Paul Long sheath
At the suggestion of a friend @ Blade, I handed this SARsquatch variant off to Paul Long for one of his leather creations. This might be the 1st Busse to have Long pants, as he usually makes sheaths for more traditional style knives, as well as pistol holster rigs & such. He was surprised by this one, & agreed to make a sheath for it. It's a beautiful piece of leather craft, & he had it done within a week. Simply amazing! 🤙He sent me the 1st two pix showing the sheath before shipping, the 3rd is mine.

I didn't think that I had a fancier Leatherman sheath other than some basics- some GW pouch sheaths & 2 BATAC sheaths from way back, & still in use, & a BADAZZ that belongs to my Police Recruit variant that I can't locate right now...but turns out when I flipped this one over to check the maker's mark, it's his! 😊🤙
Side benefit? Both these knives fit very well in this awesome sheath 💪 (pretty sure it was made for a meaner, can't remember much on how I got it past snagging it off the X here on BF 🤔🙂)

This one was made by duramax duramax for my new (to me) Triceratops, one of a few I recently received from Bill as a trade.

My daughter is laying claim to this setup already and it looks like it will not be mine for much longer, lol. Lucky for me I no longer have a need to find her a birthday present in a couple months... :)

Bill does great work and the pictures may not show it but these sheaths he produces are VERY heavy duty and overbuilt. Retention on this one is rock solid and it doesn't need a retention strap to feel quite safe to carry. This was a big concern for me with this knife having the pinky ring, I still worry it could snag and draw accidentally but this leather would be much more forgiving of that scenario as it would be much less likely to actually makes it's way all the way out of the sheath.
