My VERY FIRST DIY Kydex sheath :-) #602061 11/14/11 04:25 AM

I still need to clean up some of the pencil markings but all in all I am quite happy with the turnout. I give the retention about 90% I may add a chicago screw close to the thumb release to help tighten the sheath up a drop and I still need to add the slots for my buckle pouch. Please tell me what yall think. I should have probably waited till it was all clean but I could not wait, I hope yall understand I AM the Southernfryedyankee!

I can't wait to get Rainwalkers professional opinion, maybe he will chime in on this post and offer some advice. Everyone on this forum has been great. This is definitely one of my favorite forums.
