Howdy,

I made this this sheath for the BK2. And I thought I would share images, and see if you all could provide any feedback.

I made it out of .093 Concealex for good retention.

I would love to hear what you all think.

Thank you,
Marion
 
That looks really good, Marion. Very nice, indeed.

What does the back side look like: how does it attach to a belt?
 
Thanks guys!

I did not photograph it with a belt attachment, but a Tek Lok will bolt through holes easily, they are spaced for just such a purpose.

very nice work! i'm tempted to ditch the nylon sheath for my bk9...it's perfectly functional though. argh.
 
I like it.
Just what I'd want.
The spine holes are further from the steel than the blade holes - looks a little off-center. Is that because the thickness of the spine requires more room to mold around?

The factory sheath is functional, but it's nothing to write home about. A Tek-lock compatible unit from properly molded *ex is just the ticket. My Camillus bk11 sheath is very similar, and it's tops.

The stock sheath is good for what it is. But, as you can imagine, I prefer a Kydex/Concealex sheath. : )

You have it right, if you put the rivets too close to the spine, it can bind the knife up.

Looks good. For a knife that size, I would prefer a taco style, but that one works well. I like that you used a thicker kydex also.

Yeah, a fold-over, or taco would be narrower and more stream-lined, but that sort of sheath does limit carry options. And the action is harder to keep consistent with that style.

Best,
Marion
