Man, this is the coolest mora setup I've ever seen. It looks amazing. I'm inspired. The kydex and colors looks great.

I don't know, I am not knowledgeable about this. I thought the characteristic feature of the yakut knife was its one side of the blade has a fuller, that is a groove in it and a chisel grind, and the other side a convex edge. Just like this:

Of course it is ......When I make mine knife I have no tool to grind fuller .Knife was grind from hardened file ....Then , somehow I make small fuller in chisel side .as you call it . We have gone way off topic

The one sided grind is sort of an artifact from the past. The original yakut knives were made from bone, not steel. The shape is intended to look like a large bone cut lengthwise, with one side rounded or convexed (outside of the bone) and the other side concave to look like the inside hollow part where the marrow is.

Very interesting, is this a fact or a story? Are there archaeological findings about this?

I can’t link to forum but there are a number of kydex benders here on BF that could easily make one for you. If you just absolutely have to have the maker of this particular sheath, send me a PM.

Currently around -35 F. in Alberta (even colder in the far north), plus a savage wind chill. Haven't seen any mule deer in about a week, which is unusual as they often stroll through our neighborhood; they're not straying far from their cozy snowbank beds. As far as a winter survival tool, I'd choose my Snow & Neally 3/4 Hudson Bay single bit ax.

Ooh, crispy! We had same numbers here few weeks back and today was -25c and it still feels like your face is about to fall off.
I don't think the tang issue is really an issue since in actually cold weather you HAVE TO use gloves. When the temperature is -35c it actually hurts to grab door handles like it was burning.

I'd put axe, saw and shovel to your trunk instead of overthinking the knife.
For knives I'd just have something simple with rubber handle like Sissipuukko. It doesn't have any screws or tiffany silver pendants that fall off when you are questioning your ancestors why the f did they move here?
