Friend of mine is a custom leatherworker and just finished up a set I asked him to make for me. Had to show it off since it looks so fricken beatiful!

He took a quick pencil rub of the pattern on the stock and did a color match to the wood. Couldn't believe how nice it came out. I had asked him to make a new knife sheath as well since the ones that come with the Grohman knives don't have a very strong belt loop and look kind of boring. Then I explained that I wanted something to carry a few extra rounds as well as my GPS in the field. Only direction I gave him was to make the bullet pouch flip down so that I wouldn't have to wrestle them around the GPS pouch to get a round out. He said it nearly broke his brain to figure out the best way of making it, but I think he succeeded! Wore it while out scouting for bear on Saturday and it sits very nice on my belt :cool:

Now I just need to get him to make me a custom soft case to hold it all! :evil:

Edit: These are the pictures he sent me when he finished it. Shows the detail a bit better:

Cordur, that is absolutely beautiful. I love how the leather tooling matches the featherweight. Can you PM me his name and phone number?
 
I'll have to post up a couple of pictures of a few other hunting pieces he's made for me in the past. Sometimes it's hard to believe how lucky you are when you have friends doing this kind of work for you!

For anyone else who is interested in his work you can PM me and I'll answer any questions that I can.
