I'll second that! Great looking sheath also man!Lookin' great, brother. I'm sure it is a lot lighter than mine. Does it have an attachment for a leg strap?
We need action pics! Strap it onto a 22 yr old blonde and take out the camera!
After a address debacle I wont go into, the mailman saved himself a beatdown and I got my sheath today!
Awwww Mannn!! This thing is baddass! It's BETTER than I thought! The "spring loaded" retention strap is genius. The smoothness of the knife going in and out is impressive. Will shoot a quick video of it later tonight so you can get a better look. Need to get a couple bigger firesteels...but I think one of the ones I ordered from Dealextreme is the same size as the Army steel. Otherwise will order some Firesteel.com steels for it. I did order 100ft of milspec shock cord today for stuff like firesteel-loop retention. I also think I should do a light sand on the wood grips and get a cherry or similar stain to match the sheath.
This is a bomb-ass sheath! Thanks to Nick for being able to put my idea together. And yes, the BK9 is AWESOME in the scout position, especially with this sheath. You just reach back and that handle naturally finds it's way into your hand.
Video to come....
I must have missed something even after re-reading. What sheath is this?
Right, I thought you meant another sheath because shock cord was mentioned.
Still doing stuff, but will get to the video soon. The biggest problem with a hybrid sheath is deciding which way to keep it in. Also wondering if I should just go find a matching leather belt and use it for the knife in scout mode...instead of taking my main belt on and off to remove the sheath. If you aren't wearing alot of stuff and are doing a lot of moving around, its definately feels more secure on your back.
Tanner, I am so releaved that you got it, I can't even begin to tell you how much.
One thing that I love about the sheaths that I make is that you don't have to take your belt off to put the sheath on or take it off. The straps are held together with heavy duty snaps and so it the dangler loop. Just pop 'em open and thread the straps around your belt, then snap 'em down. Good to go!!
I'm looking forward to your video. I'm very happy that you like it.
Cool gotcha! It's funny cause when you first told me the thread was about the sheath. I felt kinda stupid and went all the way through it again. I still somehow missed the shock cord relation until you just told me. I feel better now.Oh, no. Its just because it has a two-loop firesteel holder on it, and I like to use shock cord on the firesteels and then just tuck the loop down under the ferro end...making it impossible to get out.
