Survival Knife Sheaths

[cgusek111]

Just wanted to show everyone the custom sheaths I made for my survival knives.

Sheath for Gerber Steadfast w/ strap for attaching gear

CS Recon Tanto sheath w/ strap for attaching gear

Sheath for Gerber Gator

I just finished them this week and was able to take the into the bush yesterday. As much as I love kydex I always long for the look and feel of a good leather sheath. I tried to combine the classic and modern sheath making techniques into these. I didn't do any sewing. They were all made with rivets (I just like how rivets look).The additional strap makes it easy to attach and detach any gear, small survival kit, multitool, whatever. I enjoyed making them and wanted to share the ideas with everyone here. Thanks for looking.

I like them looks good and most importantly you have the "home-made" sence or pride.
Q: Is the retaing strap the only retainment device? or are the sheaths s tight fit and hold the knife well as a pouch type like the one for the Recon Tanto you have the rentention strap remoavable

The Gerber Gator is a good tight fit and the Tanto fits good without the retaining strap. I couldn't get the Steadfast sheath tight enough, but with the strap it won't come out.
