Knife Sheath

I would prefer to use a more subtle holder like srping tension on the inside. Maybe a long oak spring? That would require cutting it apart. Good luck.

I was thinking of going with something like that but during the design phase the simple concept stood out more.

I would suggest a hinged box that traps the knife in place. That way you aren’t dulling your razor edge by dragging it in and out of the sheath.

As I mentioned above, the simplicity of a sheath won out over any kind of box or locking mechanism. This really doesn’t dull my knife any more than the standard knife block it lives in all the time. And as for sharpness, my knives hit the spyderco once a month and get honed before every use.

I like the simplicity too.

I made a similar sheath for my knife. I used a 1’ “rare earth” magnet to hold the sheath in place. Before final assembly, I recessed the magnet on the inside of the sheath about 1/16th below the surface of the wood. This would keep the knife from rubbing the magnet and the magnet was powerful enough to hold the blade in place. Just an idea if you make another sheath.
