First impression,
I took possession today of a sheath I ordered from Richard Holloman at Rawhide Leather in South Carolina, USA.

I ordered it on 8/6 and it arrived 8/20. I mention this because this was made to order from scratch and he doesn't usually make the Scout style for a SFNO LE. That is quick turnaround!
I debated on the Quick Draw sheath on his website but noticed he had a Scout style shown for the ASH-1. Richard said making me a SFNO LE sheath Scout style was not a problem. This can be worn on the small of the back or on the front for crossdraw. It can also be attached to a pack a few different ways.
I ordered it with snaps for quick removal but also had him make extra straps (custom fit for this sheath) incase I wanted it on a pack without the possibility of the snaps coming undone. Now that it is here, I see that these snaps will not release unless you do it. The extra straps are not snap type but are meant for permanent mounting. Attaches with screws similar to a Tec-Loc.
This sheath is simply amazing. The attention to detail on every part of the product is outstanding. Having a long history around horses and riding them, the leather is what you would find on a quality saddle, bridle or rein. The fit and finish is outstanding. The magnet retention is a plus but the sheath fits so good, that I suspect they aren't needed even after the leather stretches some with time. (They are under the tip end strap snaps) Good snug fit.
All my emails with questions, both before and after I paid, were answered same day. Excellent communication.
His logo says, "R. Holloman - Leathersmith" and it is accurate! Before I ordered, Rich told me his sheaths are "overbuilt", and that is a understatement. This sheath will last many many years.
