Here's a SAR4 I picked up a while ago - my first infi. I also went to the local leather store and picked up the supplies to make my own sheath. What you see below are the results (color = Fiebing chocolate). I wanted a high riding sheath with a qd loop for putting on a belt without having to unbuckle it. It's not Rainwalker quality (far, far from it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ), but it seems to work. I have a new respect for cutting, shaping, staining, gluing, drilling, gluing, stitching, riveting, and sealing leather than I did before. Jeff makes it look so easy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> This SAR4 will compete with my S5 this fall to accompany me on my hunts. I haven't had a chance to beat on it yet, but this is one LE that won't see the inside of a safe unless it's on my hip retrieving my rifle for a hunt. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ![[Linked Image from i247.photobucket.com]](http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg154/lisalaz00/IMG_2989.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i247.photobucket.com]](http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg154/lisalaz00/IMG_2990.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i247.photobucket.com]](http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg154/lisalaz00/IMG_2992.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i247.photobucket.com]](http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg154/lisalaz00/IMG_2993.jpg)

Very nice! Excellent job for a first sheath. Everyone should make a leather sheath. You don't appreciate the work it takes until you try it yourself. Love that handle too, really pretty.
