The Western 062 Folding Hunter is the only one I am carrying (so far) this week. I have it in the original belt sheath.

it's good to see knives being used, instead of just fondled and admired.... long live the Bunny! 😁
That Western is likely the same size as the Case Hunter.... those are big honkin knives.... I carried mine this weekend, when out working on my land. I really need to get a belt sheath for it.... :eek:

Agree. IMHO They should be used. I "think" Not using them as intended is an insult to the cutler who made them. 😇

The Western 062 is 5.25 inch closed. The pattern is rather big. Like the smaller Buck 110/Old Timer 6OT/7OT and Uncle Henry LB7/LB8 the full size slipjoint 1 and 2 blade folding hunters are essentially folding sheath knives.

Since a vertical Buck 110 class sheath is too small, finding a nice vertical sheath is ... "difficult" ....
I don't know if a 110 class NOT formed horizontal or cross draw sheath will take one.
(I did find a (IMHO) rather nice 110 cross draw sheath I may get for one of my 110's next year. If I do, I'll let you know if the Western or my off shore 25OT and offshore Marbles two blade folding hunters fit. 😊

Only option I can "think" of for a sheath that fits, (besides trying to find an original in good usable condition), is to have your local saddle maker make one, or commission one of the sheath makers here make you one, or take the plunge and make one yourself. (depending on the leather working tools you have, it may be less costly to commission one of the sheath makers. 🤔)

Yeah, I play around with leather sometimes... it's one of my part-time hobbies... I might have to experiment a little for the big guys. I have one single blade that was gifted to me by a generous porch member, then my brother gave me three of them for my birthday... He has a rather large collection of mostly Case knives he's bought over the years. He just stuck them away in boxes, most of them in their original Case box, unused. He has a bunch...

I like the Bunny Knife. You’d think after hordes of bunny’s Australia wouldn’t import giant toads but…toad sticker knife!

Do The Australian "Powers That Be" "think" or "believe" the giant toads will help reduce the bunny population by eating them?
