BK-2 Pancake Sheath - Winner announced, Thank god

[thrillbilly]

you curved the stitches on the firesteel pouch so it wont go all the way in and get lost! because the sheath is way longer then the 11 sheath!

 

[nick425]

Yeah it's one single thread.

It's like when my wife crochets and says "I screwed this up so bad, can't you see?!?!?!" No...not at all!

Stitching doesn't go to the top, so there's more forgiveness on the angle the knife's inserted?

 

[The Warrior]

I can hear the music, haha.

 

[cautioning]

1 - Single stitched
2 - You are awesome!
3 - I'm ineligible without pics 8(

 

[MikeyJ]

Is the angle designed to be more comfortable while sitting?

 

[The Warrior]

I think I know what it is, just not why it is.

 

[rustyshackelford]

The stitching angles up at the tip of the blade to allow the blade a small amount of upward movement.

 

[Skystorm]

People are veeeeeeeeeeeery close. The why might take a little thinking though but you guys are pretty toasty.

 

[Bladite]

lots of very pretty and nice works here

might have to take a ponder :>

 

[The Warrior]

The stitching at the bottom curves in, away from the blade, so the firesteel insertion depth is limited.

 

[rustyshackelford]

The stitching curves up to accommodate the tweener that looks like the bk5? BK15?

 

[The Warrior]

There's a "notch" cut in the BK2 sheath, so when used in a cross draw manner, it won't interfere with your pockets.

 

[Skystorm]

No but you guys are pretty damn close with the stitching.

Has nothing to do with any other knife, since the Tweeners are not out it would have nothing to do with them. Unless someone wants to short loan me one for a couple days?

Firesteel pouch (not loop) built into sheath.

 

[The Warrior]

The BK2 sheath has one, uninterrupted, continuous stitch.

 

[Skystorm]

I'm getting a headache. You have the stitching part, now figure out the why

 

[thrillbilly]

on all the 11 sheaths the stitches between the firesteel and blade go all the way to the edge, on the BK2 sheath the stitches stop a lil further away from the edge. there also appears to be a bulge there....perhaps u put in a thumbrest there to push against when drawing the knife?

 

[Psyop]

A single stich with no seams makes it stronger for the extra weight.

 

[The Warrior]

The 2 sheath is saddle stitched by hand, in one continuous stitch, and not lock stitched, for added strength. If a stitch is cut, it will not come unravelled as fast.
