I was commisioned by a member on here to make a cross draw sheath for his knife that he has just bought, he wanted it to be right handed, with no fire steel holder, and stitches to match the colour he chose.
so this is what i made him.
hope you like it.

thanks mate, its my own colour that i came up with after lots of faffing about, with adding a bit of this and a bit of that untill i came up with the right consistancy, its between british tan, and dark brown, so its a type of medium brown, as a lot of medium browns i could not seem to get on with, as a lot of my customers no i will only use the professional oil dye, and there was not a dye even in this range that i was happy with, and in the cheeper dyes i had no chance, so i made my own lol.
glad you like the colour mate, if people only new how much dye i wasted to get my own brown that i was happy with.
take care.

Time well spent if you ask me and I'm sure the pics don't even do it justice, they never do! It means you have a unique dye that only you can provide and that should equal some happy punters! Well worth the effort mate...
