I am putting the finishing touches on the Bolo Sheath Now,

I finally, after 4 or 5 attempts, got my press right, to make the heavier .095 thick Kydex material into a true formfitting sheath, so that when inverted, the knife will not fall out of the sheath, or rattle around.

Took me a while, next up, is 3 double edge i have to do, and then 2 custom models, But I am thrilled for the fact, loop a finger round the hilt and the knife slides right out, invert the sheath, with the strap off and the blade stays put.
so does the TOPS Saw and the Ferro rod.
