How do you carry your GEC #23 pioneer?

[Foilist]

I got a GEC #23 in carved pumpkin bone last winter in a swap here. It is a cool knife, but a 4.5" long brick. How do you carry big folders like this? Where can I get a nice pouch for it?

I like the sheath off a Gerber multitool. Fits perfectly.

Folding Hunter (Case, etc.) sheaths seem to fit the two blade model well.

I like to carry mine alongside my wallet when wearing jeans. The only time I notice it is when I take my wallet out, it falls over. Other than that it just stands up beside it, real easy to get at.

I carry mine in a jacket pocket in the winter, or in a horizontal Boker belt pouch (I think it was made for their Speedlock and Toplock knives, fits the GEC like a glove).

Can anyone point me to a source for these sheaths that fit the #23?

Exactly the way I carry mine.

JRE Industries makes some nice belt sheaths and pocket slip pouches for the GECs. I have a couple of the pocket slip pouches and they are very well done.

The buckaroo pouch is a great way to go - I have one for my #73 and it is the perfect way to carry one - but if you want one for a #23, you'll want to make sure he knows it is for a larger knife. The standard buckaroo pouch fits a mid-size stockman or similar knife.

I have a Queen Mountain Man that is just about the exact same size. I found that the large version of this sheath from A. G. Russell works very nicely:

Email or PM me your address and I will send you a folding hunter sheath of some kind if you decide on something a little simpler than these fancy ones listed above...

That's the way to do it.

That's the way to do it.

That doesn't work for me because I carry my wallet on the left and like my knife on the right.

I do have a pair of jeans with a freakishly deep watch pocket that can contain it; I ought to find a few more pairs!

D.M.Bullard makes some very nice belt pouches. He makes both vertical and horizontal in a couple different sizes, the large should work well for the knife in question.

I have the Bullard and it's about as nice as you'll see, IMO.

I also have a Moore Maker X-Large pouch sheath that will fit it and it's very nice. Here's a link:
