[QUOTE="Dmc707, post: 4263400, member: 54876"] Just a show n tell post - but i am soliciting opinions on someone who could make a sheath for the bottom blade -- an Explorer Wilderness - I have 2 of them and although a custom sheath would cost more than these kinives are worth - why not? Gotta carry the darn thing somehow to use it I was a kid in the 80's so who wouldnt want a knife with a compass in the cap, and the ability to carry a garrote wire , some fishing line , hooks and matches in there too ? The black Explorer Wilderness 2 - (5" clip point bowie style) was actually carried by me in DS1 - my dad bought it for me for my 14th birthday and it accompanied me on lots of childhood adventures and culminated with a tour in the sandbox Knife's not visible in the pic but is probably on my LBE --- never had a concern about this rather fragile knife design not holding up because i used it for things that you historically do with knives (cutting things) ---- not for splitting wood or doing prybar stuff Just getting old and reminiscing on a Sunday i suppose ----- but i would pack that serrated knife in a truck box or something for sure with a better sheath [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/ABwro3b.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/kJI1JCl.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/ozoanL9.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/8lDJpbM.jpg[/IMG] And since i went down the rabbit hole of 80's knives and DS1 -- heres the stuff that was issued -- very old school Navy MK-2 survival knife and IMO the best US issued knife of all aside from a Randall's Raiders Bowie --- the original multi tool -- i still have it and use it regularly !
