...Again.

Every square inch has something interesting and diverse.

(And pictures that are making me cry in delight and pain. Damn. )

Thanks!

This is my favorite blade style on your Bush knives. Very nice.

 

[Tai Goo]

very cool how well does the sheath hold the blade does it chatter or move around in it. Very nice work on everything , thanks

 

[Tai Goo]

JP,

Thanks.

It holds it very snug with a friction fit from the bridge which works in conjunction with the distal taper of the blade. No chattering or moving around,... won't fall out upside down if seated properly either.

The really nice things about the open faced hikot type scabbards are that they drain water, are easy to clean out, and show the blade.

 

[Kevin Jones]

Both very interesting and cool.

very cool and I like the way it looks. thanks for the answer. If you took off straps could you carry it sash style. It looks like the wood retaining part would act like a frog

Very nice!

JP, the neck strap is removable (and adjustable), so you may carry it by the belt loop instead. I prefer it on the neck strap though.

Another nice thing is that you can use the individual strands of the strap (or the whole strap) for other things by pulling them out, if you are in the bush and in a pinch... or in a survival situation. There are 9 strands in the neck strap about 9 feet long each...
