To be honest it's best I don't have my better camera, I rushed this a bit and made a few cosmetic mistakes.

The retention feels spot on to me however, which makes up for the other mistakes.

Incorporating the Blade Catch was something I thought would be super cool.

I tried to make it on the smaller side for concealment & also to utilize the SK's beautiful choil for pulling it out of the sheath. Really like how big the choils are on the SK's.

The wood is white oak & black walnut. The yellow looking stripes, is just glue I caked on there. I didn't think to put tape on the blade when I was fitting/building the sheath, so it got scuffed a little bit. But it's not a big deal to me as I made this sheath because I plan to start using the SK. Fondling it just wont suffice anymore.

Cheers!
 
Very unique and very cool. 👍


I really like the way you used the choil for drawing, and...dare I say(?)..."bottle opener" for a stop.

One of my biggest gripes, when it comes to several of the sheaths that have come with the knives that I own, is the ability to quickly and easily draw the knife from the sheath. They hold the knife wonderfully. But, when it comes to drawing, it's like having to unlock a door before opening it. With your inciteful way of using the choil, it looks like your sheath doesn't have that issue.



*I wish I could relate to the "fondling" thing. I just don't have the patience. Regardless of the cost of any of my hard-use blades, I can barely wait 24 hours before taking 'em out to one of the Farms or Ranches and beating the snot out of 'em. Beyond that, and in my humble opinion, there is nothing sexier than a really large blade that has obviously been used accordingly. For me, it's like seeing an ol' IPSiC 1911 that barely has any finish left on it. 😍
 
Thanks for the likes and kind words all!

Good eye with the choil, I didn't see that! I will have to give it a try for a true Christening haha.
