Just finished this sheath with full elephant hide overlay for my new Ralston knife. I like the stuff but elephant tends to elicit mixed reactions. Hindsight, I might've used a lighter weight leather to build the sheath and should have moved the button stud about a quarter inch towards the fold. I think it turned out pretty good. It's going on a 3" safari belt I'm working on, along with a few other surprises.
Detail showing how I tapered the welt to match the contour of the blade. You can see everything because I dye and burnish my edges, rather than covering it all up with edge paint.
