MyRight contacted me a while back and has been very patient and understanding in letting me try my hand at a sheath for him. I asked him a million questions and figured out that this sheath was not going to be like what I had built thus far.

He wanted a sheath that would primarily go in his front right pocket - but he wanted to have the option of wearing it on his belt - via a dangler. Because of this - and because I didn't want to make a bulky package for his front pocket - I took this in a totally different direction and let the blade guide me in my construction. I hope he likes it.

This sheath has a tab with a dangler that is removable via two Chicago Screws.

Please give feedback - and again - I hope he likes it!

Thats awesome. This design would do good waxed. Makes it like kydex. Get a crock pot and keep it filled with wax. They have them at thrift stores for $5. Works great.
 
That is a great looking sheath, suits the knife and carry options perfectly.
 
Bro - you hit the nail on the head right there :thumbup: I can't believe how fast you put that together. I really appreciate you being patient and listen to everything I wanted to add to the sheath and showing me what would work and what may not.

I can't wait to take this thing on it's maiden voyage. I really, really love the fact that the entire danger system comes off and not just the belt loop part.

The contrast with the stitching color and leather looks amazing. The wet form on the holes is really classy as well!!! :) The perfect amount of handle is exposed to allow me to grab the knife out of there.

I can't wait to get this thing on my belt and in my pocket!!!

Thanks again, TF. It's been great working with you.
 
The versatility on this looks great TF. I also like what appears to be another well fitted, wet form. Keep up the awesome work!
 
GREAT! I am happy that you are happy with it MyRight.

This one is finished with a wax like finish - it is simply mixed with more oil to make it a little more supple to the touch.

Nice work, TF! You should be proud. I hope you get a lot of enjoyment from making such good-looking projects.

Stay sharp,

That looks great! I'm really impressed with your work.
BTW If Ray's name was spelled like that he could stamp them Loco!
I know, call me crazy!

I'm sure he's been called Loco in his time :)

I can't wait to get my hands on that sheath and I sure do miss my knife!!!
 
Awesome job! I really like the small profile. Looks like the two holes for the dangler has potential for a lot of other carry types as well.

Yup! I can't wait to get my hands on this one :D There are a lot of possibilities for this one!!!
 
My Right - If you ever think about another add on for this - I can always make another tab. A quick shipment back to me and I should be able to add something else on.
