Dear THFH: Thanks for the post and the kind words, bro. To ensure that the SWAT article was done right, I wrote it myself. Denny Hansen and Rich Lucibella are good people and gave me the opportunity to set the record straight and let the world know about the knife. The Warrior book is off to the pr...

Chris, Tight lipped because as Sgt. Schultz would say, "I know nothing". Anyway, it wouldn't be my place to add any grist to the rumor mills. If you ask me if I think it'd be cool, the answer is yes on both accounts. I put sheaths on the prototype Pygmy Warriors for REKAT before they close...

Hi Mike, when you get to my Warrior, can you add a IWB loop to it? Unless the draw tension would be different for an IWB sheath and a G-clip sheath. Thanks! No problem, Chris. Draw tension is set for the attached G-clip - firm enough, yet fast. Swapping it out for the optional IWB loop would only q...

Great pics, Ian! Thanks for posting them - your camera skills definitely exceed my own. Also thanks for the kind words! Changed a couple things around in the process, and from all the feedback I've gotten so far, I've got a generic fit, so there will not be any need to send in your H1 Warriors to ha...

I do the Street Beat sheaths as a standard item that does not require sending your knife. Just got back fro Knob Creek and will have to wade through a ton of email plus spam. Might be better to do PM here.

As far as I know, automatics are legal to own in Ohio; you just can't carry them legally.

One thing I've noticed is that one of the sheaths I made fits differently (release tension-wise) on three different Warriors. Still trying to resolve this with limited shop time between shows. Trying to get things so I'll have a generic fit, although some knife designs/executions require individual ...

Actually started making the whitewater sheaths that attach to PFDs (and backpack straps) about 20 years ago, and the neck sheaths 6-10 months later. I usually do the sheaths in batches, so sometimes they're already made up, sometimes they are not. I'm doing more fixed blades than folders now, but st...

MrCharlie,

Been doing Street Beats since they first came out, so no need to send your knife. A number of threads have got pictures if you search around.

Concealex for the H1 Warrior

I've got a long history with sheaths for the Warrior series of knives and have had a few people asking for them. Pretty busy right now, but managed to sneak in a prototype with the other sheaths I was doing today. Should have some of these available soon. Features Spyderco's G-clip.

I've got a long history with sheaths for the Warrior series, just got a couple of the Spydercos, and will be working up one or two types as soon as I slow down enough to play for myself. In the middle of some consecutive shows with travel requirements,and the rest of my time right now is dealing wit...

Opinions will vary, but I like .093 for any fixed blade knife. More strength, less flex, and you can get a more consistent lock with less material covering the handle.
