You might see if Chattanooga can make them, they do a lot of stuff for LG and D7. But I don't know of any off the shelf options. I will say the kydex they come with is very nice.View attachment 3103231
Might as well post here too. Today’s carry, along with a Salt LW LC200N Wharnie.
Quick question— Are there aftermarket sheaths for the Magnate readily available? Thanks.
I'm a big fan of the JRE Model K. I found it to have great retention with the Magnate. You should be able to find one for under $50. They also have some optionality to them if you prefer a dangler or a firesteel loop.View attachment 3103231

I couldn't find a picture of my Magnate in the sheath, but here it is holding a similarly sized Model 2:

EPiC.Since it’s Talos week, I figured I’d share a fun pair from the collection.
Up top is a 2014 V1. I can’t say with absolute certainty that it’s the only Morph-milled V1 with a DLC blade, but I’ve personally never come across another example. Keep in mind that the V3 VECP didn't appear until a year later. At the time, if you wanted a milled midtech from Les, your options were limited to a very small handful of ESVs and a couple of rare iterations of the Talos.
On the bottom is a V2 with Aztec lasering that I picked up directly from Les at Blade Show Texas 2025.
Always cool to see how the model evolved from the early V1 days into current era.

Clip side shot to appease the wrathful P pnclbell . I had the Xenomorph one lasered for thematic reasons. Les had Chaos clips at CanCon ’24, and
Smythes_Knives and I were each lucky enough to snag one.
