I made this for Zenlifter, and wanted to PM him a pic. Since I can't attach pics to PMs, I'm posting it here for him. Forgive the horrid color. I took it indoors, and had to adjust the lighting. I'll post a couple of better (outdoor) pics Tomorrow.

He wanted one like I posted in the other thread, but I took a few liberties.

Sheath is able to be fully disassembled for cleaning. Tension is shim adjustable. Kydex belt loops are adjustable to six heights, and adjustable for tilt and crossdraw. Firesteel loop is movable to 8 positions (well, 12 after I adjust the tension). Optional high-ride nylon loops will be included, and maybe drop leg attachments.

you might want to consider utilizing the RC4 type drainage pipe for your future sheath. great job.

Already done. I added a drain hole after taking the pic. :thumb:

Well I don't think you would really have to worry about corrosion with an ultima, its made out of a really low carbon steel (1.4116 kruup).
The stuff is like SAK or carbon steel, doesn't hold and edge forever but as easy as poo to sharpen.

Better pics. Belt loops removed as I'm working on them right now. Still a little finish sanding to do.

no bro, I mean the RC4 has a tube insert instead of the hole alone. The pic is not mine, taken from the INTERNET :o

Ah, I see. Seems kinda redundant, but neat nonetheless.

I will. I can tell you that the texture of the handle has the feel of tree bark. Kiah's can comment on it as well. It has an "odd" texture. And another thing, the spine of the blade is thicker toward the tip of the blade then it is toward handle/tang. By design.

Thanks. Here's a pic of some extra drop leg loops and a removable leg strap I added. I'll have her on her way home ASAP.
