Now here's something you wouldn't think of getting and actually
what I charge is more than the knife, so I usually try to talk people
out of ordering sheaths for this style of knife, but, it's a very handy
way to carry instead of digging in your pocket and it ended up being
a very nice secure fit to the knife in the sheath.

So this will give you guys some ideas, you can make them on your
own or have someone local craft one up, but worth the trouble!

Thanks to Dcrutch8, the model is the 301 from Buck, it's one of the larger 3 bladed guys.
Sheath is worn vertically, belt loop folds back down the back side of the sheath
and is sewn along the bottom.

I got "A"'s in Metal Shop and Mechanical Drawing...(in 1967)...and I recently had to switch from being right-handed to shooting left-handed...so all my right-hand holsters and sheaths are pretty useless to me now... :(

...But I recognized your name here...Your reputation precedes you... :D;):p

wow that makes you mayhap's a tad older then me and compost! :p
yea i tool shop and mechanical drawing also! ;)
they watched us boys from the 'hood close so we had no chance to make any knives at the grinder stand!!!
 
I was a shop TEACHER for 25 years. Taught metal working, welding, drafting, woodworking and auto mechanics. And, yes, in my shop we made hunting knives. I had all the right grinders, buffers, compounds, etc., and my kids made knives to be proud of. Trying to do that today in our "Politically correct" society would cause the building principal to go into appoplexy! Oh, and we built muzzleloading rifles, too, and did reloading and even cast our own bullets for a foundry project. Then they said we couldn't make the bullets any more, so I asked if we could make sinkers, for fishing, since I had the lead, the furnaces, the molds, etc. Sure, not a problem. So, we made lots of .38 caliber sinkers, and .45 caliber sinkers, and a few .30 caliber sinkers. Having such things in school was important, back then, but today, none of these skills are necessary, but, Boy, our kids can sure take a test!!!!!

Oh, well........Jack
 
shop Teacher for 25 years, nice!

My first spanking in school was from a shop teacher.
I sat right in front of his desk, my desk was flush to
the front of his, pretty close.
There was a fly walking on his book, I had a rubber band
that was cut so I was using it like a whip, snapping it and
smashing flys. He saw me eyeing that fly, and said 'Don't
do that Gary' what was I to do, I hit it square and left a
big red stain on his book and he took me out into the shop
to do his duty, I was also his first student to be spanked in
that school, as he was new there, Mr Beeman, nice guy, just
don't hit flys on his books !

Trust me as I speak from experience, most of them (always exceptions) cannot take a test (or at least do well on one) if it requires any cognitive skills. Today's youth are so tuned into computers and the internet, that most of them can only copy, cut and paste. :(

Today, that instructor would most likley lose his job and be charged with criminal assault for such action. How times have changed.
 
Well, poke this one with a fork since it's done. I appologize for straying from the subject at hand and if I stepped on anyones' toes, I double appologize and hope that they get a new Buck knife in their Christmas stocking.

Any one else looking at that leather stacked 119 from the custom shop??

Jack
 
Hehe, well stick it with a fork all you like sir,
I reckon I'll take a peek at the 119 one from the custom shoppe...

That sheath looks very familiar?;) Gary did a great job on this sheath!! It's still working and looking good! Thanks again Gary!

Daniel

p.s. That is a 301
 
Great looking sheath rig there!!!

I had a similar one done as a neck rig by Scott Gossman for jumbo stockman knives.

Thanks Daniel, couldn't remember which one it was, but I loved how it
snaps in so secure, glad you're putting it to use sir!

and thanks LastConfederate, nice looking neck carry there, do you have
a shot of the knife outside the sheath? looks like a rugged knife too!
