Mule Sheaths and comparison picture

I was wondering what options for Mule sheaths there are out there. On a search I keep finding stuff from 2011 and 2012 referring to some companies/people that may/may still be doing sheath work. Does anyone know of any more current info? I was also told by someone a while back that some of the KSF sheaths (like the adirondack) might fight a Mule. Does anyone know about this?

Also, I was wondering if anyone had a picture of a Mule next to a Para 2 or Becker Bk14/24 that I could use for size comparison?

Thanks for your help!
 
Sorry for the crappy pics (I took them with my phone a while ago for a size comparison with a Caly 3.5, but I included a Vallotton and a Military for size comparison then), can't help you for sheaths...a friend of the original owner of my Mule made the sheath (I think I'm the 3rd owner, maybe 4th, but pretty sure I'm the third)...the original owner also did the slight vinegar patina.



 
The BHK #17 sheath works great for my mule, it almost snaps into it like kydex. Sits a little deep, but I think it's a great option for the mule.
 
Awesome! Thanks for the help you two. Now that I have an option for leather, does anyone have any suggestions for a kydex sheath maker that might work?
 
I've had custom handle scales and a custom sheath made for my Swick3 by Eric...he goes by ShepardCC on this forum and has his own thread in the custom work section of the knife exchange. He's quite busy (For good reason) and has a fairly long wait time, but he does a spectacular job and it's well worth waiting for if you have the time to wait a little while. He'll make you a Kydex sheath in any style you want.


 
I've been going with 7" by 2.75" leather pouch sheathes on mine. I pick another one up whenever I run across something about the right size, and then I wet form them to fit.
I have quite a few pouch sheathes that were bought on impulse. They keep the collection from banging into each other and getting dinged in the knife box.
Edit: No, none of them have rusted from being stored in leather...
 
Thanks for the thread jtoler. That Swick looks awesome Rigger! And thanks for the measurements Fancier.
I will definitely look into these now that I have some options.
