Anyone sell leather sheaths for the Utility Fighter?
Can’t wait for the UF2 sheath!beginning the design for UF2. The dagger pattern is complete, leather is roughly cut to size and now that almost all the knives in my first clump are finished or nearly there, I'll start building the run of dagger sheaths tonight. I'll be working on the UF2 sheath pattern concurrently, because making 12 exactly the same sheaths can get a little boring and developing and building a pattern is a good distraction

Nice sheath for the UF2, Bill.
Chad asked me to try out a prototype dagger sheath he made. It has a rubber like material over the leather to help prevent movement, and an extension to help with positioning, and keep it close to the body. The knife rides a little deeper than his original dagger sheath, but I can still get a pretty good three finger grip on the handle. It arrived with nice a pull the dot strap, but it was riding a little too high for me so I tried a couple of DCC clips I had available. The small behind the belt clip worked pretty well, and the sheath rode lower with the opening right at the belt line. Unfortunately it swivels a bit, and took some of the rubber like coating off. The other DCC clip is 1.75” and can be place on the belt. I like to carry it at 3 o clock, and draw using a reverse or ice pick grip. Overall I dig this new dagger sheath. Chad might be making some tweaks to it. He might have a version of it available at Blade.
