I get a lot of lookie-loos. Folks who write with questions and are never heard from again.
A few weeks ago someone wanted a BC41 knuckleduster with a belt sheath. I liked the idea so much that I just jumped on ahead without waiting for him to write back - which he didn't.
In any case, here's the proof-of-concept.
A few bugs surfaced. One, I made the pattern backward which means the leather is flesh-side out - more abrasion resistant but it doesn't look as cool in the molded-around-the-finger-loops department.

It also needs some sort of keeper system. If I jump aggressively with it on my belt, I can sometimes make it leap out. That could be really cool if the move could be incorporated into the heat of the moment. Of course, the leather turned other way 'round would also provide more friction to aid in retention.
Anyway, I'm broke and willing to let the whole shootin' match go for just the price of the duster.
The key is: Expedite! $40 in my Paypal account (dbrock76@yahoo.com) and it's yours.
Next up; multi-functionality.

Presenting my dagger/lug-wrench hybrid. Don't whine to me about lack of leverage or the likelihood of cutting all your fingers off while changing a tire. Ya just gotta man-up.
Okay, that's not fooling anybody.
I forged a dagger blade out of one arm of a four-way lug wrench. They tend to be made of surprisingly nice steel. I'd say in the neighborhood of 60 points of carbon - a nice range for a fighting knife. It's far less brittle than higher carbon but still holds an edge well.
Anyway, these chunks of steel in mid-transformation always intrigue me and I finally got to post a picture of one.
This blade is going to be the business end of a Mk1 1918 Trench Knife.
Warren, unlimber that checkbook.
This BUDK's for you.
