I've seen a whole bunch of EDC Busses exchange hands in the forum recently so I thought I would show you one of our members excellent leather sheath work.
I'm picky with sheaths and Dwayne at Armoralleather.com makes just what I like.
(Here's the page listing his pattern knives so you may not have to send your blade in should you decide to give him some business.) http://www.armoralleather.com/pattern_knives.htm
I prefer my EDC sheaths to ride high (out of sight as much as possible) and tight (to the body). No slop in the loop and I like a custom fit for the knife. I also like the rounded bottom. Because it rides high and tight with a rounded bottom, it's looks to be something other than a knife sheath. His "Bad*ss X-Loop" sheath fits my requirements to a T. You can also use a Maxp Tac-Tie on these X-Loop sheaths to attach to molle webbing in the vertical position. Of course it also will ride horizontal with the right waist belt.
There's more to leather than just folding a piece of leather over or stacking pieces on each other and stitching it up. Fit, finish, form and function are not easy to incorporate into a sheath but Dwayne consistantly hits all the marks for me and has done so without me ever sending him any of my blades!
I had an older sheath Dwayne made that I bought second hand. I took it apart and there's a lot going on inside where the sun don't shine. He is very detail oriented when it comes to retention and very thorough.
The SJ sheath is a few years old, distressed looking from use yet fit and stitching are like new! His sheaths age well!
Here's some photos to look at to see some of Dwaynes work.

If you need to send it in for a spa treatment at some time, I'd love to see it again.
