A 7/7 and a 4.1 should be showing up tomorrow, I got to watch a tornado without getting blown off to Oz by it today, life is good for the moment. Here's free stuff to commemorate the day. I wanted to figure out how to make pocket carry clip style sheaths and these two 2.7 sheaths were the result, I just don't need them both.
The rules are simple, just post a photograph of your 2.7 and you're in. I'll use a random number generator to pick the winner and it'll be on its way. The only caveat is that if I suspect the entry isn't genuine I reserve the right to not consider it. Uploading your photo to Instagram and tagging #surviveknives won't give you brownie points but you should do it anyways.
Here's the boring technical stuff about each, just skip to the pictures if you'd like. Each is made from 8-9oz veg tanned leather from RJF Leather, hand sewn with tiger thread, one is dyed with Fiebing's dark brown antique gel the other is just Fiebing's black dye. Both were finished inside and out with Tan-Kote, the outer portion also has a couple of coats of Montana Pitch Blend. The brown one has a basket weave on one side and my logo carved in ridiculously large on the other side. The black one is much plainer with a smaller logo cut in and it really demonstrates why I need to get the logo made into a stamp.
The brown one has a clip from Jantz, the black one has a clip from Paul Long. The retention on the Jantz clip isn't as good as the other clip but it can be drawn from the pocket without removing the sheath along with it, especially when wearing something thicker like blue jeans.
I'll let this go till Saturday June (whoops, July) 8th and pick a winner some time that afternoon. Feel free to add more than one photo but only one entry will be eligible per person.
