Leather and Kydex

Hi, here is a picture of a sheath I made for a small ring knife:
wett-formed leather with kydex beltloop. The small screws make it possible to remove the beltloop and attach a leather beltloop or a kydex-clip instead...what do you think?

Jens

Hi, glad you like it.
I prefer leather sheaths, but I like the versatility of kydex-especially the possiblity to have multi-carry options in a very slim package, so I tried this...

Jens.

Hey wait a minute --isn't there another Jens who uses that little ring-dimple for a keeper on his sheaths Has anyone ever seen the 2 Jens together??
Nice work and a good idea -- careful now, someone's gonna jump up and whisper in your ear "TekLok".
Just a personal preference - I'd put the screw slots on the backside.

Actually, we have NEVER been seen together!!!
;-)

(Note: the holes on the other Jens' knives are usually too small to fit your finger through-but that has also changed)
But your right, the next logical step would be the teklok...got to pick one up and try it out.
Greetings, JensJ.

Edit: why can't I post smilies anymore? Can it be something on my browsers setting? (new computer...)
