Texas Regulator by Rainwalker!

I finally got my Rainwalker in the mail last week.
It only took <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/2weeks.gif" alt="" /> but the wait was worth it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
First I asked Jeff to do a grimreaper,
but then I thought,nah lets go with the regulator theme.
I think after all the emails & tweeks it came out pretty darn good.





and what better companion to this regulator than a skeleton key?
I love how the key rides unobtrusively in it's slot on the front.














The fit & finish,I can finally see for myself,are outstanding.
Handmade american craftsmanship right there folks.
Thank you Jeff.

[censored] that a nice work of art!!! My reg would love to sit in pants like that!

Wow Myke! That's sweet!

gonna get something fancy for your SJ Jared?

jeez, great work

Very, Very nice!!! I'm going to have Jeff make me something special as soon as I figure out what my favorite knife is.

That's an awesome looking sheath...super cool.

Man, talk about a well dressed outdoorsman. Accessories make the outit, they say. Great looking sheath! Too bad you can't wear one in Texas. I hear Bowies are illegal to carry there.

Super cool! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

How much does that setup weigh all together? Any idea?

Love me to Regulator and that is one sweet pair of pants! Great job. Jeff never ceases to amaze me with his work.

I really should get back on his list.

VERY COOL!!!!
Jeff works magic with that leather!!!!!
I really like the hidden Key as well!!!
Grats on the new pants Myke!!!

Beautiful, just beautiful

Some nice work there ! I think it is really cool how the key is hidden !

All I can say is Wow I am very impressed. Awesome Job Rainwalker.

WOWZA!!! That is too cool!!!!

I think my SOD LE needs some leather now!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Jeff has a habit of exceeding anyone's expectations when making his art.

Unreal heirloom quality sheath there Myke!

Not only will you feel like a million bucks when you wear it... you will look like it too!

Having a custom sheath that NO ONE in the world but you have is really cool.

Well done Brother,great design,and brilliant execution.


Peace.

Thats sweet, congrats! I can't wait to have some leather made by Jeff either <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I'm digging that fo sho! Awesome, and the spot for the Skeleton Key is sweet too, I wouldn't have even known it was there. I was wondering why there was a tassle hanging from it at first, lol.

That sheath was one of those interesting projects that I really enjoy doing, although like anything these days, it always seems to take forever to get to. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I'm really happy you like it, Myke. Thanks for your patience and for giving me the time needed to do the job right, it was a pleasure working with you on this. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the complements guys! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

BTW, I meant to say that you did an excellent job on the pics too, Myke! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Thanks PoP,after seeing your Bird Dog turkey feather by Jeff I knew my first Rainwalker had to be something special,& I knew Jeff was up to the task.
Boy did he come through with flying colors.

The complements are well deserved Jeff.
I thank you for yours also & everyone else for thier's.
And don't worry,the next one will be much easier. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Geez Myke, that things so pretty I wouldn't want to carry it and get it all messed up! And who says leatherworking isn't art!

I've been pretty impressed at how well the leather paint holds up. I made my mother in law a fancy tooled and painted leather keychain several years ago, and she carries in her purse and uses it every day and it still looks great. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Jeff, all I can say is you are a true artist!

Now about that no skunk logo. hehe <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

LOL!! That would be interesting! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Could you imagine (and I'm sure you can) the PITA it would be to put my Avatar on a sheath! It may be goofy lookin, but I like My Avatar, AND it goes with the name! Oh and don't worry, I'm not asking for somthing like that, just talking.

I reckon that I am about half Goofy and the other half has got to be Daffy! What a combo!

Randy, you're half right! Jeff, very nice work! I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and get one made for my SOD someday soon, and you're gonna get my business!

Hehe, Jeff's like having our own sheah maker on retainer! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I want a rattlesnake inlay for my SOD, nothing too extravagant. But the downside is I'd be afraid to use it. Those are beautiful!

Your right, that would be some work... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> You might want to save that idea for a little bit bigger sheath someday! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Anything's possible. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Rattlesnake is actually a pretty good choice for a user, the Rattler hide is pretty durable. I have a customer who has a full rattler wallet and said it held up well, so he had me make him a full Rattler GW sheath.



The Rattler on that sheath is laminated to regular leather to add to the thickness and overall integrity, I guess it's still working out well for him.

I actually prefer to use it as inlay though myself. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Great job! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />
