All of his cool designs and customizations can be mind boggling when it comes time to decide what you want though! I exchanged about 40 emails before I made my mind up. I can't wait to get mine and place another order!

That looks great. Did you have this done for both blades? Not yet. I'm going to field test it first. I have a feeling I may cut the retention strap off on re-holstering. This is basically a prototype, and if it hangs in there, we will have another made. If not, we will make adjustments until it's squared away.

It's too bad we couldn't figure out a way to incorporate the retention characteristics of kydex with the good looks and feel of leather. I picture a kydex sleeve or liner that would fit into the leather a 1/3rd of the way down and get glued in. Just a thought. Anyway it looks good.
