Very nice knife.... the mesquite is warm and figured.

Nicely shaped and proportioned. I like the interesting Damascus pattern. It really fits the blade design. Pretty wood too. The sheath looks good from what I can see, but it seems to be hiding. What are all those features I see?

This is a prototype sheath, I have some refinements in mind. These pics will give some idea of various carry modes / configurations.

The knife looks awesome :thumbsup: and I may have to steal that sheath idea. ;)
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
great looking nessy, but your last model was slightly better looking
Thanks gents ! Apparently my first models lack of attire was disagreeable to some. No big deal.
I'm liking this sheath a lot. The finger nuts are a far more positive fastener then snaps (plus they are quite). The stainless screws are trapped, allowing for one handed operation.
Awesome looking setup . The wood on the handle looks really good.
Thanks chall, and, welcome to tradgang.
A delightful looking knife and Ive grown fond of the previous model. :mad: Ive seen that style of sheath before and wondered what the hardware was for. Ive been waiting on one of your Cody knives to pop up. Really was cool looking piece of steel.
