They look great. I like’em.it's really nice for you all to take the time to give props- I totally appreciate it. And the photos!
wrt the Chicago screws that come included with the sheath, you might find that the male and female components locked together. The shank is exactly the same length as the thickness of the sheath, so the head of the fastener can bottom out against the shank when tightened right down. Because there is nothing to grab on the female component, disengaging can be a little tricky. What I do is get a piece of duct tape and fasten it to the female end and hold it in place while using a flathead to loosen the male fastener. in hindsight, I should've put a tiny dab of grease where the male and female fasteners meet. This shouldn't be a problem if you're holding a clip to the sheath using these screws.
The screws are brass, so if you grab them with pliers they'll immediately get gouged up. I looked high and low for unique and nice looking fasteners, and these ones are beauties. Very nicely manufactured. Might not work for you, in which case they don't need to be used
Just got these and am Blown away. Damn Bill, youdaman!!

Looks great, very good retention, conceals well, and it looks like it will last a long time.
I put a Sagewood Gear Universal Scout Strap on for cross draw carry. I like to use one instead of two so I can swivel the knife handle downward for better concealment.
Thanks, I moved them to the other side so I could install the scout strap.Nice! Did it come with the screws clocked to the threads, or did you align them?
Gosh dang Paul is freaking amazing.Received a box from Texas filled with wonderful leather works of art from the master, Mr Paul Long.sheathmaker
This alligator inlay is worthy of my Holy Grail, Nathan’s Nasty Little Double Edge Fighter. Thanks again for allowing us to use your knives Marc.

Can’t wait to see it!He even accommodates basic ass people like myself who don’t want all the fancy inlays, although he did just send me pics of my UF2 sheath that’s shipping out. Got me a little bit of ostrich leather on this one![]()
