hello, i named them iwb edc - short for inside waist band every day carry. for years i have carried inside waistband, with kydex and leather. i came up with this sheath design a few months back, and it has worked very well. many times i forget if it is on me, and have to feel it with my hand to make sure it is there. i sold the black one last week and the customer agrees it seems to disappear, he forgets he is wearing it. i decided to incorporate it with this new blade i drew up. i wanted a loveless styled tapered tang, but with no guard to keep the price down so it will be in reach of a wider audience. i made 3 sizes, all scale models of each other. 3", 3 1/2", 4" blades. the 3 1/2" seems to be the sweet spot. they are all 1084 high carbon steel. the 4" was the prototype, has a single grind, scotchbrite finish, and pins instead of loveless bolts. i will be making a few in 154-cpm also. they will be available in single grind, double, or chute knife type grinds. this package hides very well under just a T shirt. the sheath has the loveless cam, it "pops" in and put of the sheath. the profile of the knife was based on the loveless new york special. the moon shaped finger curve works very will with the sheath cam idea. thank you for checking it out ! have a great day.

These all look fantastic, and I really dig the idea of that sheath, but the thought of the point of one of those blades aimed directly at my gentleman’s sausage is more than a touch disconcerting.

:eek:


:D


Great stuff, bud. At some point we’ll talk again, I know it. ;)

You have an alarming definition of 'gentleman' :eek:


Digging those knives quite a bit John! :thumbsup:
 
Those look great.

With that sheath orientation it at times may appear you are "rising to the occasion" and should make the user very popular :D
 
Awesome knives and sheath system. I wish concealed carry of fixed blades was legal in California it is my preferred method for comfort and not disturbing the peace while out in public with a fixed blade on your person.
