AK-47 Sheaths

Orion · Feb 10, 2007

At Blade last year I looked at two sheaths for the AK-47 that were at the Busse booth, one I think by Okuden and the other a Buy Brown sheath.
I am in the market for a sheath for mine and was wondering if anyone here had either of these, what you think about it and what are the differences between the two. Also what are the prices like, wait time and do Okuden and Buy Brown have AK-47s in stock that they can make sheaths from or would I have to send mine in?
Also pics of both would be nice if anyone has them. I did a search and found a pic of the Okuden sheath but can't seem to find a pic of a Buy Brown AK-47 sheath.

If I recall correctly, one of the sheaths I looked at was urban camo kydex... I could just be losing my mind, though, and dreamed that....

Thanks-
Cam

Both have the pattern so you don't have to send it in. I have an Okuden. It cost about $150. The reason I got it was that he puts strap slots on both sides of the sheath that would make it easy to lash it to a pack or something. It took months to get made, but I believe his wait time will be decreasing soon.

Not exactly a sheath picture per se but that is an OD green AK-47 sheath (Buy Brown) at the top of this shot.

It works great for me.

Thanks guys!!!
What was the price on the Buy Brown and the wait time?
I am attracted to the lashing slots on the Okuden. What colors does he offer?
Are either made so that a tec-lock can be attached?

Thanks!!

i have both, brown will get to you faster at this time.

Is there a place on the Brown for a tec-lok?

Thanks!

yes, he will install one for you or make sure the holes are there/

BB (David Brown) makes 2 styles, a "taco" with rivets down one side and a pancake with the rivets down both sides.

both accept a tec-lock, the double rivets give you more options for placement or lashing.

I think Buy Brown will also cut Slots if you want them.

The Four AK Sheaths I got From Buy Brown all came with Tec-locks installed.

Not knowing exactly how I will end up Carrying I did not have any slots cut.

I have a Dremel tool and can cut slots to suit myself if I decide I want them.

There is a Row of eyelets running the length of each side of the sheath and it would be easy to lash to pretty much anything using 550 cord.

Two of the Sheaths I recieved were a little tighter than I like so I Relaxed them a little with a Heat gun.

I currently have three More AK Sheaths on order with Buy Brown.

Making a total of 2 Black,3 brown and 2 Grey, 7 in all so I would have to say I like them pretty well.
