non-kukri Quickdraw Sheath

[Daniel Koster]

I had this sheath made - inspired by the quickdraw sheaths we see on kukris. :thumbup:

Whatcha think?

Reminds me of the old Chindit Dha sheaths, Nice work... Effieicnt design for easy quick draw..

How does it feel to use?

Dan, I like it a lot.

Question, though: do you think the stitching goes up high enough on the spine side to be really secure?

 

[Daniel Koster]

You can't even wrestle it loose.

Follow the stitching...there is a welt all the way around, including a little "bump" where the blade meets the handle....if you had x-ray glasses...the weld matches the blade exactly. Make sense?

You can turn this upside down and shake it...and the blade will not come out...it is "locked in place".

I think that it is a clean and elegant design. How does it feel when worn?
Do you think that the sheath would be more durable with a few brass rivets to protect the stitching and you at critical points.

 

[Daniel Koster]

Yes, I do. And I'm working with the leather guy to have him put some in. :thumbup:



The sheath feels great. It makes this otherwise huge knife feel easy to carry. It's more slender than a regular sheath.
