Looks great!

I use a similar sheath design on my personal hunting knife that I've been carrying for the past 6 years or so and I really like it.

Thanks!
Yes, I will definetly be making more of this. I may make the belt loop with velcro closure on the next one, even more practical to get on and off the belt.

Does that thing have a magnetic chuck release!? Dang, I'm jealous. My Brodbeck gets it done but I hate having to fight to get the blade back off the magnets, even using a thin piece of G10 to make it come off easier.

Yep! I purchased the on/off chuck from NRT and mounted myself. It's a game changer if you're doing more than 1-2 blades at a time.

Oh gotcha, I have heard of people doing that with theirs too. Nice. About how much did NRT charge you for the chuck? They don't have it listed on their site, so I assume you had to call for it. I might look into that for mine.

Yeah I had to call in and get it from George... Was around $400 but that was a couple years ago I'm sure it's more with recent inflation lol
 
I see myself as learning to make slipjoints.
This in #11 and I'm trying bronce washers on ti liners. I'm also using an existing template to learn from others.
And since this one is all about trying I figured might as well try one of them upside down swaybacks.

I'm first using cheap paper micarta as liners while working on this one. When I'm happy I'll use them as templates for the titanium.

I like this one :)
