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: ![[Linked Image from i202.photobucket.com]](http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa21/jnphares/IMG_0041.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i202.photobucket.com]](http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa21/jnphares/IMG_0040.jpg) 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. ![[Linked Image from i202.photobucket.com]](http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa21/jnphares/IMG_0039.jpg)

You're welcome, Joe. Based on you signature line, I thought you might be interested in seeing the SHBM along side a CG FBM (in this case, a Military Overrun [#72] from the 2008 Cupidganza): ![[Linked Image from i202.photobucket.com]](http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa21/jnphares/IMG_0042.jpg) Also, thanks for the comments about my sheath and knives. These are some of my collection's best, and it's good to hear comments other than, " You paid how much?"

Although I'm sure what you hear the most is, "You bought HOW MANY?" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Thank you for the side-by-side, I now want one even more... I think I'll have Jeff put some rattle snake in my sheath for it, so thanks for the idea! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Masterpieces. Is that real white python skin? What a combo!
That is a VERY impressive setup Jim, one of a kind.
