CPKhuk

man those chips are FLYING!!

 

[Lorien]

I plan on sending many more chips airborne in the near future- sheath's almost done so soon the hunt will be on

 

[Lorien]

it ain't pretty, but that's not the point. Proved out a few ideas, and it'll allow me to get this savage tool out into the boonies safely

 

[MattinLA]

Man, I will need that set up!

 

[Jsega51]

I wonder how the retention will hold up long term as that leather gets worked at the throat. I’d think that with the large open spine area, those side wings will flex more than if the welt went up further.

Great idea on it the principle of that open spine. I have a handgun chest rig that has an open top like that designed to allow for a scope, but I like it because I can pull the gun up and out, vs just pulling one direction. I think that’s a good element to think of with longer blades.

 

[Lorien]

the open spine section allows the sheath to be narrower, so you can hold it and/or it will fit more places. A full coverage sheath for a khuk this size will be pretty wide. Traditional wood core might be a cool custom option, but for production purposes it isn't practicamable

there are a lot of little features that aren't readily apparent with this sheath, which I plan to illuminate at some point

 

[TRfromMT]

Lorien could you incorporate a metal or kydex spring clip in the opening to help keep the retention? I don't know anything about sheaths, so sorry if that's a dumb question.

you could make the whole sheath with kydex

 

[Lorien]

not much of an edge left after today, lol

 

[Richard338]

No question I'll line up to buy one.
(the only question is whether I can resist making my own half-assed version in the meantime)

don't resist, pm me if you think I can help at any point

Awesome, will do. My biggest hesitation is taking a shot at it with a poor design.

its wat I did for my busse kz2

 

[Lorien]

no lack of testing of this prototype. Both knives have been indispensable

 

[Lorien]

got that spot finished up today, more or less

 

[Lorien]

there'll be other attachment for the sheath, primarily a removable drop belt loop type thing similar to the traditional method.
this is how I will be carrying this knife, more or less.

the edge took quite the beating. It's super fun to push a knife past where you normally would

I think I might fix it up a little bit now that I'm done chopping rocks

 

[Lorien]

it's sharp, (enough) again. Got a few more things I want to try out, and a couple small refinements to the handle, then I'll bid adieu and send it off to the man in the big pants. I will definitely miss it when it's gone- it's become my favourite smasher

I better not buy a condor then eh?

 

[Lorien]
