Nice job-- if you are concerned about the blade rusting, use heavy leather for the side next to you leg and lighter leather on top-- this will be less bulky. You can also treat the back of the sheath with silicone or a good wax to help prevent the transfer of moisture through the leather. Best of all is to wax the blade, and remove it from the scabbard the minute you take off your hose. Rinse the blade and dry it off after wearing your sgian and rust problems should be kept to a minimum. Finally, avoid putting the blade into a damp sheath-- always have a spare that is dry. This is especially useful if you are attending two-day events in the hot and humid regions.
