So I pulled the trigger on the 711 back before the price got corrected and just finished the sheath last week. Holy cow that was a lot of work. Respect for all those leather workers out there. And this is relatively lightweight leather. I can't imagine what 8-9 oz is gonna be like. The next one should be easier for me cause I learned from some of the mistakes I made with this one.

Wore it on a small walk in the wetlands by our place and it felt great. It carries high, but I like that for day hikes, walks, etc. I'm thinking of adding a dangler for backpacking. Does anyone know how secure a dangler would be with 2 snaps or should I stitch/rivet it?
