RSK Mk2 Sheath

You can view some images of the prototype sheath at:

PLEASE NOTE: the tab on the retaining strap on the production sheath will be about 1/2 as long as that on the prototype. Still plenty for one-handed operation with the stiffener, but won't stick out so far as to get caught on things.

Thanks for the update!

Not by sleigh, for sure. Hope by end of year, but could well slip into January due to slow shipping over the holidays or a hiccup in production. Especially with a first run, stuff happens.

Most understandable! Either way, their coming (timing) was a surprise to me, I didn't expect to see the design even discussed for another few quarters. So I'm a happy camper.

I see a new favorite knife coming my way soon...

Any idea on price point?

Nice knife it kind of reminds me of the Bk-10 crewman

I like the brass plug idea and the stronger zytel scales

Very nice, it looks like a great compliment to the knife. Just saw the date pushed back to January Still worth it though, can't wait!

Don't feel bad, my mailman just filed a restraining order against me thanks to my impatience.

it's a whole nother day and it's still not here. dies a little inside

oh, and the sheath is made in Mexico. that's Central America! guess it's all still American made

at least it's in English! that way this dumb American can read where it's made!

Looks good, I like the ability to add in a secondary or alternative retention strap with para cord if needs be.

updates on the sheath? or the grey coating pictures? or any information at all?

need to know!

Will the retaining strap still be long enough so it can be unsnapped while wearing gloves?

The stiffener in the strap tail end should allow it to be unsnapped easily enough in most cases, even with most gloves on.

I still think the price was to steep, nice looking knife though.
