Hey guys,
I just posted the review in the ESEE forum. Don't know if I can do a double post, but I'll just give a link to that post instead. You can find it all in there.
It's a 3 part youtube review on the rc-4 and a custom made kydex sheath in rescue orange by Martin Swinkels. Excellent sheath, good knife, I had a blast as you can see from the multiple fires in the movies
enjoy: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8228837#post8228837
if you watch the movies, please rate them too :thumbup: thanks all.:thumbup:

- how to pee with a sheath on your belt
part 2

- the campsite in a pine forest (Queen Elizabeth national forest)
- building a fire with birchbark, tinder and kindling.
- scraping the bark
- using the rc-4 as a striker for the firesteel (not excellent, don't use the edge and if you must, use the tip)
- wild camping and fires in Scotland regulations
- clean campsite, be responsible
- cooking cream noodles, with spinach and chicken on the fire (freezedried, but dang, that tasted good!)
- carry on the hipbelt of the backpack
- Loch Lomond
- pace counting with counting beads, know your distance
- building a fire in a moist oak forest
part 3

- shaving off the wet outer layer of wood
- rc-4 handle (g-10 vs micarta)
- the shores of loch lomond
- belt loop carry
- chow time, cutting up a good piece of meat
- weather, wetness and rust of 1095
- backpack belt carry, drawing the blade
- a campfire on the Rannoch moor
- aesthetics of the sheath
- a strong, nice looking, slender and very configurable sheath
- how the rc-4 functioned in some scenarios
