Got a few new sheaths from Chad last week, just in time for my Elk hunt (which was unsuccessful; don't ask. The very warm and dry weather has the animals still waaay up in the forest with only a few being taken this year). The sheaths turned out fantastic, and his craftsmanship is outstanding! :cool: :thumbup: Took a few indoor shots the evening before I left, and a few outdoors today. Enjoy the porn... :D







The BT6 is my new de-facto standard belt knife for rifle hunting. Perfect for my needs in just about every respect, and this sheath is just icing on the cake. I love the way that the belt loop can be undone, but with the way he attached the pull-the-dot snaps in opposite directions, there is no way it is coming loose accidentally. The knife lived on my belt while Elk hunting for 4 days last week (and rode with me on the ATV the one day we took them way back into the forest, in a heavy snowstorm to boot), so it already has a few character marks on it you can see in the outdoor shots from today. But it handled the snow and wetness well!











I asked for a simple sheath to match my satin Snake Warden, and he made this one of his EDC design for me. Matches the knife SO well!!! Medium brown with double row olive stitching.











Finally, some bonus content!!! ;) Not a Busse knife (it's a Fiddleback Forge Bush Hermit in blue canvas micarta and nekkid "spalted" A2 steel). Too gorgeous not to show here! :eek: I asked for a sheath with higher coverage for the handle than his standard EDC style, and for the belt loop to be higher as well. Nothing too fancy, but the blue thread really sets it off! :thumbup:











Chad's sheath workload has been picking up a lot lately, and I'm sure you can see why. :cool: Thanks for these beauties Chad! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
Beautiful stuff. I have been hoping someone would post a leather BT6 sheath on the forums. That looks great.
 
Niiiiiiiice !!!!!!!!!!!! Really nice !!!

As to the Elk hunt.... you need to climb higher mate ;)
 
Fantastic. Everyone I get from him seems to be just a little bit better than the last...and that's saying something.
 
Very nice...making me look forward to the order I have sitting with him right now even more than I was :)
 
Looking good! Nice to hear on the BT6, and it's looking great too. I'm excited to get my first Pirtle batch.

Just curious what the reasoning behind having the handle have more leather coverage on the FB is? Less coverage is more handle to grab when drawing the blade. Just a personal preference thing?

More retention, I'm guessing.

Leathery goodness. Bad pics.
 
Very nice! I emailed him a couple of weeks ago but never heard back, I need one for my TGP. He really must be busy,working on all of these.
 
Thanks for the great review! I'm thrilled you like the sheaths, especially the "Damn Green".. [emoji4]

Thanks to everyone else as well, always great to see the sheaths in their new homes.

5seven, I am usually a few days behind replying to email being a one man part time shop, but I don't have an email from anyone with a TGP that hasn't had multiple replies or already ordered. Sorry about that. Can you try to send it again? Chad@pirtlemade.com

Gorgeous sheaths spyderphreak, I also like a belt loop I can unsnap and take off without taking my belt off. Sorry to hear your elk hunt was unsuccessful I look forward to your thread on it each year
