You outta start a new thread with your experimentation results, etc, and keep the Photo thread for photos.Well I’m doing a little experiment.
I’m soaking three knives in gel stripper at the moment.
First is a clone of an Esee 3 with Micarta scales. I am soaking the whole knife, scale, and hardware.
Second is the BK16. Again... the whole knife, scales, and hardware.
Third is a KaBar Turok. This one I took scales and hardware off and taped off the handle.
I’m curious to see if the first two ruin the handle scales. Hope not. I have a feeling this may not end well hahahaha!

That is COOL !
Is that roll stamped or did you etch deeeeep. Looks awesome BTW
Definitely has a Spec ops vibe. I like it Dubz.Got a sheath for my custom 7. Remington drop leg. Seems decently made, and very cheaply priced. Olive drab, my fav. I read reviews before I bought it, and they seemed decent. One review I read said the velcro retainer would barely fit their BK2. I knew it would be close for the 7. Barely closes, but it's an easy enough fix. I like it.
Looks like she'll fit:
Lllllllllike a glove:

Yeah it does. Way cheaper too, but probably cheaper made. In reality, I don't wear a sheath that often. More times than not, I select a blade out of my duffel bag at the cabin.Definitely has a Spec ops vibe. I like it Dubz.
Does it have an insert i could heat up to squeeze the blade a wee bit. Make it more of a friction. Looks like the bottom screw might be a insert retainerYeah it does.

Yes it does. I actually bought the last one they had. These have been around for years. They still have coyote though. The 7 slides in tight. Not too tight, just tight, I like it.

The coyote would match my shotgun rig and my Kelty strike bag. Sweet Thanks DubzYes it does. I actually bought the last one they had. These have been around for years. They still have coyote though. The 7 slides in tight. Not too tight, just tight, I like it. TWSS.

I've experimented a little with Kydex/leather hybrids. I think I'm going to like this one.

I used a Kydex sleeve for retention inside the leather, then a Kydex hanger with a leather belt loop.
