I made this for my Ratmandu and I personally think it came out reeeealy good. I still need to clean up some of the pencil markings but all in all I am quite happy with the turnout. I give the retention about 90% I may add a chicago screw close to the thumb release to help tighten the sheath up a drop and I still need to add the slots for my buckle pouch. Please tell me what yall think. I should have probably waited till it was all clean but I could not wait, I hope yall understand

Great job ,I like the layout drawing too. How do you like the RMD ? (same color combo I have)
 
Its a beautiful knife, its heavy, sharp and definitely a knife I would be happy to have out in the woods. I have not had the chance to use it yet but I am sure that time is quickly approaching.
 
Any info on the belt loop - where did you buy it? Also, a short commentary on the process would be appreciated, I am thinking of making a few myself. Just trying to learn how and your looks like a good one,
 
Here are some more pics as the setup was intended :-) Instead of adding the slots added 2 more rivets and put the paracord lashing through the rivets and across the pouch so there is no rist of it falling should it come loose.
