The rig breaks down so one can use the sheaths individuallyI’m sure
Sharp & Fiery knows this one

Sorry to hear about your hunting season,Looks vaguely familiar.
I haven’t gotten a chance to review it yet, as hunt season this year was nonexistent for me.
I’m sorry, Bill.
What I can say is, the quality is superb, knife retention is more than excellent and I’m looking forward to breaking it in.![]()
Sorry to hear about your hunting season,
I’m glad to hear you like it
I actually ended up with a large ember myself![]()
I agree the 3.5 is really niceBoth Embers are a joy, but the 3.5 is a perfect “all round” (loosley used) knife. Congrats!

Yup my machine hates black too. Blue requires a longer stitch length. I bond together test pieces for thread color changes.I recall us talking about thread colors and that some run different. Well, black thread is the nemesis to my machine. Pulls out of the bobbin like 36 grit sandpaper, won't function with thick leather. Switch to brown, smooth as glass. Same company's thread.
today I just opened my first sheath specific wholesale parts accountMuch excite!
Those are really NICE holsters, and I do have a question that shows just how ignorant I am on making holsters. Is the piece of leather on the back side of holster smaller than the front side so all the shape forming is on the front allowing the back side to lay flat? It just seems the holster would wear better if back side laid flat with all shaping on front side. BUT - my lack of knowledge requires me to check on how and best way this is done. Thank ya'll for any comments and guidance.Been doing some holsters:
