I was inspired by David Browns Original exposed spine sheaths and decided to try one one in leather to see what the fuss was all about. I actually took some time today and made myself a sheath.

Its really a pretty neat design. I like it. The date is wrong on the pics, I forgot to reset it.

Dang Chuddy... Just when I think your work couldn't get any better... It does! Very nice...
 
Good work man. Clean and simple. I like it very much. I actually made one where I used the talon to secure the knife. You used the choil. Very cool; congratulations on a fine job.
 
Cool design. I like it. You'll never have to worry about cutting the retention strap on the draw with that style.

Dave tells me the exposed spine has been around for years.

Correct! I cant remember his name but a fellow that made custom scabbards for Khuk's way back made them all with an exposed spine. They were wood with a leather casing. Really nice stuff. He called his business the Sarki Shop.

He had been making them for quite a while before I came on here in '01, but he stopped, and has been out for quite a while. Those sheaths have become real collectors items.

I do remember him saying that it was an old design.


I really like your interpretation Chuddy! Nice stuff. :)

When I did my first "spineless sheath" way back I remember it drove me nuts getting it to secure properly. Khuks are a natural for that style but straight spine knives are a bit more complicated.
 
I really like this style,nice to see some steel exposed,sexy.
Do you think it could collect more dirt,junk by beeing so open?

I like it! It just so happens that I will have a Regulator Bowie next week in need of some trousers.
 
This design should work excellently for a Khukri or something like a Randall-Made Sasquatch. Would you like to make one for mine? The blade isn't heat treated yet, but this could be ready by New Years to be sent to you for a sheath.---Joe
