Hi all,
I just bought a new BK16, and I'm really happy with the knife. I'm less happy with the coating, but I can deal with it. I like the sheath, but the only time I'd really use it is in the woods. The sheath is bigger than I'd be comfortable wearing anywhere else. I know there are tons of replacement sheath options, but I thought I'd share one for those of us on a budget. My BK16 is parked happily in a Buck Ergohunter leather sheath. You can see the sheath at - http://www.buckknives.com/index.cfm?event=product.detail&productID=3876 . The picture really doesn't do the sheath justice. You can buy the sheath elsewhere for less than $20. It's really a nice sheath, and the BK16 fits great. I modified the sheath a bit by moving the male portion of the snap on the handle strap to tighten up the fit, but that's your choice. I have a firesteel stuffed into the outside pocket where the skinner is pictured. My steel is connected to the sparker with a cord loop, and I put the strap through that loop just in case the steel falls out of the sheath. I'd post a pic, but I'm one of those non-paying members.
 
You can still post a pic. Just host it on a 3ed party site like imgur.com and link it into the thread! I'd love to see a pic of that personally! Sounds awesome.
 
Hmmmmmm, I can't get that image url to show up.

Got another, maybe just post the link to your album.

Sorry. I changed the link. Let me know if it still doesn't work. Maybe I should cough up the dough to be a paid member...
 
That looks great!

You mind giving us a picture of what you are talking about with this part? I'm not quite sure what strap/piece/etc you are talking about.
 
The retention strap around the handle. The Ergohunter must have a fatter handle. I removed the bottom of the snap and put a new one in so it would be a tighter fit when snapped closed. The BK16 fits snug, so I'm not sure you'd need to do it, but I also use this sheath for an Entrek Javalina, and the handle on that is smaller than the BK.
 
Here you go...

You need to put the image for the URL itself into image tags.

A beginning image tag looks like this:


Then when you stick this url: http://i.imgur.com/TqYls.jpg

In between those with no spaces, you get this:

Those are nice sheaths (factory wise) my brother has a very similar one on his new Buck Ergo.
 
That's a great idea! Buck will happily sell you the sheath for $25 from their factory store. I couldn't find any listings for it on The Auction Site That Shall Not Be Named but KnifeCenter.com is selling it for $16.95. A pretty good deal.
 
I think OP can not post attachments simply because he's not a paid member like I do.

Unpaid members cannot post attachments, but posting pics via the method I did is not posting an attachment, and is doable by any member, paid or unpaid.
