Kiridashi slip w/pocket clip.

Omega Leather Works · Mar 8, 2015

Just finished this little sheath for a great customer.

Tobin Smith Kiridashi in s35vn (I believe), and carbon fiber scales.

7/8oz with a 4oz liner

Antique brown and beeswax finish.

Looks great! Can we see the kiridashi?

Whoops!

I'm getting all kinds of artifacts and yuck out of my phone cam.

The browns look red and the molding looks kinda lumpy in some of the pics. The photo also does the knife zero justice. It's a very fine knife!

The backside picture of the sheath probably looks the closest to what it really looks like, right? Thanks for sharing, I like the pocket clip and generally the idea of having a nice carry option for a kiridashi.

Cool thanks

I was going to take a couple of last minute shots of the sheath but I forgot that I'd already tied it up for shipping. That butcher paper is actually really hard to tie up with only two hands.

I was able to get a couple of decent shots of the knife though. I may need to pick one of these up. I don't use my dashis in leatherwork much, but maybe I can justify it anyway.

Damn, that is one sleek kiri...

Okay, I unwrapped it. I promise these are the last pics. One thing I wanted to point out is that the top on the back piece doesn't bend at all. The clip interior between the layers is around 2/3rds the length of the sheath so the back piece is very stiff.

Those are pretty accurate.

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen.

Nice work buddy, looking good. I was wanting to see some pics of your recent work. Show more.

Thanks Dave. I'm going to make an effort to take more photos. I expect a few knives soon in the mail so hopefully I'll have something nice to post.

Pics look great Anthony! I am very excited to get this. I rechecked the info Tobin sent about the dashi (it was part of a folder/kiridashi combo) and turns out the dashi steel is AEB-L. Thank you again; you are a TRUE artisan.

It has been a pleasure working with you Jimmy. I didn't realize you were a member here.

The pattern was actually based off of the pattern that Jimmy included with the knife. Sure made that part of the job easy.

AEB-L is definitely one of those steels that I look forward to trying. It's at the very top of my wanted list. So much so that it's a good thing I didn't know because you very well could have received a dull knife back.

I just received this dashi pocket sheath from Anthony. I took a few pics of my own, and at risk of sounding cliche, they do not do it Justice. Anthony is an extremely talented craftsman, and a hell of a nice guy to work with. I have already sent him my next sheath request; he's my go to leather goods guy for sure! Five out of five stars for Omega Leather Works!

Thank you for sharing, nice pictures of an equally great knife and sheath. Now I have a slight bout of kiridashi envy.

Omega Leather Works · Mar 12, 2015

Dang Jimmy, I should NOT have grabbed my phone. Should have just let you handle the pics instead. Seriously, those are nice. My wife loved the 'dashi by the way. I think the cf put it over the top. I'll see what she says when I show her your cf laden picture.

I really appreciate the kind words bud. :thumbup:
