Busy, busy this week in the Batcave but you can get alot done on coffee and pizza. Alot of people chimed in on the poll so I decided I would make all of them. Sorry I couldn't oblige the drop dead requests just yet.

I've ordered in some new sized firesteels for these. I chose to go with 5/16" x3 with a lanyard hole on some instead of the 3/8" t handle types, makes for easier edc for those that do, also going to do some shock cord retention on the neck and hip ones instead of paracord. Others like the pocket and conceal do not need require one since they are molded in there and quite snug. Once I get some other doodads from the fat UPS guy later this week they will be ready to go. Since I don't have any firesteels yet you can use your imagination.

They will all work for the 11 or 14, but I will have to make options on the site for the 4 handle styles though, none, 11 micarta,14 izula scales and the new 14 scales forthcoming since they need to be molded to them. The hip and neck will also be available sans firesteel. I need to order a couple more 11 and 14's tomorrow, I'm tired of taking scales off and on and off and on.

I'm pretty happy with these, I spent a couple months thinking about them so let me know what you think or changes you would like to see.

Belt Sheath, Pretty much the same as the neck. Well almost.

Pocket Sheath, This is a fun way to carry, Plus you can stuff other things in it. Flashlight, firesteel, Smurfberries. Plus with the 14 most people will just think you have a badass tactical comb in your pock. For other things you want to carry it is best to send it in so I can do the molding fit for it. Otherwise the only guarantee is there aint no guarantee. Guaranteed.

Conceal sheath, This is my favorite by far and is going weakside just as soon as I can figure how to get my multi tool on it too without making it much bigger.
The pics on this one are a bit crappy, Mostly because I just got done forming it and it's soaking ass wet. Still have some finish work to do on it, dyeing the belt loops and other stuff but you get the idea. This thing rides high and tight with no poking in the shortribs when you bend or other irritating stuff.

The one on the right I made first and I goofed on stitching and didn't allow room for the firesteel, Either too much coffee or not enough. One for the garbage bin, Oh well happens on occasion.

Now that I got all that stuff done, I can go play with a new toy tomorrow that I have been staring at all week. The wifes early v-day to me. Yes she kicks ass :D

I love that concealment belt sheath. That thing seems perfect for appendix carry. Similar to how Bob Kasper used to recommend a short fixed blade be carried. :thumbup:

I'm going to need one of those for my BK-17, when they are released.

Wait, did you say you're going to chuck that BK-11 sheath in the garbage? Don't do it just yet. I'd be willing to take it off your hands. It looks like it would do just fine.

Sorry mate, goofs always go into the trash, I don't want it showing up second or third hand in a couple years and people thinking I put out crap work.

Thanks I'm itching to get it finished when it dries up.

I've got a garbage bin that your mistake could fit in. These look great. I'll be keeping my eyes open for a price.

About getting your multitool to fit, would it work to wear these behind your belt and stick a multitool sheath in front of your belt between the two belt loops? I don't know how comfortable that would be. My kydex sheath I wear now I wear between my belt and jeans. It keeps it nice and tight to my body and nicely concealed. It's just a vertical sheath though. I'm not sure how comfortable a cross-draw sheath would be under the belt.
 
that concealment pancake sheath needs to be made in BK2 size!! and Shorts size!

They are coming, Not sure on the BK2 yet but it is in the thought process. The 15,16,17 are already in the works, soon as I get my hands on them they will be ready to go.

These should all be ready by the end of the week pending the big brown truck.

The pancake can be worn pretty much anywhere, I had though about a pocket on it for a multi tool. Well my multi tool anyway, there are too many different sizes on those things.
 
Love the belt sheath for the 11. Might have to order one after I get the custom from you. Nice work man really!
 
I voted for you to drop dead, pretty sure I wasn't the only one. I was wondering if I can order just the pouch for a plain BK10 sheath I all ready have?
 
Excellent designs all around! The concealment sheaths are an excellent idea. Here in Colorado, we can conceal up to 3 1/2" blades legally, so that makes the 14 and 11 highly desirable blades. I think that sheath design is perfect for the 14. After seeing that style work well for handguns for so long, I'm surprised sheath makers don't utilize it more often...
 
Dude, I'm loving them. I really like that pocket sheath. I suggested you make a spot to carry a small light, SAK, or something like that and that's exact what you did. I want it now. :) Also, that pancake sheath was a complete surprise and blew me away. I really like it, and just letting you know I want one for my Tweener when it gets here. ASAP. Great job, bro.
