Worked on this one while trying to finish some other ones up. Not done yet though. still need to finish up the edges and some minor tweaking. I just wanted to see what the OD kydex looked like with the sage ASH. I like the color combo. I think I'll do a tan one next. Still no where near as nice as Tyrkon's sprinkler head sheath though! :D

Thanks guys. Calder, I encourage everyone to give it a shot. It's pretty easy to work with. :thumbup:

Yeah, we want you to keep that ASH covered

Great looking sheath:thumbup:
Ya'll make it look to easy, but surely it's not that easy

Does it rub blade at all?
I have several with firm handle retention with no Blade touch once inside. Have A couple other handle retention's that rub the blade a good bit

If your Blade's not touching once inside your a master already...cuz they look awesome:thumbup:
 
Thanks Kenny (and everyone). No blade rub at all. :thumbup: I have a few sheaths that I got a while back, and they're all blade retention. That's part of the reason I wanted to make my own sheaths. I don't care much for blade retention. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just not my cup of tea. I much prefer handle retention, or a variation there-of.

Also, in case anyone is wondering why I left the opening near the tip, I did it on purpose. I like to use it as a drainage point instead of drilling an extra hole. :)
 
Great job Dan!

I like that style of drainage point... straight thru flush. :thumbup:

And no blade rub too... do you wrap the blade to get the space inside? :confused:

Yup. I've experimented with different thickness' of wrap on the blade and found how much of a difference it can make. too much, and you get blade rattle. Too little, and it's a super tight fit with blade rub.

There is a small amount of blade rub, but it's from pulling the blade against the sides or top when holstering or removing the knife. Inevitable really, but it's so miniscule that I can barely notice it after removing and holstering the knife many times. Same thing you'd expect to see from any kydex sheath.

HEY! How did you get my knife? :grumpy:

Looks great! I've got the identical one on order. Nice taste. :):thumbup:
