Recommendation? Case Large Stockman - Belt Sheath?

Cool good for you, supporting this site just helps everyone out too !

And posting an image of your knife would be handy to see just what the contours are of your folder, side view as well as a shot down into the frame to see how thick the scales are as well.

Lot's of great suggestions. I can personally attest that Gary W. Graley Gary W. Graley makes a great belt sheath.
Haven't purchased from Dave yet, but he's on my list!
Here's one, made by Max Capdebarthes, that I pickled up on the web. I use it A LOT for my 4" Lloyd trapper and others. There's plenty of room for a 4 1/4" Stockman.

Good taste! Been eyeing that brand I want to get another lockback just to get this sheath for it.

Gary W. Graley Gary W. Graley ,

It's a 10375 in black laminate (Micarta-ish)

It measures 4.25" long (sorry, bumped the tape off a bit):

0.5" wide with almost no swell in the center:

And is a smidge over 1" from the tallest blade spine to handle edge. Maybe 1/32nd - 1/16th depending on how you hold the tape:

That help? Need something more specific?

Thanks again.

I really like the idea of a vertical, open-top, simple design. By simple, I just mean no pattern, etc. I'm not against any of that but I do like simpler leather.
 
Nice knife, the contour looks like it would retain in an open top sheath well.

sXePhenomenal sXePhenomenal , Peregrin Peregrin , I have 2 of the Max Capdebarthes sheaths and I too would not hesitate to recommend them. Very well made - vert/horiz carry, nice heavy leather, some good colors offered and different sizes too. These shown are perfect for a stout folder in the 4" closed range. Mine are boring black and natural but do the job perfectly.

These, not open tops so I did not suggest them as an option this time. GaryG Gary W. Graley Gary W. Graley and Dave Horsewright Horsewright do those so beautifully.

I’ll be getting one when I find a knife to put in it :thumbsup:
 
So just to kinda give some background, I'm still in "pattern exploration". I'm getting older and I figure I want to try out lots of options to really zero in on what I like. I've done this with other brands, kitchen knives, etc. I want to know that I'm carrying what I really, really like. Now that might mean different likes for different tasks/days but I just enjoy the venture of the discovery and evaluation and decision.

For that reason, I'm hesitant to commit fully to the Large Stockman. If I was convinced this was a go-to pattern for me then I'd be banging on the doors of Gary W. Graley Gary W. Graley and Horsewright Horsewright . And that goes for so many of the great suggestions you all have provided and I have saved.

One thing I have noticed in this little foray is that the Trapper pattern has a hooping bunch of sheath options out there. So, I did the only sensible thing and ordered a Case Trapper. :p

I also ordered a couple different Case-made sheaths. They're cheap enough to experiment with.

I genuinely appreciate all the inputs and this isn't over. I just need to drill down on the pattern, and then the carry method and the provider.
