Artistry is a process, a journey, and a state of mind.
David Brown David Brown is not just a holster maker or Kydex bender - he is truly a Kydex Artist.

A little while ago I asked him to indulge me in a couple of ideas for paired sets. After a good bit of back and forth, a lot of input from me, but also leaving a good bit of room for his artistic interpretation, I honestly can say David blew me away with his creations!
(Edited to add: my "inputs" were more of thematic ideas, not execution or artistic inputs. Credit is all Mr. Brown's!)

First, I was lucky enough to end up with a pair of beautiful nuked F-16s that lend themselves to a tiger theme. The Snow Tiger offering later came and replaced one of the Nuked blades, as the Cerakote treatment was just too fitting!

Then, I also ended up with a pair of JH-10s that embodied an old Chinese Fung Shui pairing of a Green Dragon and White Tiger - two protective celestial animals.

David was kind enough to entertain my requests. Without further ado, I humbly present some of David's latest creations:

F-16s:

If only my Snow Tiger F-16 had matching tan/black G-10 scales, they'd be a perfect match!

The blood spotted stuff is unique for me...never seen anything like those. Very creative!

P.S. don't take any of those to the airport :oops:;)

I like the mismatched handles, they make it easier to tell them apart quicker.
 
Wow those are amazing pics. (mind if I use them ?)

I am so glad you like them, and that you let me flex my artist muscles.

Thank you all for the kind words everybody.

I'll upload those to Flickr and email you a link to my Busse album. You should be able to download full-rez pics there.

"Let" you flex your muscles?? Your artist muscles are what I (we?) seek you out for!! If I really wanted simple Kydex sheaths, I'm sure I (probably a lot of us) can figure it out without too much trouble. However, you take it to another level!

You've earned your praises around these parts ;)🍻🥃
