Hello Bladeforums!
I made myself a slick survival knife..since we're going to be needing one soon...(JK, everything will be fine🤔...lol).
1/4" 80Crv2 stock, controlled heat treatment in a Paragon, AAA quench and double temper.
OD green .125 G10 Liners under some natural micarta. Stainless tube rivits.
I'm still dialing in the kydex sheath.. I'm adding a pouch/kydex attachment to the front, for carrying a SAK, strop and firesteel.

I like the way you are going with the sheath.

Thanks..I have experimented with attachments on the face of the kydex... since there is some real estate there.. ultimately, I feel like the way it's already been done is the most efficient. Attaching to the eyelets.
I'm trying to keep it simple as I get old..but my tendency is to experiment and overshoot lot of good ideas. I was going to take a few photos of the pouch making process for a thread over on BCUSA, so maybe I will add them here as well.
It's kydex with a strop/pouch combo..if it goes like I planned.
 
That’s a pretty sweet knife you’ve made yourself !!! I really like it , very nice design.
 
A nice spine shot of the smaller knife, pictured above. I am calling it a dual purpose..it has a fine tip for skinning game or food prep. The rest is a very stout bushcraft knife. I left the handle with a distinct bushcraft knife feel.
I will press a Kydex sheath for it today. It's available, just PM if interested.

Love that handle shape/style.....
I haven't started using formed tubing, but I'm trying to learn as much as I can.
Yours's look Great!
