OK, let me have it

To echo everyone else, that is beautiful work. I personally like danglers a lot. Only thing I don't like is when the design allows the sheath to ride up as you're pulling the knife.

The molding at the top is genius.

The exotic that intrigues me the most is chicken leg. Looks like a cross between dinosaur and ostrich knee. :)

To be honest, I don't have any decent eyelets. Normally I do that piece at least 2 layers thick and have problem finding longer eyelets locally. Next time I might pick up some standard ones for those times when only one layer needs them.

Oh i am very much interested in such long eyelets as well. So if anybody has any suggestions, let's hear them.

Funny you should say that. I actually wanted to do the chicken leg, but they were out and i have to wait a fortnight before they get more in stock.

I like the colour as well, is that bronze?

You mean leather? I used Fiebings pro oil 'light brown' and the smeared over (in sections) their 'Aussie leather conditioner' which I heated up with a hair dryer. That has darkened the leather considerably.

Sorry I should have specified did you buy the bronze coloured toad? I've got amethyst and royal blue and I am still debating on the 3rd colour :D

They look like this:

After looking at your one I'm tempted to give that one a go too!! :P
 
I got the toad from a walk in shop, they had a range of colors, got the tan for this particular sheath.
 
Yeah, that toad looks cool. Also omega, the link doesn't work, but using the words from the link the search turns up successful. Thanks a lot.
 
Best search for eyelet specpurch , the website doesn't seem to work too well with tapatalk. Or at least the links don't.
 
That looks excellent! And cane toads are worthless pieces of invasive species crap! Can't eat em, so might as well turn em into beautiful knife sheaths. As far as I'm concerned, you do first class A+ awesome work. :thumbup:
 
Yeah, sorry about the link. I was working with their CS earlier today because of a similar issue. Not exactly sure what's going on. :(
