Thanks! The Battle Mistress sheath is a 12" Fiddleback machete sheath. Turns out the pattern fit that Huge BM so well, I ended up using it. That style sheath a Chainring Special, Forum member Chainring was the first to commission that style sheath and it's been popular ever since.

Chainring Specials are fun to make. Glad the customer ordered that style and those colors.
 
Awesome work Heber -- man that FFBM sheath (and the machete sheath as well) is just epic!!

Thanks Will, I hope to do more sheaths like it in the near future.

That hiking buddy marble brown sheath is clean! Very nice.

Thanks Joe.

Enjoying the pants you made for me! Great work Herber!!

Glad you like them Chris, thanks!

Looking good Heber!

Thanks!
 
I would like to purchase the hiking buddy pocket sheath if available. I also sent you an email, thanks.

Email replied to. That was the only sheath posted that was available and it's yours, thanks!
 
Hey Heber
Love that pocket sheath in the first pic on the far right! What is that color. Looks reddish?

Thanks Cory. That's my custom Mahogany, it turned out different then the HB Pocket sheath. It was cut from some really stiff and pretty 6oz tooling leather. The hide is really nice, takes to color differently then normal though. Probably because it's stiffer.
 
Hey Heber,

Does the sheath have to be a certain size to be able to do that cross stamp on it or does it work on all?

Thanks for your help!

Kind of, the stamp worked fine with my EDKarda, but really slim sheaths may not work so well with that stamp.
