Swick 2 Sheath...

[Marion David Poff]

Howdy,

This is the sheath I build for the Swick 2.

Of course, it will mate up with any of the popular carry attachments.

Let me know what you think.

Looks great Marion. Is there a possibility that they can be made to cover the large finger hole? With a slight depression in the center of the ring as an added detent?
Just curious.

I made one with the finger hole covered as suggested and it was very uncomfortable--with the finger hole open, your index finger naturally inserts in the most obvious grip. Leaving a little kydex over the very beginning of the hole seems to hold the knife in the sheath quite strongly.

Just curious.

A fairly small contoured lip that covers about 1/4 of the hole is enough to add a lot of retention.

I'm just afraid of someone actually removing the knife from the sheath, the finger hole exposed provides opportunity.

Yeah, if you want one like that, I can definitely do it.

A sheath like that may not work for everyone, but it can be done.

Good points.

True.


Best,
