i tried something new with this sheath and was wondering what you all thought about it. it is a kydex sheath that is covered with red ostrich leg leather, the same leather is used in the knife handle.
i adhered the leather with epoxy (more to stiffen the leather than make it stick) then attached it with rivets...i have the feeling im going to have to also use some black lace along the edge for fear that the edge of the leather will peel up....we shall see, i made myself a test sheath to see how it does.
i like the way leathers look but i like the way kydex functions....trying to get the best of both worlds. the sheath also comes with a black kydex belt loop that isnt pictured.
if others seem to like it i will start doing this more often.
thanks for looking!
