Nice Mike! I have my own version of both of those sheaths ordered too! I already have a black Combat Master on hand for my Forest Green TGLB, but I'm going to swap it out for the new ACU camo one I ordered and put the B8 into the black sheath.

Turns out the B8 is almost exactly the same size as the TGLB!

Sweet looking rigs; I'll be making pants for mine once they arrive.:thumbup:

Thank you SpyderPhreak. Thanks Tom. I wasn't sure if I was going to have to fiddle with the Combat Master liner to make the B8 fit. But if the B8 is close in size to the Team Gemini (as in your photo), then we should be good to go. I know one of the earlier posters (please forgive my limited memory) talked about "adjusting" the plastic liner. I called Combat Master just to see if they had any recommendations. I spoke with Dana. She was very friendly and helpful. She said if there were fit issues, I could give them a call and they would take care of me. I can't realistically expect one sheath to fit everything. It was very nice of her to offer though. As far as making "adjustments" to the liner.... Dana said it can be done, but be very careful. Getting the liner a bit too hot can make a mess of things (my words). She said a very closely watched oven, hot water, or a heat gun have all been used. Folks at her shop usually use a heat gun.

Don't know if anyone wanted to hear all of this, but I figured I'd put it out there. Mike

Tom, is it true the reason your B8 order is taking so long is that you ordered the mammoth tooth inlay?

 

[skwurll]

It's cuz he ordered Red liners.

Why didnt that ever cross my mind.

I got mine Monday and I must say it puts the other 7-8 inch blades to shame. If you use a snap to your chop it really bites deep.
