Thanks friend, and congrats on snagging one! The acrylic is absolutely stunning on this run.

The maker is Rob Crist. He's the owner of Beard & Owl leather. It's a special order, Shearling Lined Medium Classic, Shark leather slip.

Rob's a good friend, and he always let's me know when the good stuff comes in. Shark is hands down my favorite leather for slip material. It has the soft feel of peebled leather, while still being tough as rawhide. Color varies widely from light to dark per batch and the grain usually resembles tree bark.

He'll have more shark in a month. If you'd like, I could shoot you a message when it comes in. Their cloth slips are fire too.

Thanks a lot for the information, that sounds really good. The sheats are pretty cool with the nice leather, the red stitches, the little owl... Besides their stability, they also look warm and smooth from the inside, which will be a good protection against cold weather.
I will keep an eye on these for sure, and would be interested when the next ones are available. Thank you!
 
Wow!!! Very cool. I’m lucky to live where the bald eagles are plentiful. Never saw one until I moved to Wisconsin.
I've never seen them in person, but I watch their nests online. There are several channels on YouTube (Big Bear Bald Eagle Nest etc.), It's really cool to see how they feed their offspring, that time is approaching now!

I don't know if you can call this a classic, a soldier's knife from the Dutch army in '63. Got it in the mail last night, oiled it and used it today for a bunch of little things
