Great work though guys! Really cool ideas!

OK, it's been an odd day and i'm an idiot.
Day started out with a blizzard - so i couldn't do any dirt work outside, which means i finally had some time to work on the sheath more.
My truck is on the shop - so I took SWMBO to work, fried up a couple pounds of bacon and made a pit of coffee -- then SWMBO called to tell me the office had no power, so she was going shopping with a friend.
I started sewing up the pouch - and sewed the welt inside out.
About the time I figured this out, it was done and I didn't feel like cutting it apart & resewing it -- so I glued it on and tacked all 4 corners down as well.
Now the Frankenbecker has a monster front pouch. (almost tall enough to stack a pair of altoid tins)

One other thing - the stonewash finish is cool, but it's a rust magnet -- I can give it a coat of wax and send it home or I can blue it and send it home -- whaddaya think Clich?
p.s. Dubs -- a cheap rifle sling would hook up to those D rings for a pretty snazzy "Dundee" carry.... not that i tested it o0ut or anything...
