Any ideas where a fat ugly man like myself can get one without having his beautiful and usually understanding wife, cave his head in with his own knife? Although the thought of Mrs. BushOgre attacking me with a BK2 is kinda sexy.

If posting answers here is frowned upon, maybe emailing me would keep the frowns at bay. Maybe? DON'T FROWN AT ME, IT MAKES ME SAD AND NEED TO BUY KNIVES TO FEEL BETTER. :)
 
WildmanH here on the forum makes wicked ass leather. Top quality stuff. Please consider him for a leather sheath.
 
are you looking for a simple setup or do you want something like a hedgehog with lots of extras? There is one on the bay thats real simple and i saw one sell just yesterday that was "survival" setup with stone pouch, firesteel and striker, scout carry etc. If you want a custom there are some really awesome makers on here just ask in the "services requested" section of the exchange, if you want something now the bay isnt a bad place to look either
 
Moose, MyWifeThinksImCrazy, and Goose all do excellent work.
 
A while back I realized my Armourall Leather sheath for the ESEE 5 fit the BK2 very well. Not that it's a bad sheath, but I think I'd give Moose, MywifethinksI'mcrazy, or wildmanH, Goose a try. Something special made just for your knife, and something for your wife might be what you need. Get her something in leather, match her purse or shoes (black) and she won't mind you getting a sheath.

That knife beating might still happen if the Mrs. finds out you refer to her with anything with the word Ogre in it. Just messin big guy cuz it sounds like you can take it.
 
JRE industries also makes sheaths for the BK2. 80 bucks i believe. You also might try a local leather shop or saddle shop. I am certainly not trying to interfer with any forum members making and selling sheaths, just throwing options out there.
 
I've got sheaths by wildmanh and Moose, both are top notch. I strongly recommend either of them!!
In fact, wildmanh is finishing up one for my ESEE4 as we speak.

I purchased a sheath from JRE Industries...a custom for my BK7. Good work, but a 6 month wait. I'll refrain from telling you that I don't think it was worth the wait...

...ooops, I let that slip, didn't I? Originally I thought it was, until I've seen the quality that has been built in just a matter of a few weeks...ymmv
 
All the folks already mentioned do fine work. My first recommendation would be MyWifeThinksImCrazy for a couple of reasons. One, he's a Beckerhead, and two, his work looks to be superior in both form and function. And three, he's trying to break into the business and he's hungry. Prices and turnaround time are usually better when new business people are trying to build a customer base.

My other "first" recommendation would be Michael Volclae of Volclae Design. He can be reached by email here. He's not a Beckerhead, but he is a registered Maker here on BladeForums. He made my BK2 sheath:

The sheath is completely modular, convertible between left or right-hand carry, as well as standard vertical belt carry or scout (horizontal) carry. A real work of functional art.

I haven't seen Michael around on the forums much since he sold the bulk of his knife collection a few weeks ago. Michael lives in Joplin, MO and lost nearly everything in the massive tornado that tore through there recently. I can't say for sure what his capacity for sheath-making is as of now, but I know for sure that if he can make 'em, he would appreciate the business because he's got a lot of recoverin' to do, and it ain't gonna be cheap. He really needs the work if he can handle it, and I'm sure he'd be honest in letting you know whether or not he can. Good guy to work with, and he does dynamite work. If you like what you see, give him a shot. You can reach out from wherever you are and help in the Joplin recovery effort in a small way.

Thanks guys, but I think we need to figure out what kind of a sheath he wants before we go telling him who to get one from. I know between the three of us we all have different styles. So depending on what style you'd want is who you might want to go with.

Moose, Classic styling, simple and elegant.
Goose, Modular system with different attachments.
Me, I don't know someone else can explain me better than I can, I'm sure.
 
I have BK2 pouch sheaths from Wildmanh and Moose and highly recommend either and or.
The M1 from Moose is a beast!
Very solid work from these guys.
 
Sounds like there should be a sheath forum. :) I am working on a design but .now I know who to talk to. Thanks guys
