I contacted Bryan a few weeks ago about sending my KAT and two CUB knives back for some work. I have used them to death and was looking for a lighter way to carry them and a minor change to the KAT knife specifically.
Originally, I had leather sheaths (from Bryan) and liked them mainly because the knives have convex edges. The leather sheath is a good way to give them a quick strop when I am out and about. I dont really care much for belt sheaths and usually opt for an over the shoulder or neck carry sheath, especially since I was going to kit out one or more of the sheaths. Also, the KAT knife had a nice round comfortable handle that was a joy to use, but I wanted a slimmer way of carrying it around in conjunction with a kit. I asked Bryan to reduce the green micarta scales so I can carry as a neck knife, but with more comfort than a cord wrapped knife. While they were in his custody I asked if he could put back that Breeden edge too. This is what I got today.
First, the original knives with their respective sheaths.
New and improved!
Three super slim kydex sheaths meant to be carried handle up to avoid loosing a knife if I attach a lanyard and it gets caught and dragged out of the sheath.
Sharpened edges
Even the cord wrapped knife has a kydex sheath that fits it well.
KAT scales thinned out for ultra compact carry and comfort.
