    I think Izzy's and squirrels go together pretty well. IMG_2024.JPG

    Sorry for the delayed response. I have been off the forum for most of the last week until today.

    The sheath is from a forum member named Chad Johnston. Here is a link to his website:

    http://www.johnstongunleather.com/

    I own his wallets, knife sheaths, and pistol holsters. Needless to say I am certainly endorsing his work because I continue to buy his stuff. Regarding the fit, this sheath is made for the Izula and the II. Both fit equally well. I like a looser retention for a pocket carry sheath, which this is. There is no belt loop on the backside, pocket or pouch carry only on this model. If I wanted a tighter fit I would wet form it.

    Here is another one of his sheaths in alligator.

    The alligator has a slightly tighter retention. I'd like to be able to pull it out without pulling the sheath with it. But that is a very fine line, especially with leather. As it becomes more broken in it may (or may not) become more retentive. Do note how much thinner the the alligator construction is in a similar design.

    The spine side in comparison.

    My RegaliaJoe sheaths arrived for my Izulas yesterday. These have outstanding retention if that is what your needs are. Here is the black one with my Izzy.

    I got one in green and one in black. In the above photo I've added a Blade-Tech molle clip. I like these things for smaller knives and sheaths. This one below has an Izzy II sheathed in it.

    As always, Joe's work is outstanding, great service and communication.

    The latest iteration of Izula #2619. When i bought it the serial number and 'USA' had rusted out. First sanded back the rusty bits and stripped only the blade, but the coating kept flaking away from the handle where i had fixed it up, so i removed it all together. Nice light etch kept the RC logo nice and crisp, and bit of vinegar patina on the blade only to darken it up a bit. Think i'm finally happy with how it looks now :)
