Looking for a knife (& sheath)

[Michael_Aos]

I've been taking my custom-handled Camillus ArcLite to the lake.

I _love_ it, but I have an idea that would make it _perfect_. I'd like to be able to carry it clipped inside my right-front pocket, like a folder, with just the handle sticking out. Some sort of boot-knife-like sheath, or actually if I could just figure out a way to attach a clip to the existing sheath, I'd be set. I'd like it to sit so all the kydex is inside my pocket, or maybe just 1/8" - 1/4" exposed.

Could anyone make me a sheath like that, or modify mine? Or if not for this knife, how about a Carson F4 (custom or CRKT), Pikuni (custom or production version OK), Dozier "Arkansas Toothpick" or anything similar in size. I'm after something fairly stainless, but need not (necessarily) be Talonite or "wonder steel".

Edit - Just looked at a Fallkniven WM1, Bill-Moran Featherweight, BM100 RR, etc. There are a TON of 3"-3.5" fixed-blades (custom & production), but I haven't seen one yet with a kydex sheath I can flip inside my pocket like a folder.

Mike,

This forum is really intended for the discussion of custom knives.

I'm going to move this to the general forum where you may get more exposure and replies to your query.

Hey Michael -- Have you seen the AG Russell "Woodswalker" or whatever? A little knife with either a leather or Kydex sheath. The leather sheath is designed to be worn in the right rear pocket of jeans, and assumably, the sheath stays put when you draw the knife.

I think Erik -- Normak -- can make about anything. I'd suggest you check out that sheath, if you're not familiar with it, and then talk to Eric about making a sheath that would stay in the pocket when you drew the knife -- I know you're talking about front pocket, so it would have to be different.

If you can get something worked out, I'd be awful careful re-inserting the knife into the sheath after use. Bad place to stick yourself.
