Carrying My Arkansas Hunter

[texbaz]

I have really enjoyed, carrying the Tony Bose/Case Arkansas Hunter. At 4.5 inches closed it takes up quite a bit of real estate, while it is quite slim and fills my back pocket, it can get smacked around a little. So, I contacted Rick Garcia, His work seemed to fill the need I had in mind. No Goochy, ubber gaudy, bling bling, purse. just a nice belt style pouch with a flap, with a Texas concho (well maybe a Little Bing Bling ).

I was Out of town for a week and got a great surprise when I got home yesterday. Check it out. I'll wear it today give it a thorough ops check.

Instead of sending the knife I made a wooden template which was close enough for an excellant fit.

Nice sheath and knife!
Template's kinda cool too! You could rent it out for fitting sheaths!

Great idea on the Wooden template. And a VERy Servicable looking Sheath. Like you, I prefer a Soupcon of Bling also.

That's some sweet leather. It'll serve you well. :thumbup:

Nice template Texbaz. On first glance, I thought you had another knife! Great sheath and knife too.

Nice Sheath, deserves the Lone star. Great idea and job on the template.....

Very nice leather sheath. The template is a cool idea also. Great combo.

Very nice, it can be tough to find comfortable ways to carry the larger folders. I use sheaths from a couple of different makers...nice to find another leather worker willing to take on custom jobs.I am going to need something done for my new Coats, one of the sheaths I already use fits it fine but I would prefer more of the length of the knife in the sheath...the Coats is rather long at almost 5 inches.

Very nice. I especially love that lone star.

That's a great lookin combo there! Congratulations! :thumbup::thumbup:

Nice idea on the template. I hate sending knives off to have them fitted for a sheath. Not so much for fear of losing them as it is separation anxiety!

Thats a very nice looking setup. Looks like he did a great job on the sheath

sweeet combo,,

That is a very nice sheath and knife combination.

No way can that sheath be called a knife purse.


I am not sure that it is legal for carry outside of Texas, what with that Lone Star and all.

If it's on the belt, it passes the girlie test. No waiver required.

:thumbup: and there ya have it. .

Really nice work. The AK hunter is a little to large for pocket carry for me so I think that sheath does the trick.

/* sigh of relief */

I sure don't want to hear Tony saying "girly" every time I pull my (his) Wharncliffe Trapper out of Gary Graley's sheath .....

This will help most of us sleep a little better at night.

Nice belt sheath for a super production knife. :thumbup:

Tony, would that apply to a pink velvet on-the-belt sheath? I know Vince and Charlie each have one of those...

Nice knife and sheath. Looks like all the knife a guy would ever need.
