I received a package from Jeff yesterday. I think he did a GREAT job on this white python dangler sheath for my arctic white Straight-Handled Battle Mistress. I couldn't imagine getting a better fit and as to finish, you can judge that for yourself:

Steel Fan (Peter) has mentioned a couple times how close my SHBM felt in weight and balance to a DFLE. I decided to pull out one of my tan DFs and photograph them side-by side; I was surprised at how close they really were. I knew that it was much lighter than any of my Fusion Battle Mistresses, but it has the same thickness, grind, and width as a DFLE. Tying in with the "Ideal weight for a Large Knife?" discussion, you can see why I posted it as my "Your ultimate knife" nominee.
