Hello HI family! :)

I sent my khuk off to fellow BF member Leatherface of Azrael's Custom Leather a while ago for a kydex sheath. I decided to get a simple kydex quickdraw sheath that will primarily be put in my pack or lashed to my pack, but with a belt loop for the option of belt-carry since this is one of HI's smaller khuks. Leatherface did a great job on it! :thumbup: It's a simple basic kydex sheath that should serve me well for a while to come. So to delay no further, here are some pics for you to check out for yourself!

The fit of this sheath is a bit tight, but it's fine as I don't intend to belt carry it very often if at all. If I do feel like I need to carry it on my person for some reason down the line, I think I'll go have a thigh rig made up for it. As for this sheath, I'd rather the retention be on the tight end for added safety.

The finish of this sheath is good :thumbup: The kydex is nice and thick at .093" (correct me if I'm wrong Dave) and feels sturdy. The quickdraw design works well, though as I pointed out already, the sheath is on the tight side (You can ask him to make it tighter or looser if you want :thumbup:). I like that the belt loop is wide, it keeps the khuk stable if you put it on a belt. This loop accommodates a belt 1 7/8" wide. All in all, it seems to be a well designed and well constructed kydex khukuri sheath and I am very pleased with it :) I can't wait to take my khuk out in its new pants! :D

Very nice. I would have to say "elegant in its simplicity."
And the highest compliment of all.....I want one.
