Thanks everyone!
I've wanted a Bushboot ever since I didn't win Thurin's giveaway (I'm not a 100% certain I hadn't seen a Fiddleback before, but I think this was when I first learned about them) & couldn't be happier with this one. The fit & finish is nothing I've seen before and the scales are absolutely stunning up close.
It is the perfect size for pocket-EDC for me, I don't think I want to go any larger then this. I used to EDC a Wilder Forge necker (great knife made buy an equally great guy) but it was just a tad short for some tasks I wanted it to do.
Thank you, it's a fine piece of work indeed. It's actually a right handed pocket sheath as can be seen in the first pic though
If I wore a belt I would have went with his cross-drawn sheath, but unfortunately I can't stand wearing belts.
I initially asked Rick to make me a similar sheath with a stingray inlay but that turned out to be hard to combine with the pocket-clip. Rick eventually found a way to do it but the way it turned out just wasn't the look I was after sadly. Luckily he was happy to make me this one instead. I'm now hoping for a matching sheath for my GB mini hatchet some day

Goober, that is a sweet setup you have there. I have never been disappointed with RLO leather. I see that you went with LH belt carry. The Bushboot ought to fit nicely in his LH IWB/inside pocket sheath.
