Man these for forums seem as dead as a door nail. Soooo, I'll post a pic or three of my new SS4 and sheath from Rainwalker.

As you probably know, the SS4 is one of only a couple of Scrap Yard knives to be made of INFI. I haven't shown the blade because, if you've seen one SS4, you've seen them all. It did not come particularly sharp and is covered in that black "tactical" goo. The blade length is 4" and it's .20" thick. To me, the name "Street Scrapper" suggested a design that could be easily carried beneath a shirt or coat, like Busse's original Mean Streets. Sadly, the grips on this knife prohibit concealment because, while comfortable, they are just too big and thick. A slim, smooth Micarta or G10 would have been a better choice, in my opinion.

The sheath is my first from Rainwalker Creations. It is very well made and fits the knife perfectly. The knife snaps securely in place and there are no rattles. The clip provided holds the knife securely as I hike from the recliner to the fridge.

Nice blade Willieboy, I still want one of those. You may consider carrying it in a horizontal config, just a thought.
As for the boards, yes they are slow lately
 
Hey Willieboy,

Now your pics here are shrunk even more from the ones I re-posted on SY forums (Knifeguy over there = DWRW here....) and your originals are gone at the SY forum. :confused:

Somehow with the new smaller pics, the top pic looks like it has some high-tech trigger release mechanism . ;) (Visual effect from the guard of the Hobbit Warrior in the pic.. ;) )

.... Still a great looking sheath. I will probably have to get me one, but I have a few other financial things to get resolved right now.

nice sheath!

is there any blade friction, or does all the retention come from the handle area?

The maker said the tension on the blade is just enough to keep it from rattling. The retension takes place at the hilt area.

I deleted the originals on Image Shack and replaced them with the smaller pics you see here. I just updated the SY post with the smaller pics.
