Got this a while back, and another forum member, 1066vik, made the leather belt loop/firesteel backing. It's a great package and compliment to my favorite blade! Just thought I'd show off some of Jeff's handiwork... ![[Linked Image from i991.photobucket.com]](http://i991.photobucket.com/albums/af40/willworship/BladeForums/707D28A5-1627-4EE0-9242-D20F5C59E3E2-4237-0000044CCFE9D4CC.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i991.photobucket.com]](http://i991.photobucket.com/albums/af40/willworship/BladeForums/1F21FACE-E6A6-43D0-B4F2-D5C400F7EAF8-4237-0000044CE28CC463.jpg)

Looks good. How is the retention with leather on half.

I would have sworn I answered this already.
I think that the leather is ONLY the loop portion attached to a conventional two piece Kydex sheath. In the very first post he said: leather belt loop/firesteel backing.

The retention wasn't overly tight to begin with (because of the Res C and gentle angles on the kydex), so the leather just made it slightly more snug. It stays in well, yet comes out pretty easily. I was a little concerned at first, because it seemed too easy, but it doesn't budge unless you're actually putting thumb pressure on the kydex to pull it out.

I may have read it wrong skunk I saw the word backing in there and thought he ment the whole thing.

I think that the leather is ONLY the loop portion attached to a conventional two piece Kydex sheath. In the very first post he said: leather belt loop/firesteel backing. That is the case. It's a pancake style kydex sheath that I ordered without any sort of mounting option, and 1066vik made a leather backing loop (I got the idea from BHK's Pathfinder sheath). It's a nice combination of modern and traditional, and the leather belt loop stays stiffer than a nylon belt loop usually would, making it easier to draw the knife out.
