Bark River PSK sheath

Vance, I like the new style Sharpshooter sheath on the Classic Lite Hunter you have.Have the same one myself on Nat Canvas with green liner,tight sheath nice and compact.
 
How do do you guys like the leather sheath for the bravo 1? I'm either gonna get one or have one made. Maybe make one myself.
 
I don't have my PSK anymore:grumpy: I carried it in my front pocket with the factory Kydex and a key chain that I adapted. It really work out great and I carry my Mikro2 now the same way.

The key chain snaps around the belt and holds the knife vertical in my front pocket. It allows me to draw the knife and thumb off the Kydex sheath with one hand, and secures the sheath until I'm ready to resheath the knife and put it back in my pocket.

I love the leather for my bravo1, very well made. As far as my psk goes, Vance was nice enough to send me the sharpshooter kydex that I wanted for it. So I am gonna pay it forward and offer up my leather EDC sheath like is pictured in vances pic for the PSK. It is brown leather w/ the slot for a firesteel. Just PM me your address, and it is yours. Please, dont take it if you have one or wont use it, lets let someone who will use it take it....
 
Thanks J... my son love the North star but holding it in my hands the handle feels small,so I opted for the Bravo-1 and Love it.. i am still looking for a matching firesteel and Mikro2 in green micarta as well....the mikro is a excellent knife for the tackle box.
 
I am liking the mini canadian right now. I will have to get one of those. Id like a matching firesteel too.
 
mini canadian was my EDC until i got my PSK & sharpshooter sheath

that's how those barkies are.... you gotta watch out.. when i first got into them, i started out real heavy, getting a bunch at once... i have long since tapered off... i have also parted with a few that weren't getting to much love...:o i think i still have 5 or 6 and a mini-axe.....they're great knives.. i haven't seen one that i didn't like/want....:D
 
I think I might know a little bit about Bark River Sheaths.

The PSK has been through several sheaths through the production runs. The original sheath design was intended to be as compact as possible so the knife could be carried in a Personal Survival Kit, hence the name. All of them were orange; handles and sheath.

The sheath was designed to hold onto the blade, a departure from the norm where the blade "floats" in the sheath. This was done to keep the sheath as small as possible.

The notch on the side of the sheath is there to provide a location for a fishline and paracord wrapping on the sheath. I have one setup like that in my sample cabinet so I can provide a picture if anyone is interested.

When the second run of PSKs was done, we changed the sheath to a slightly more conventional kydex design but none of us was really happy with the resulting sheath so we went back to a slight modification of the original design.

All of the Official Bark River leather sheaths are designed to piggyback giving you a great deal of latitude in choosing your optimal knife package.

We're revamping the sheaths as they come up for production, changing what needs to be changed to assure that the sheath shipped with a Bark River knife deserves to be in the box.

The Kydex sheaths are made with the same eye toward quality. Feelings toward Kydex generally run pretty deep, people love it or they hate it. I'm not entitled to an opinion on the subject, we just build the best sheath we can, regardless the material.
 
very cool reid...:thumbup: thanks for the info... i love that PSK sheath.. it's such a cool idea...
