Rick eyeballed it using a few high resolution pics; I was blown away when I received the set! I've had Rick do a number of sheathes to complement various handle configurations, and they're always spot on!I would definitely go to my grave with those two. Well done. Rick really pulled out the colors of the wood in his leather dye. Did you have to send him the knives in order to match the color? I know Rick has a lot of patterns for Fiddlebacks, but the color match is spot on.
That is quite the collection Walt. Mighty fine examples of Fiddlebacks and leather both. I take it you like RLo's pocket clipsI have one for my EDK. Works perfect for me since I pocket carry in left front and belt carry right hip.
Thank you thurin. Likewise, I front pocket carry left (weak) side and belt carry IWB on the strong. I carry more midline than hip as my work has me sitting at a desk a lot of the day. It is more comfortable for me on the midline. it is good to see you back in the saddle a little bit.
Thanks! Distractions are a good thing sometimes, and what better distraction than a Fiddleback Friday?
Posted this in the Collections thread but thought I'd throw it in here as well.

We are lucky here to have so many gifted sheath makers here. I am trying to order sheaths from each to support all of the forum members. This is my latest from Bonafide:
Thanks Dave. I'll be curious to see how that one patinas with time - and be sure to send my bone handled Hiking Buddy back home most riki tiki.![]()
