Just got it today and I am a very happy camper! 
This knife is what I have been waiting for from the Swamp! The heft and longer handles, and the whole balance of the knife are great. It feels much livelier in the hand than the res-c handled version. Pics coming tomorrow as I get the chance to take it ouside for some poses. 
This will be a first as well for a new thing I am dreaming up. I want to start making a few ready made samples of my sheaths and offered at a lower price range. These will be offered in either black or saddle tan, and have only the basics. Most likely with a mid ride belt loop and a snap strap over the guard. At the moment I am asking for opinions, would something like this work? Would Y'all want something with the flair of a custom sheath, but without some of the personalization of a full blown custom sheath? I could have a few "in stock" pieces ready to deliver, and I know that some of you would really appreciate that!
My wait time for cusom work is getting awful 
and I am sorry for that. With this new idea I could work the sheaths in my "spare" time, and get a few ready to go. If this experiment works here I'll expand it to the "other" side of the fence This also gives some opportunity for me to farm out some of the construction to some of my local work horses...ah---- friends, yea thats it! What do yall think???

One thing I did notice is that the scales on my Ratwieler are much smoother than those on the SS, is it the bead blasting or is there another process I can use to get the scales that smooth?
