Thanks guys.
Bladepeek, the sheath is lined with thin black leather........no more exposed flesh side of the leather....... which can look pretty rough depending on the cut of hide and the quality.

Nice.  I like how the tooling on the sheath follows the twisted Ws pattern.  I've used thin soft black leather to line wooden boxes several times but it never occurred to me to line a sheath with it.  I was given an 8 ft bar of aluminum a while back and have used it for bolsters on several small knives but it scuffs too easily on the rough leather in the sheath.  This probably would have helped a lot.  I may try another one with aluminum bolsters just to see how this works.
