Both the holster and knife (and the gun) are breathtaking. One of the nicest combos I've yet to see, GOOD work ! !
 
I like the tooling on the holster. Made a few knives and sheaths but never learned to tool like that. Very nice piece.

What leather dye is that?
 
Thanks! That one has a new border stamp by Robert Beard and I think it was my first rosette on a finished piece. I don't even remember what color I used. It might have been a weird combination of colors because I don't care for the way it turned out. It was just something I cranked out quick to be able to carry the Lemat last season.

Interesting that you're not keen on the color. I think it looks great - really rich looking.

When I made sheaths I was in California. The oil based leather dies are illegal there. So I tried a water bases product and then gave up and just conditioned the leather after that.

The Tandy professional water stain is actually very good. Works much better than the water-based powder dyes.
 
Wow, that really is beautiful work. I love the gun, too, especially the grips. Very nice and everything goes together well.
 
Fantastic work!

I would be interested to see the back of the holster. Is the belt loop one piece with the rest of the holster, and is it designed for cross draw?
