Design work is really good. The belt loop arrangement is particularly good. Stamping is a little light for my taste. That particular stamp can be a challenge. Next time try a VERY VERY LIGHT straight line down the center of the sheath and work off that. Where necessary tilt the tool so as to NOT stamp on or past the border. That way you can get all the way down into the toe of the sheath, then clean it all up with a camoflage border.

Paul

Mr Long,
thanks for that...I am very pleased with how the belt loop slot came out...

I will try that idea with the stamp...I normally just "wing" it when it comes to stamps, so something to go by will be more "clean" looking

thanks
Dave

That belt loop is very interesting. Would you call it an intregal loop? Is it three pieces of leather? I really like the idea and am trying to picture how it lays out. Good work!
Rick

Rick,
Yup it is a seperate peice of leather...I did it out of 10oz just like the rest of the sheath, but that is more or less overkill when it comes to a knife this size...I am gonna be offering it as an added option when I finally get this design on the website and ready for sale

Thanks
Dave
