Battle Mistress Sheath Rigs?

[aeinfantry]

I am currently in the process of obtaining my very first taste of the battle mistress bug (OD FFFBM with linen mags). It will be replacing my tried and true 12" Ontario machete as my bush clearing tool. The problem is, hold do I carry the darn thing?! I am pretty tall at 6'2 but I am not sure my thigh is long enough to comfortably hold it in a drop leg, and I don't want it dangling at my side. The movie geek in me wants a Paul Hoganesque rig. Show me your battle mistress or other large knife rigs! I need ideas people!!

Sorry, I should have specified that I am looking for a kydex sheath, or does kydex not work quite so well for knives that large?

 

[soup_monger]

It works fine... if you like kydex.

Okuden does good work.

I have my BM sheath on order with Dave Brown, makes them out of Kydex. Hopefully be here soon, I have another sheath he's done for my Howling Rat and it's very nice. His web site is:

I have a kydex sheath from okuden that is excellent. Brian is great to deal with:thumbup:

this particular model also came with a thumb snap and a leg strap

There is a significant difference between the Okuden and Brown models. Dave uses friction with the blade as the retention device while Brian holds onto the handle. Both have their pluses and minuses, so you just need to choose which method suits your needs.

I would have to give a +1 for Dave Brown.

Great friction retention sheaths.

how about in or attached to your ruck.

 

[WVHILLS]

Don't own any of the Brown sheaths but I've only heard good things

I have my CG FBM in an Okuden A7, very nice. :thumbup:

Okuden built me a drop sheath like the one above for my Dogfather. Very nice sheath.

Another Okuden A-7 owner here. The leg strap is removable. Brian's work is top notch! :thumbup:

Looks like I am going to go with something from OS Tactical. Mostly because not having to deal with customs is relief.
