Medium Zermatt sheath for Farmer?

[leghog]

That looks a lot like El Paso Saddlery's work?

It isn't. I'd say who but don't believe the maker/seller is a BF dealer.

I saw a similar thread on another forum and the fellow glued a piece of foam inside to snug up the fit on his ALOX knife. I like those Zermatts for Swiss Champs, Champions etc but never tried one for Farmers since I use necker sheaths.

Necker sheaths?
Please explain, and post a pic or two if you do not mind.

Available intermittently on the bay...I have about 10 or so now...these are my EDC ones. When I gift an ALOX to family, a necker goes with it.

The newer ones are more rounded. Here are my others that get paired with a Pioneer/Farmer/Soldier and get stowed in my emergency bags.

I've wanted one of those cool neck sheaths for awhile , so I contacted the guy on the Bay a couple of weeks ago after seeing your ones SAK Guy . He said he is going to do another run of SAK sheaths soon and will let me know before he posts them up for sale .
He seems like a good guy on the brief messages we have exchanged .
I notice that in your pic above some are longer than others , is that the different models of knife ?

On the subject of putting foam inside the Zermatt sheaths .
I personally wouldn't use foam for a number of reasons , use leather .

He is a great guy!

That's a mixed bag of Pioneer/Farmer sized ones over about a 3 year span so I believe he was perfecting/refining the design. They all work great!

Glad he's doing another run, I need some more. :thumbup:

Awesome, thanks for the info and pics!
I hope that you will indulge another question...
Do they stay in place merely by friction, or is there some other means to secure them?

 

[SAK Guy]

They are precision molded to fit by friction...the fit is REALLY tight. No worries about ever losing your knife! :thumbup:

 

[Alnamvet68]

What about finish wear on the knife?

 

[SAK Guy]

I can't tell any but then mine already have a few miles on them. They do still appear uniform in appearance, i.e. no additional wear on the scales in the contact areas.
