Buck Sheath Thread *Post Photobucket Fall-Out*

[TAH]

The original thread, that I started two years ago, was pretty much demolished by the recent Photobucket hostage situation. It was a thread that I enjoyed because I love sheaths as much as the knives that go in them. Hopefully, there are some new members who can contribute as well.

Buck offers some of the best sheaths in the business, but sometimes it's fun to change it up a bit. Let's see your custom, aftermarket, or 'modified' Buck sheaths!

Here are a few of my favorites...

Does anyone want to take a guess how this sheath was modified or what it was originally?

Nice sheaths with nice pictures. I'll show some that I have done and we're fun to do.

 

[TAH]

I knew that I could count on you, Makael. They're all great, but I really, really like this package.

Loving this! My only custom sheath is wrapped around the 121 pictured above

Mike, you do great work!

I enjoy the 110 in an open top sheath. Sheaths by Jack Rudder.



I would really enjoy my buck fixed blades in one of those flap over sheaths above.

Where do you find Jack Rudder? He does nice work! When I googled him, these popped up.

He was here on the forum as rudderjt. Besides here, i think you have to go to southern Colorado to find him.

Yep, that's where he lives. A lucky guy. DM

Practice practice practice. I think going on 1.5 years messing around with building sheaths. I learn something with every one I build. Invested in the appropriate sewing machine sped things up

I'll take a "stab" at it, TAH. It looks like an older distressed brown leather sheath that has been oiled and treated with a satin finish. Also, it appears that the Buck snap was replaced with a high quality nickel snap to match the rivets.

 

[TAH]

You nailed it, TAH! You are one knowledgeable Buck guy.

 

[TAH]

Thanks TAH!

Beautiful sheaths. I must admit I'm also one who enjoys the sheaths as much as the knives. I only have the one custom Mikael gave me. Its a beauty. I'll repost it sometime once I start using a new photo host.

Thank You TAH for starting this again. I pickup knives on the bay with no sheath so I am always looking for a sheath. I also had these on the old thread.

I really like this one, Ed. Who made it? Was it on eBay?

Thanks!

 

[edbeau]

TAH, picked it up off the bay so I don't know who made it.

 

[TAH]

Thanks!

Took some pictures of other sheaths I bought off the bay.

Both are for a 112.

For 110

Picked this up off the bay. There seems to be a few names for this type of sheath out there. I already have one for a 110 and this one is for a 112. I wanted to have a few pictures to show how they work. The knife I have given the name "Sparky", I am glad I bought it that way and wasn't the one that received the shock.
