Big Thanks to DRBARNES for the Hell Razor! It was love at first sight. I made this sheath yesterday...not too many tools with me here (I miss my tools), but enough to get her done, albeit rather time consuming...had to fix a few screw ups as usual, but the end result is OK. If I did this same sheath again I would do it differently, although this seems to be the case with any project...you learn from mistakes during the process. All-in-all I'm pretty happy with it. I was gonna do a theme sheath with a piggy back straight razor or something, but decided that I was geek-ing out and that it would be cheesy.

Looks good to me. I would be happy with that if it was my 50th attempt. I'm not good at stuff like that.

Appreciate the positive feedback... Although my stuff is amateur and no where near the level of the Real leather working men, I am pretty happy with it. Decent to look at and definitely heavy duty. On this one, the tension bolts at the top allow it to be as tight of a fit as I like...I could easily carry it inverted with no worries...no retention strap needed. HOWEVER, the handle on this beast is so heavy that I soon realized that it was too top heavy when carried, due to the low junction of the sheath to belt loop... Sooo... last night I realized I needed to strap the handle to the belt loop. Now, it rides perfectly. I made the mod at midnight after TOO many bourbons...hence the unevenness of the strap rivets... man, I really need to stop thinking it's a good idea to work on stuff when I'm tired and loopy...;)
