*****Pictures added in Post #7*****



Hi, long time lurker, first time to post here.

I originally joined so I could see the pictures in the sheath making forum.

I've been after an XM18 for a long time now and finally pulled the trigger on one (by paying thru the nose on EBay).

Long story, short, I couldn't be happier!

This thing really is built like a tank!

It's a 3" non-flipper with an OD green scale.

One question, though : is the scale supposed to stand proud of the frame opposite the lockbar?


Thanks,
Tim

Congrats Tim! Yes, the scale lines up with lock side and the Ti liner is a little lower. In other words the OD scale and the ti liner will not be even where it meets the thumb stud.
 
Hi Tim, u da man!

I'd like one of those knives too, just to see how it does, ...will it be a user? Any plans for it yet?

Oh, yeah, I don't (can't afford) buy shelf queens.

No specific plans for it, but I've already made a belt sheath and have carried it since receiving it.

Still haven't gotten camera back from wife, but will eventually post pic's.

Nice looking sheath. What type of loop did you do for it on the reverse?

Thanks!

The back side piece was trimmed to the width I wanted and folded over and stitched at the bottom to make a loop for a max. 1 3/4" belt. Only drawback to that is the loop is rough side out, but a fair bit of wax and neetsfoot oil and it buffs to a fairly smooth finish using a cotton wheel on my bench grinder.

Got a couple other ideas for sheaths I'm going to play around with this winter while I'm off work.
