Kukuri Quick draw Sheath

[Tinbasher]

Hi, A few pictures of my first quick draw sheath.
I may still have to make a over shoulder strap if the customer wants one, I fitted the "D" rings and leg loop so he can tie it to his pack.

Don't look at the knife just yet, it's in for a complete make over.

+ - comments welcome as usual.

Thanks, I saw the rings fitted to a sheath made by another BF member and they are just what my customer wanted.

Very nice work, nice set up, like your fork stitching marker.

Thanks I have a wheel marker but I keep going back to the fork because you can mark it a lot deeper >

Very nicely done ,Tinbasher!
I've seen this style done several times by different folks over in the H.I. forum, and i haveta say your workmanship is quite good and well done.

If you don't mind me asking, what would a customer expect to pay for a rig like this? any idea of the shipping charge to the USA?( you can drop me an email if you prefer.)

Thank you for your comments guys.

Any one care to guess how the pattern was put on the front panel.

Expanded metal?

Beautiful sheath! What are the rings for, hanging it on a backpack?

Give the man a star.

He wants to hang it on a back pack plus add a shoulder strap later.

Good idea to use as a stamping tool, do you use anything else that is different such as broken bits of concrete etc? When I suggested the rasp I though that it would be hard to line up and get such an even pattern. Very nice work.

I have pressed the wet leather onto a very course sand paper it gives it a nice texture, with this one I just used the kydex press to get the pattern
