One for an Rat RC-3.

[Diomedes Industries]

The customer that ordered this drew up their own design (they were a lefty) and I built a sheath that stayed fairly true to the original design. I was not happy with the big leather brick look it was taking on - so I distressed (simply by bending the leather before glue up) the leather a bit and with the mottling from the dye it took on sort of a tiger stripe look.

The pictures over stress this bending - but the real life product looks much better in my opinion.

The knife fits tightly but comes out with one hand and the back has snaps to put the sheath on without taking off your belt.

I like the result and I hope the pictures convey its looks.

I like it. I've been holding off sending you that SDS we were talking about becuase I've got an RC3 inbound and I know I'm going to want a sheath from you for my Rat. Great work as usual.

The maker's mark looks good. I especially like the large snaps and the backside of the belt loop left unfinished. The angled corners are pretty damn cool too.

Nice work bro!

My dad is a lefty, so showing him this to get the initial lefty results. He really likes it. Good job :thumbup:

Nice sheath work! I noticed the maker's mark too, it looks perfect.

Dang, I own a RAT3. Now you've got me thinking.

I really like that one....and bloody hell, I lost the original sheath to my RC-3 too!
