You all are a tough crowd!

I posted an image of a BK 7 sheath, and the lack of response makes me think that it was not well liked.

So, that motivated me to try something a bit different for me, a fold-over.

What do you think?

Nice lines, good press. Is the top angle open or did you seal it? I have always admired your sheaths, very classy. Moose

Thank you for your kind words about my work!

I left the top angle by the handle open, to let the thumb ramp out. It also gives the action a bit more room, which is nice.

Best,
Marion

Spiffy stuff! What sort of attachment is on it? A belt loop? Do the holes accommodate tek-lok?

I took the picture without any attachments.

But, that line of 5 holes, which has sort of become my mark, allows for attachment of any of the standard loops and clips... BladeTech; Large Tek Lok, Small Tek Lok, Klip, Large Molle Lok, Small Molle Lok, and IWB Straps. The Spyderco G-clip will also fit.

I have avoided making my own clips and loops, as I am a stickler for elegant solutions, and I was not pleased with what I could imagine. But, I think I have figured a way to make them well, and I should be offering some soon. Probably about the time I unveil the new website.

Thank you for your kind words!

Best,
Marion
 
I feel you on making your own attachements. I am trying to design an H bracket know for those that want both Hori and Vert carry. Once again, very nice work. Moose
 
I think it looks great. I looked back to find your earlier post and I definitely prefer this sheath to the other two I saw.
 
I've just ordered the BK7 (shhh, I'm not suppose to buy anymore knives).. as soon as I get it, its mod time to the extreme.. I will strip the coating, remove the thumb ramp, decrease the thickness of the handles a touch and also dremel a design into them, and I'm undecided about a choil.. I wander if it would still work in your sheath with these mods???

Nice by the way, me likey.. how about a baby for the 13?? or is it worth it?? the 13 I mean.. I haven't got the knife yet so I'm not sure if that's really worth carrying.. If not I'd strap my Izula to your sheath..

As long as you don't modify the handle under the kydex, I can make one that works, without having to use your knife to make it. If you modify the handle under the kydex, I would need to have your knife to make the sheath.

I just re-discovered how to do skeleton handle knives, so I will be doing them for the 13. I like the US made 13, it is really keen.

Man!! where did you order that from? Moose
 
to be honest I don't remember the 'exact' company that's gonna ship, but I bought it off Amazon.... ($61shipped is why)

Never ordered a knife from them before and probably not again. I have plans for this.. although I think I'll hold off on the mods until I use it a bit..
