Howdy folks!
Well, I finally finished a sheath for this knife today. Well, almost finished. It still needs some wax removal and polishing, but the construction is done. I'd like to say that this is my first snake-skin inlay, but it's only my first successful one. Or mostly successful one! This sheath is fully lined with kip.
I have been playing around with sheath ideas and I decided to make this able to hang either low from the belt loop or high on the waist. Here is the back and both ways of wearing it.
With the knife in place.

Clever design! I admire the feel of the different ways to wear it. Almost an "in repose" or "battle ready" air about them. A most elegant execution of a beautiful piece.
Very nice.
Clean and great looking.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
