Bull, you just can't trust them rascally little gremlins inside those magic boxes to leave anything alone.
Regardless, a real nice looking sheath for an impressive knife.  Well Done.

No I didn't make the belt.

The engraving is actually his totem. In our organization, totems are a representation of the individual. His mountain man name is Flaming Arrow.

that is a very cool sheath and knife, david.  :bl th up :bl th up

it's purty big image that was taken with a mobile device on the horizontal, so that's why it uploaded on its side.  need to be aware of that with image taking. 

that's a freakin Huge image and a ginormous waste of space and bandwith = 4655K in bytes and 4032 x 3024 pixels in size!

i took the liberty of downloading that image, resized it, then lowered its pixel count.  it's now 88K in bytes and 600 x 800 pixels in size. 

mo' bettah, no?

it pays to use an image fixer upper - AND saves a huge amount of bandwidth and server space!  how cool is that? :)

Rob, you or Bull might want to downsize the original photo - it's still "ginormous" and now we have two images sucking up bandwidth.  Just a thought....

Now is the picture in the original post a better size? I didn't have the capabilities of changing it on my phone at the time.

All is well, and the ginormous use of bandwidth has been slain!  Good job....
