I would totally see that if you tried to conceal it in that sheath

Oh no you wouldn’t.

Like these Paul Long’s?

Some day I'll be there, goddam that man is a wonder.

Eric you don’t need a big ass stud like the ones on Bill Bagwell’s sheath, and I don’t want it too thin if I’m going to be putting a sharp blade down my pants.

Very nice. What's up with the cord? Also, do you know if Paul keeps the pattern? I assume he does and wouldn't need the knife sent to him...other than maybe the new dagger grind.

 

[Lorien]

tie the cord down so when you pull the knife, the sheath stays attached to you

OK, same idea as the Japanese/Hartsfield style sheath cord I guess. I've just never seen that incorporated into the Bagwell style/stud sheath. Must have some strong retention. I think I would just tighten my belt.

Just saw a flashlight for sale here on BF for close to $800 and thought, ”That’s ridiculous!”. And then thought, “That’s how my wife views my knives.”
To each their own!

Does it bother anyone else that the Forged in Fire hammer hits the blade at an angle, but the logo is perfectly straight?

Thanks Mark, sorry I was late to reply, I’m at work. Thanks for the reply Lorien. The retention is not too strong, but approximately 1/4 of the handle is in the sheath so I requested the shock cord as a fail safe. I just loop it around my belt, and I don’t have to worry about the sheath coming out with the knife.

In the recent past, I have let go of more knives than I have acquired. Primarily I only own, or rather used to own 3 brands:

Carothers in fixed, Shiro and Spydie in folding. All the Shiros have gone to greener pastures for now and maybe for good, as I'll be waiting for Nathan's debut in the folder market; I like Spydies but there's nothing new on their horizon which excites me (wanted a Paysan which turned out to be a mini disaster!).

Anyway, random thoughts:

Bring out more CPKs because I'm getting antsy

Frog and sash carry for those wondering about the stud on the Paul Long sheaths

@BladeScout did a good job showing the setups ^

I think that Paul may keep the patterns, but he usually likes to fit the knife to the sheath, so a knife in his hand is helpful. Mike

Yeah that’s the kind of stud I like, otherwise it will fall down my pants

I'll bet the makers could use that style by request. That type looks like it works really good with a frog too, compared against the style with the smaller head. I'm not sure what that particular one is called tho….

I’m sorry, I forgot to answer the second part of your question Mark. I agree with Mike, I think Paul likes to have the knife in shop. I sent him a UF for the brown one, and I took advantage when Marc had his UF there to order the black one.

Thanks for the excellent customer service Gus. You are a ‘buster and a gentleman.

LOL, with it perfectly centered I didn't even realize it was a googly eye at first...was wondering what the hell you did

I hear ya! I was almost tempted into buying an Infi Ratmandu last night. The thing is, I purged all my Busse’s in favour of CPK. Craziness!

I’ve gone with CPK for fixed blades and Chris Reeve, Spyderco and a SAK for the folders.
