I forgot to take pictures of the process but I finally made a new pocket sheath for the EO1 Hunter. I kept it natural and only added some leather conditioner and mink oil to see how it ages over time.

yeah, the latter is what i meant. i like to see a nice "patina" form on natural sheaths.Thank you, and the more I do with leather the more I realize I hate dyeing it. Usually adds 2 days of drying plus loads of conditioner depending on how dry the leather feels afterwards. Plus natural veg tan ages beautifully with some good use!
I remember him posting pics of that and I think another maybe(?) of it after sitting in a sink while he was on one of his trips or something and it was all rusty. (with the scales separating iirc)View attachment 1068817
A picture from Instagram by Reuben Bolieu of a well used Kephart I made for him about 10 years ago.
The rusty one was an old Nessmuk. When he was doing an article I sent it to him for free because it was slightly warped, he made it his kitchen knife.I remember him posting pics of that and I think another maybe(?) of it after sitting in a sink while he was on one of his trips or something and it was all rusty.

Did you rehandle it or did it not need rehandling?
My bad. It's probably still going strong also.The rusty one was an old Nessmuk. When he was doing an article I sent it to him for free because it was slightly warped, he made it his kitchen knife.
I have a redesigned model that I never made. I can post a picture of it tomorrow if you want to see it.JK Knives do you still make the friction folder? I've seen multiple photos of it here and other places and I feel like I need one in a bad way!
Here’s my version:
