Knife Sheaths

There are many different kinds of sheaths. I like the ones that snap up on the knife handle. The ones that snap lower around the thumb piece, to me, does not work well. Its easy to get the knife out, but not so easy to get the knife back in.

Below is a picture of 10 different kinds of knife sheaths.

Do you have any different kinds or pictures of sheaths.

Ivars - I understand now, thanks for the tip.

Comment by Ken Spielvogel on May 16, 2014 at 9:26: No, not sure what you mean???

Comment by Ken Spielvogel on May 9, 2014 at 17:11: Thanks Robert, that sheath is just not practical.

I might try that.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on May 9, 2014 at 17:09: I think the reason a sheath is made with that wrap around sheath is to save work and money. It's made with one piece of leather.

The large Bowie sheath, you might get a knife maker to make one for you. It may not cost too much.

Comment by Ken Spielvogel on May 9, 2014 at 16:58: Need a Sheath for this Knife. Any ideas?

Comment by Ken Spielvogel on May 9, 2014 at 16:40: What is the purpose of making a knife sheath like this? Anyone know. It is very unhandy to get the knife back in the sheath, esp. 1 handed. The knife is great - they are Case and I have two of them, but I do not like the sheaths. Maybe I will try to put the knives in a more usable sheath. What do you think.?

Comment by Ken Spielvogel on May 2, 2014 at 13:39: Great write up Ivars - very informative

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on May 1, 2014 at 19:23: I don't have any sheaths like that but I have bought some as presents. They do seem like trouble to use. If you only take your knife out every now and then, well it's not so bad but if you go to your knife a lot, you might ware out putting it back.
