I still love how these turn out.

Lots and lots of work.....................I mean lots of work.
did I say lots of work ?

A couple great customers wanted some new "Zombie Skin" sheaths

One wanted it dark "skin" with a red base and the other with black base w/stitches and holes ***Trypophobia warning*** (real thing look it up if you dare!!!) .

I think the black dye under the skin really adds a cool look.

You made me look.... and now I know what makes me so twitchy/anxious/irate when I can see paper between the holes of my benchrest groups!

Those sheaths are stunning!
 
Love that one with the stitches & red!!
What knife is that?
Do I have one of them knives?
Thanks Brother Brown!
 
Red and black would be my choice - looks like hours of job. How does it like from the other side? I love this idea of kind of "tag" mounting thing..
 
Thank you very very much everybody.
It makes an artist feel good to have the art appreciated.

The back of the zombie skins is really just kydex so it would be red.

I can send you some comfortable shoes to stand on your corner ;)
 
Dangler ;) that is correct.
Perfect! BTW I love the minimalistic design of od-green.
Is it flat kydex piece with spacers?
I'm no specialist - just did my first two for NFNO last week View media item 8369View media item 8390works well, click nicely, no banging and not too tight.
Tomorrow I'm going to make one for Ash and two for my AD - just a hobby thing for myself, but you helped me a lot with your photos to make something useful and good looking for a dangler ;)
I do not carry my knives a lot, so I did it for transportation mostly, but seeing your stuff made me wanna have something similar.
Thanks once again!

Love the red behind the skin. May need to get ahold of you soon. As always, that is some amazing work Mr. Brown.

Thank you and any time my friend.
 
David you continue to be one of the most creative kydex artisans I've seen anywhere in the world of knives.

Actually you are the reason I've even used the term "kydex artisan"...these look really cool.

I second the vote for all of them!
