Kabar 1233 Skinner and a Kent Sportsman with their original sheath’s.

Those sheaths were made for Schrade by some outfit in southern California; I can't quite come up with the name, but I think they are extinct. The sheaths were notorious for problems with the snaps ripping out. Edit: referring to the Buffalo Bill knife.

US Army issue Wireman’s Tool Set, one TL 29, one small side cutter, and one leather tool pouch.

Don't really use a fixed blade much except during hunting season. Here are few of my favorites with their sheaths.

My 50 year old Buck 110 with it's original sheath. Had to be restitched and the snap wore out, replace with velcro.

Nice covey of blades, Dan-- I know where you got that second one from the top.

This one is not mine. Seller: "A vintage Finnish 'Lapinpuukko' puukko knife manufactured by an unknown maker in the 1960s Finnish Lapland. The reindeer horn handle is engraved with a wolf profile. The fullered Kauhava-style steel blade has no markings. The half-horn half-leather sheath is engraved with typical Sami sceneries and it comes with a leather belt strap. The reverse of the sheath is marked with the owner's name and dated 1964." Very interesting sheath and knife.

Twin set sheaths. The two on the right are factory, Buck and Case. The left one custom by MTL, a member here.

Here's a 1967 Buck 110 with its sheath. One of my younger brothers gave it to me almost 10 years ago. I think he bought it for hunting while we were in high school, but it spent most of its life in one of his tool boxes.

Alpaca here means nickel silver.

Funky but original and correct sheath for this Craftsman knife. So far no one seems to know who made the knife for them.

Cal, it looks so much like a guardless Schrade 165 that I figured Schrade made it.

That certainly is a strong contender.

Did you make that sheath for the 225Q? John

I did not. I had a display of my knives set up at a collector's show. A fellow came along with the 225Q, which he had cleaned up and made a sheath for, and offered it to me for $80.

Sounds like you got a good deal. John
