The 710 Custom BK-14 Pancake Sheath: Review

[TheWambo]

Overview:

Handcrafted by JD in the United Stated
0.080 inch Kydex
Made to order, with many options available for attachment and style

Fit:

The sheath is perfectly fitted to knife (with options available for different handles) sits very securely with no rattle whatsoever. The belt loop is perfectly shaped to the sheath.

Finish:

Very professionally made, all the surfaces, contours, edges, and seams are flawless. The eyelets are even and straight, and the assembly is top notch all around.

Functionality:

The design of the sheath itself allows for secure retention, comfortable access, and a slim profile. The slight cant of the belt loop keeps the sheath slim against the leg and the handle slightly away from the hip for an easy grip when drawing the knife. It sits very comfortably at the hip or slightly behind the hip. While the design is aesthetically attractive it is supremely functional as well. All the material right where it needs to be, at exactly the right angle, with nothing out of place.

Conclusion:

Beautiful craftsmanship, excellent customer relations, fair prices, and all around a great sheath, made by an excellent craftsman. 10/10

yeah I figure after a month of beating it around every day it's high time to give it some time in the spotlight.

Thanks for taking the time on this one wambo. I've heard and seen great things from 710 and this was helpful. I'm looking for a pancake kydex for my izula and thinking of pullin the trigger soon.

Glad I could help, he does really great work, you won't be disappointed, definitely one of the greats in the Kydex market (his leather work looks beautiful as well, especially the kydex leather hybrids; but no hands on experience myself)
