More Rainwalker goodness!!!

Hi yard i just got my first pants from the leather genius Rainwalker. i got these pants for my SOD. the fit and finish are superb! i wanted the sheath to be detachable so i could throw it in a pocket or take it off for sitting or anything else without having to undo my belt and all that rigamarole! so rainwalker said i needed a frog (i thought he was joking at first!) i must say it is a HUNK of leather! its gotta be thicker than my cgfbm sheath. the stud firsts perfectly in place and i even got some cool little lines on the frog. some sutilties include the belt loop and top of frog being beveled at an angle along with the snap. i am very pleased with his work. thanks jeff!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

now the pics!







and my fav!...



"made in USA" !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Beautiful work as always.

Sweeet!!

Before the SOD came out, I worked with Jeff to make one with a stud and removable frog just like that, but instead of the retention strap on the handles, it wraps around the square choil. I didn't go through with it because money got tight, but I still plan to get one later.

Awsome. If I end up with a DF, or other large chopper, that is the sheath I want for it.

Black leather, ohhhhhh, ahhhhhhh!

Great looking sheath, Matt. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> It is much like the one I have for my Crowell-Barker competition knife, only Jeff's work is better. Very practical and handy. That is a good idea for any large knife. He did me a machete sheath with a detachable frog.

my ol lady really likes it too...i might let her use it since i got the fbm now!

Nice! Congrats!!

Wow, that is some very nice work. I'll have to employ rainwalker for my scrapyards! Once I get the SS4 stripped, he's the man.

i have a SOD from Rainwalker too.. nothing touches Jeff!

Thanks for the pics Matt. Definitely a sweet design <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> I wonder if a "frog" can be done with a kydex sheath/leather "holder" combo hmmmm....... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

i dont see why not poi! jeff always loves a challenge! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Nice. That looks really good. I'm leaning towards something like that for the M9 LE (if and when I ever get one...)

Right you are Vic! I might make a "frog sheath" for the M9LE once I receive it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

That's an excellent idea. My CW needs some leather. Man, he does excellent work.

Thats a cool looking sheath!!!!

There is nothing like the smell or look of leather on steel

Thanks for sharing

Dan

man thats a great idea!
congrats

i love that frog!!!!!!!!!!!

The frog does its job! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

That is a real cool setup. Never saw one like that. You are right, Rainwalker is a true craftsman. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

+1 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm glad to see that your SOD pants... and Frog <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> made it safe and sound. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> I'm glad you like them too!! Your Very Welcome! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The frog can be very handy, I've made quite a few sheaths with frogs, I used to make them more for Medieval Sword scabbards when I was heavily into the Medieval reenactment stuff. But they are handy on a good standard fixed blade as well.




It can be done. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />




Thanks Dan... I couldn't agree more. Although I'm around leather constantly, I never get tired of that leather smell when I'm working with it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />


Thanks guys for the complements... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Looks like I may be making some more frogs in the future... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ya' think?!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And congrats on 6K Jeff! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

hey jeff...ever made a motorcycle seat?

heh. yes, i would buy it.

Thanks Tom. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Just a couple of years ago I would'a never thought i'd ever type that much. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />



I've done some simple upholstery in the past and my wife has some relatives that have done upholstery, so I guess I could do it... I've never had the need to make a motorcycle seat... yet. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

i'll send you the pan. do you need padding? i'll need to find a stiff memory foam.

gotta be as low profile as possible. maybe something with a gator or ostrich inlay.

trouble is i probably couldn't bring myself to sit on a rainwalker seat.

nice sheath i ordered one from him about 4 weeks ago and cant wait for it to get here.

Jeff's sheaths are always worth the wait!!

As I have said often, Jeff does beautiful work! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I guess I could find the padding... I'll be glad to see what I can do. Sounds like an interesting challenge. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
