Best knife and sheath combo.Whats yours?

[cutlerycrazy]

Hello I am new to your blog so please forgive my ignorance if I post a topic that's maybe been done before or too often. I figured I would start by Stating my admiration of Mr. Blackie Collins for his ingenious way he used to fit his knives to the sheaths. Too often I find manufactures make an admirable knife only to pair it with a poor sheath. Like my Ontario Kukri is a real fine blade but the original sheath is like Cardura covered cardboard. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

Owen Baker Jr. - Baker Bilt. Really nice small fixed blade, with a sheath that compliments it well in design and construction.

I really like the Carothers HDFK and the kydex sheath that comes with it

Nice sheath on the White River Backpacker as well.

Dozier KM-5...read that they actually custom fit the sheath to each knife, and awesome set up where moving the knife a certain way in the kydex sheath kind of opens it up so the blade comes out smoothly...

Also have a SK GSO 5, and the kydex sheath is excellent...

CRK - leather sheaths for their fixed blades are really well made...and the leather slip sheaths are a nice option for folders (included with their graphic, inlaid & damascus versions).

Beautiful! Nice fit. Soak your leather?

Thanks. No soaking. It has just worn in really well, with a lot of belt time, which I take to be a sign of good craftsmanship.

Your interpretative instinct regarding “signs” is spot on. I love making sheaths and viewing beauties as well. Thanks for he pic.
