So, I've noticed that people (including myself) have a hard time referencing my sheaths, because the different styles aren't named. Unless you're talking about the Expedition sheath you have to describe the style you're talking about. So I decided to take action and name a few more :D! I wanted the names to be themed with each other.... and I already had the "expedition".... so bare with me on this one... and keep in mind, the theme did actually start out as a joke....

We'll start off with the Expedition sheath... the Expedition sheath features horizontal straps and a fully adjustable belt hanger (pictured below).

Next up is the sheath formerly known as "snappy-style expedition". It is now the Explorer sheath :D. Like the Expedition, the Explorer also features horizontal straps and an adjustable belt hanger. The main difference is the Explorer also has a retaining strap with a snap, and it tends to be for larger knives, like Spanish Dirks (below). And as of right now (according to Christof, who's reading over my shoulder), for all knives with blades over 12", the Explorer comes standard with D-rings for baldric carry.

With D-rings:

Next we have the Ranger sheath. The Ranger has been referred to as the "EDC carry sheath" in the past. It has a folded over belt loop that is stitched to a single strap. It is generally considered to look a little dressier than the Expedition sheath.

Two more!

The Outback: Defined by a flap with either a snap or a stud, the Outback sheath will definitely keep your knife secure.

Last, but not least is the Patriot! The Patriot has a slim profile and a single strap for horizontal carry.

Wow, that was a longer post than I expected... Thanks for looking, did you figure out the theme?!? :D :p :D
 
Will the large one be an Excursion?
BTW, I love your work. You are an artist with leather.
 
I have a good wrangler design for ya for the gaucho types :)

I'll add that the patriot was almost the liberty- and the idea is that it is a self defense type of carry. (yeah, it is a decent EDC carry, but more often i see SD knvies in sheaths like this)
 
Oh yeah, I think KG has plans for a multi-pocket full flap sheath called the Navigator.
 
Thanks Christian. The Ranger started out as the standard sheath for modern seax's and it has evolved into "EDC: koyote girl-style" :D


Your Leather Work Is "Top Notch" Sierra, And you took some Great picture's of some Beautiful example's of your Work, I really like my Ranger Sheath that came with my Koyote Knive's Modern Seax, Keep up the Good Work, And I like the High Quality of the Leather you use In your Sheath making, It's just like the Leather on High Quality Leather Holster's, :thumbup:

Thanks!

Christof used to get me leather from Tandy, but after our first order from Siegel I kicked his ass and told him never to buy third rate leather from Tandy ever again. The stuff we get now is so perfect I have to pet it and admire it when it comes in. :D

Sierra,

Am I getting D rings?

Unfortunately, the standard D-rings went into effect last night, and your sheaths were finished like 5 days ago. Sooo... no... sorry :(. Christof is doing some more finish work on the handles (more oils and finer sanding), but it should get mailed out really really soon :D
 
When you make one you call the HMMWV I'll be really interested.
 
For reasons that I'll not bother to explain overly clearly, We've already decided that the "Hummer" sheath isn't going to happen.........
