Hey there!
I have a Battle Mistress that I got about a week or so, and have already take it out on a five day excursion. I didn't know how well I would like the sheath they currently make, as I thought the Kydex is a little more sleek, and a little (dare I say) "sexier". But, I grew to appreciate the sheath while I was out this week. One of the things that I liked was the addition of the pouch on the sheath. It was very roomy and had the extra touch of an elastic strap that keeps items in the pocket fairly snug even if the top strap isn't closed over.
However, I couldn't help but notice all of the extra room on the bottom half of the sheath. It looked like there would be enough room for another such pocket as well. I got a Natural Outlaw at the same time, and there definitely isn't room for another one on that sheath, but there is on the BM.
As this BM is going to be my expedition knife, and presumably going to be with me most everywhere I go, I like to have a few items with the knife, like a fire starter (Just got the new model from WSI and love it), water purification tabs, Leatherman Wave, and a few other goodies. All of these are last ditch items when the pack's gone, there's nothing left but my knife and me. I just hate to see all of that room go to waste at the bottom of the sheath.
How feasible would it be to get your contractor for sheaths to make up a BM model that has two of the pouches? Anybody else out there have any suggestions, opinions or ideas?
Don't get me wrong, I love the set-up, but I'm always in the mood to "tweak" things a little.
