@CTL who the fuck is autistic enough to use screen names in real life?

@Alex Glitch where those straps laser cut?

Yep

Cool, what machine you use?

A chinesium one that I have a contact with

damn you're a skeleton

It’s industrial grade, but still chinesium. Good enough to work tho

The leather is falling apart after day 1 of field use tho

Good experiments but very shit materials overall

Do you do more than leather stuff?

Well im trying to source some sort of pvc instead

Ah so it's mainly thicker stuff or can you other sorts of material?

leather is based

That reminds me, has anyone checked out that whole shivworks clinch pick setup?

The knife itself seems too niche to be a useful carry tool but the sheath placement seems super big brain for a small fixed blade

Thinking about making one up for my izula when it arrives

Results after 1 day of “field” use

Overall leather aint gonna cut it because too soft

Or cheap leather

I mean that doesnt really look ideal

whats wrong with just using a synthetic material thats gonna be more weather resistant and less prone to stretching

Well that’s for the next batch

Pvc based fabric, pretty tough from what I’ve been checking

And at least those were the good leather

These are the really bad ones

One stretch and they goes rip

Basically im at the “use whatever available at the workshop” phase which includes leather and some piss cheap fabrics

Next phase is “source some actually quality stuffs” but that’ll be monday

so whats the purpose of this whole experiment?

just making WTFix straps just because?

Yeah

I need something to do while im on vacation that doesnt involve me doing errands for my parents

Meanwhile, family reunion time

*featuring an actual trench used by VCs*

Neat

grab a type56 and run into the jungle

Oh no @Cataclysmo got another one here, the punjis won't stop trapping
