Back in the fall, I started fooling around with a design for a sheath carry system.
Often I am afield with a pack, and a knife on the belt becomes hard to access, or is in the way of the pack waist belt.
I also like to hunt in swamps, and I wanted a way to carry the knife higher.
Thirdly, I wanted to have the ability to wear the sheath in either a dangler, (sheath hanging below the belt) or a baldric carry position.
A leather maker out in Texas, Dwayne Puckett of Armoralleather said he would tackle the project.
He has pretty well nailed the concept I wanted. He had a ESEE 4 to work with, and he made me a Randall style pouch sheath and the belt carrier as well as the baldric strap.
The sheath will fit either carry method. I can wear the sheath on the strong or weak side, with both carry methods. Interchangeable. Any additional knives I send him for the same style sheath, will fit either carry method as well.
Dwayne's work is fantastic. I went with no ornamentation. He does beautiful design and embellishment work, but the project was already getting spendy.
In the near future, I'll have him make at least three more custom fit Randall style pouch sheaths for my Busse CABS, my Spyderco BushcraftUK knife, and for my ESEE 5.

. But it's certainly a good looking sheath.
