The handle looks Kinda Fleshy. & the sheath looks Somewhat Risqué showing off the Goods! I like it!

If you did the front side of a sheath like you have done here, and the back side some sort of printed kydex instead of pink ( like the unicorn/doughnut kydex ) would it show through?

At least a little, I'd think? 🤔 I can read the 1 of 150 mark on the blade clearly through it

Ah Alright I get it :)

I could make one like that and it would look cool but............I no longer can get this particular clear-ish kydex/holstex.

It has been discontinued and kind of for good reason.

Clear is a novel idea and cool and all but the material was horrible.
Better than some stuff they made 10 or more years ago but still horrible.
It is really brittle so when working with it , it can crack and over time it does crack, I made a holster a few years ago and it cracked right up the sight channel.

It also reacts to heat and grinding a lot differently than kydex or Boltron it melts more like ABS than grinds like kydex.

The other thing no one thinks of when "wanting" a clear sheath is that anything and I mean anything dust, little wood particles , dirt, guts or whatever gets in the sheath it is kind of in there and you see it. OCD folks it would drive crazy
The other thing is if it get abraded or scratched it will be there and you will see it.

But the biggest thing is the brittleness of it.

So clear sheaths are not available at least for now.

If they make something different I am willing to try it.

Glad you guys like it :)

Right on, Thanks for the reply. I hope you can still get the doughnut/unicorn Kydex. I definitely want to order something from you in that pattern one of these days.

I've seen these type of G10 handles/materials called 'Ghost' - this would be Ghost Red ;)
Cheers!
