Sheath with dangler

With shorter dangler (It was a mistake, but I figured I might as well use it.

I still have to add a retention strap. The wet mold holds the knife really well, but I still like the added security of the strap.
Getting the right tools really makes leather work easier. . .and it looks better too. My first sheath ever for the 711 isn't nearly as clean as the 911 sheath.

For comparison

I actually sold the 711 this weekend to a friend. I think after he uses it some he'll get the addiction too.
Now I'm just waiting for the re-release of the 411.

And some more older 911 pics.

Thanks. It's surprising how long it takes. I'd do a step like wet molding, then think "NICE! I'm on my way. Almost there." 2months later I glue it.

Love that dangler sheath.


Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.
