John. I was wondering if you can make a kydex sheath for the Vic Farmer. It would be neat to have a clip like the folders have but a belt loop would do.

I think there would be a market if the price was right. I would be interested in one with holes that would allow it to be piggy-backed to another sheath.
 
I made one like you are talking about for the Farmer and Mora 510 out of leather but It was a pain. I think some piggy back kydex for different combos would do well. Like for my Hiker and Hiker backup. I think a lot of guys carry the Farmer. Kydex sheaths should attach pretty easy to another sheath.
 
Mmmm...I have a Farmer.....I have my grinding done for the week.....it`s pouring rain, so I can`t heat treat.....to the basement :thumbup:
 
Can't wait to see it. Sounds like we might get another foot of snow or more starting tomorrow.:mad:
 
Here you go.

This one could be piggybacked, but I think the best way is to make a combo sheath

I like the last one best. The smaller size would be important to me.

It's cool how you can just whip these up in such a short amount of time. The folks who created kydex should be cannonized by knifemakers and users.
 
John I will speak for all the lefties out here. You just answered a big question I've had.
Can I get a left handed sheath for my knife? In the past when I had money I would pass on knives if the sheath wasn't ambi. Unless I really wanted the knife, then I would suffer with it.
Now I see that I can get a sheath made fairly quickly. Excellent!

BTW, remember that there are a lot of lefties out here when making a sheath for a knife that you will post for sale. We may not buy if it has a wrong handed sheath. (I say this more for other makers who may read this. If you make a beautiful right handed sheath, you eliminate a significant group of potential buyers).

Statistically there are only 7-10% of lefty freaks out there so I'm not sure Significant is the right word :D :D

Still, even us normal righty (we even have right in our description) like a weak side (:p) carry on occasion :thumbup::thumbup:

BTW John - those kydex sheaths look really top notch!

I never make a sheath untill the knife sells, then, unless it`s a neck knife, I always ask if right or left. That drop point I sold a while back went out with a lefty. As a matter of fact, I will be making another Scout Jr. for another trainer, who asked for both a right and left handed sheath. That way he will have multiple carry options.

actually, in statistics, the standard level of significance for most parameters is Alpha=.05. so, given the p-value of approximatly .07-.1, one may infer that the proportion of lefties is statistically significant, assuming the spread has a normal distribution, is a simple random sample and assuming that np > 10 and n91-p0>10. :D :D
 
I need one of each. If it fits the Standard issue Wenger then I will need another.:thumbup:

I would like to have a combo for the Lapland saw and the farmer.

I don't know why this picture showed up. Sometimes I don't understand these things.

It would be loose on the Wenger SI, but I just so happen to have one of those on hand too so I could make one up :D
 
I need one for my Buck 442C really bad. I lost the pocket clip. Do you need the knife? I still didn't get the other blade mailed so I could throw that in too. We are having a raging, all out ND blizzard today. Hope it don't get to you again. Heavy snow and 50 MPH wind.
 
While we're all playing, could something like this be made for a Bic lighter? Neck knife style with the two eyelets at the base? About how much would you charge?

Even better idea. Could a Combo neck sheath be made for the for the new bigger tin knife also have a mini bic lighter sheath? That would be ultimate. I'm excited just thinking about it.
