Just bought a GEC #47 farm and field. My first traditional minus my grand fathers that have been handed down. I'm used to carrying moderns. So I'd kind of like to get an idea of clipped leather sheaths for traditionals and ya'lls thoughts on them. Such as does the sheath come out with the knife when deployed? And maybe some suggestions on where to find or have a sponsor make one?

Thanks, and i hope this is the right sub!
 
I thought that someone would have jumped in here and offered some advice before now .
So it looks like I'm the first batter up .

I personally think that a pocket clip sheath / slip is a great way to carry a Traditional or any knife that doesn't have a pocket clip .
I've made a few pocket clip sheaths recently for SAK's and it has rejuvenated my enthusiasm for carrying them again .
In the warmer months here when I'm not at work I live in basketball type shorts . The ability to clip a SAK IWB is a great option and a very comfortable and safe way to carry .
I'm not sure if there are commercial off the shelf clipped sheaths available , but any of the custom makers here could help you out I'm sure .

I highly recommend getting one .

Just took this pic of what I'm carrying today , both clipped IWB .
The clipped sheath/slip frees up room in my pocket , and offers far more security against lose .
The sleek Alox handle of the SAK is very prone to slipping out of loose pockets in my experience .

I've been toying with the idea and reading up on making a sheath for a couple knives i have now. I reckon this would be a good place to start. That one looks pretty darn good and is about exactly what i had in my head.
 
No one does simple as clean as you do Ken. That is wow! dw32005 if you decide to build yourself a sheath there is a lot of help here both in the Stickies up above and here just by asking.
