Sheath for my first knife

Recently finished up my first knife and the other night I quickly cobbled together a user sheath so I could carry the knife around and then the next night added the collar/shoulder rig so I could carry it outside and do some chopping.

At first I thought of the sheath as pure utility and I have a bad habit of not doing as good a job on my own personal pieces but I have grown to like this one and think it really suits the knife.

:thumbup: Stuart, your work is getting that "professional" look to it. Each piece you do is better than the last. This one is particularly nice in its elegant simplicity and your finish work is top notch.

Thanks guys. Kind words Paul. It's funny that I really did rush this one thinking to do a presentation one later but in the end I think I caught the essence of the knife. I feel that the curve in the collar was an inspired moment. Nothing crazy, wild, new or fancy about anything here but for me it just works. One of the few that I am happier with in execution than idea.
