I'm constantly amazed at how our very own 710 can continue to make new, functional, personalized, and durable sheaths. I've said it before and I'll say it again, JD's innovative sheath making sets him apart from other makers. His creativity allows for the customer to recieve an individualized sheath that truly is a work of art. I'd like to share a few sheaths that he's made for me. Each different from one another and highly functional.
Here's a group shot of my BK24, Esee3 with TKC scales, BK17, and BK16 with custom 710 scales:
Here is the BK24 sheath set up for crossdraw. It fits great on my belt and love the prevelant skull and crossbones logo:
Here's a sheath he just made for my Esee3 with TKC scales. The leather belt loop can be removed and can then be carried crossdraw:
This BK17 setup has a Kydex belt loop. I've used Kydex belt loops in the past and wasn't too crazy about them because I felt the knife stuck out from my hip and made for stiff carry.
JD angles his Kydex belt loops. This small detail has changed the way I look at Kydex belt loops. It allows the knife to ride more snug to my hip and leg and feels very comfortable. The sheath itself has a very slim profile and is a pleasure to wear.
This BK16 sheath is my favorite 710 creation. The dangler can be removed so that you can carry it on the leather belt loop. And the leather belt loop can be removed to carry crossdraw. JD also made the scales. They have an awesome 3D effect when the light hits them.
Something else to note: when the sheaths are setup for crossdraw, they can also attach to a pack very easily and securely. All the hardware is durable and these sheaths are built to last.
If you're in the market for a good sheath, I'd suggest 710.
He'll take the time to make sure you get just what you want.
He's a great guy who makes a great product!
