New Bushcraft Sheath made by Jamie Briggs - The Vince Gray Bushcraft

[rlinger]

Vince Gray in the UK designed this concept for me to make him. He wanted a bushcraft with an exposed tang end for scrapping and what not and then came up with a scheme to help secure the knife into the sheath while carrying under difficult circumstances. Jamie Briggs made the sheath and corresponded with Vince on how it was to be. Jamie nailed it, of course. Jamie sandwiched and stitched a piece of kydex into the leather tab. It is the kydex insert that rests within the tang notch. Yours truely made the knife. I thought it was worth showing since I believe it unique.

Thanks for the look.

interesting design.. I like it. What is the purpose of the green paracord?

Jerid,

As far as I can figure its one of two things: just in case you need some or as a shoulder sling for neck carry. I dare not unwrap it. I just make the knives.

Nice package, Roger! I like these Scandi grinds you're doing!

Nice Roger! Interesting about the tang. I'm betting that the parachord is more for looks than for use? It seems to really be fastened securely, from looking at the backside of the sheath.
