations. I really wanted to see what he was capable of and I found out with these sheaths. I have had these for about a week now and find myself looking them over in awe. I have had the opportunity to wear the BATAC sheath on a hike and absolutely love it. Thanks again Mikey. Your work is amazing.

The first pics are mine and the last 6 are taken by Mikey.

WOW... nice carving MikeyM!!!! :thumbup: :cool:

Love the snap-on accessories too... that's a cool idea!

Congrats on your new sheaths bro... MM did a GREAT job for you. :cool:
 
Are you taking leather classes somewhere? Is there like a drug you're taking that makes you an instant leather artist? My understanding is that you've only be "playing" around with this for about a year???? Gee bro...maybe you should start playing around with the stock market....you could be a multi-millionaire in about a year!!!:p

Nice work Mikey!:thumbup:
 
Great looking sheaths Nate:thumbup: Going to have to get me one from Mikey.
 
Those are beauties, congrats to both of you!
