She came shaving sharp as is the way with WCF!
I have been working on refinements to my WCF PSK Kydex sheaths. I know these are PSK knives aka meant to be tossed in a little kit but believe me they make for fine little neckers. I have been using a carbon steel WCF PSK as a necker for some time. Often I totally forget it's there. I have fallen asleep camping wearing the little knife as it's so UL. It looks so not like a knife people are clueless as to it's real ID. I wear the carbon steel PSK out in the open like a dangling pendent. On the right is the carbon and in new blaze orange is the SS. The #8s have been worn to brass on the black Kydex as it has seen a good deal of carry.
Some Kydex refinements. The sheaths don't need the tension locking/adjustment screw however I like to lock little knives into the sheath making dropping nearly impossible. I added a thicker washer to one side of the post/screw for easier grasping and this also allows for a longer screw/post not that the other would unscrewed and fall out but more tends to be better.
Ton of play. No way this would be over unscrewed in the field resulting in loss of screw/slotted passthrough post. The knife would be just fine either way.
I moved the retention point back some as it makes unscrewing a micro easier plus reduces the overall size of the sheath. The SS knife is a bit larger than carbon PSK so it's sheath will be a bit bigger no matter what. Also used reflective cordage for for the loop connecting the knife to Orange 550.
I don't like smaller kit items for the woods which bends in too well. Sometimes brighter is better
So why did I take those spikes and knife off? That's another story.
The knife cut well however only have one outing and some EDC under it's belt. Thanks for looking!
