So my very first Becker was a BK9, which I got off the exchange and it was minus a sheath. After keeping it in a crude cardboard wrap for too long, I felt it unworthy of such mean estate; doubly true ever since I got my beautiful Tommythewho ironwood scales for it.
So, after shopping around I finally decided on The 710 Custom Sheaths as the source of my BK9's new home; After hand-choosing all the options I could ever want (too many it started to overwhelm me and I had to take a couple days to process what I really was looking for in a sheath), I paid for it on the 12th. After what seemed like a relatively short wait for a fully customized sheath, I got a shipping notice on the 28th and just got it in the mail today.
Wow is all I can say; the Kryptek Highlander color I chose is both brilliantly complex and yet very subtle, it goes very well with the colors of the woods around the PNW, and also goes flawlessly with the ironwood scales on my BK9. The finish is fantastic: very smooth, straight seams with flawless riveting; the feel of the outside is refreshingly smooth with just a hint of texture, giving it a feel that wouldn't irritate the skin on prolonged contact. The leatherwork is very well done, rigidly secure to the sheath and the perfect snaps on the dangler to make it easy to take off the belt while feeling very secure when riding on it. Finally, the knife fits perfectly into the sheath. The retention is very solid while the knife can be removed without too much struggle; every piece of the sheath is fitted perfectly to the knife for the right amount of security while not getting in the way of removal.
I can say this is the best sheath I've ever owned, I have nothing but praise for The 710 and the magnificent work he did on this sheath. Now for my crappy pictures (they don't do it justice)
