Nice looking sheath Bill, I like the decoration and stiching
In my younger days I made a lot of leather sheathes! Lots and lots! I started doing leather work when I was about 13 yrs old. Even after 20 or so years of working leather, I NEVER came close to doing the awesome work that you're doing!
Killer cool!
Congrats!

What fasteners are you using?
That's some nice texturing you've got going there. Sharp looking!
I believe that is a BURP modified. The original run had two styles of butt: a spike and bottle opener ("Coach"); just a bottle opener ("Varsity"). There was another run that started showing up in grab bags, IIRC, that had a smoothed butt like the one you show here. Fantastic blade. I got a Coach, but couldn't abide by the spike. I shortened and rounded the spike on mine. Now it is more of a skull-crusher pommel/butt with a bottle opener.
ThisNice work man! Looks good!
Burp sheath is awesome.
