Back with a BK2 - looking for sheath mod ideas

[CShepherd]

Hello all. I’ve had a BK-16 for quite some time and it’s one of my favorite woods knives. Had a BK2 in the past and just didn’t appreciate it’s abilities so I sold it. I’ve missed it ever since so I found a deal on one and it arrived yesterday.

Looking for ideas to modify the existing BK2 sheath as funds are a bit tight now. I’m looking to stiffen up the belt loop so that the knife/sheath won’t just flop over horizontal if the snap is undone. I’m sure down the road I’ll upgrade the sheath but I want to focus on the knife first.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

I'm happy to make you a kydex sheath if you would like, no charge. Does yours have stock handles or micarta slabs?

Wow, that is very kind of you. It has the stock scales. I like them just fine once I texture them just a bit.

I too like the factory scales. The Ultramid material is nearly indestructible. GG&G out of Arizona stippled the scales for me when I ordered the knife attaching them with SS nuts and bolts for a $20 adder. The stippling affords good traction with no hot spots.

Did this knife ever get used?

The pic is dated 2015 when I first got it. And yes it’s been used

That’s sharp. I’ve always stippled mine with a wood burner. It works but isn’t nearly as pretty. That sheath is very sharp as well.

That sheath is very sharp as well.

From an eBay seller/maker somewhere in Mississippi. $20-30 IIRC

I probably got mine from the same seller. Very reasonable:

I looked it up, same guy.

Awesome looking scales!

Yeah...we Definitely Need to see the more current/used ones! Haha
You should know better....

BRab, very solid of you to make your kind offer to CShepard.
PM/DM me your email address as I would like to hire you to make a couple Kydex sheaths for me.

 

[CShepherd]

I’m excited, the sheath that BRab was so kind to make may arrive today. Can’t wait to throw it on the belt and put this beast to work.

Still have some modifications I want to do to the knife - stipple the handle, strip the finish on the blade portion, add a pot notch, and square part of the spine.

Really like those scales and sheath.

Where's the thread Derek did where he printed the sheath for the BK-2 with the box on the front... does anyone else remember that?
