Made this one on a request of a fellow forumite. Didn't think it would be possible, with the pommel of the knife shaped the way it is, but it turned out okay. A bit tight right now, but getting looser slowly...

Nice carry too... :)

Not too bad, eh? :D
 
I like that color.Can you do a 1911 mag holder like that.
 
Actually the colour is a bit darker than the photos. It's dark brown in sunlight, and almost black in diminished light. Bought the dye specifically because it was called "dark brown", but actually it's very dark brown. And medium and light brown dyes are darkish too, the whole marking system is shifted on the color spectrum... :)


And I suppose I could do a 1911 mag holder, except trying to get one across the border is bound to get me into trouble. :D I can just see the look on the customs official's face... This is Canada after all. :rolleyes:
 
Vess made this sheath for me and I just have to say that I LOVE it!!:D It rides nice a low on my belt, doesn't move around much and holds the knife VERY snuggly, but lets go with a good tug on it. I will be getting him to make me a couple more sheathes in the months ahead.
 
Here's one more heavy-duty canted Chinook monstrosity done in a rustic pattern from a heavily scarred piece of leather. Added a rivet to make the whole belt loop a bit sturdier too... :)

Take a Peek:
