sam the man.. · #1

Fellow Spydernuts,

I would like to pay tribute to Mike Sastre of River City Sheaths. This AWESOME dude makes the most AWESOME neck sheaths I'd ever came across! I've packed em all over the world and there's nothing bad I can say about them sheaths except : THEY ROCK! When it comes to neck sheaths for your spydies, Mike's THE MAN! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Nice pic Samo,

I've been toying with the idea of neck sheaths for some time now. As "worldly" and experienced as you are down in the nanyang, I'd take your word on them any day. Thanks for your input on them! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

<b>Hope the leg heals real soon. </b>

Well I only have one of Mike's sheaths, but I'm impressed. I like it alot. Since my pockets are full it makes it easy to carry my Mouse around my neck. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Hey Lsaulog!
Thanks for the well-wishes dude! I saw some Olive Drab sheath on Mike's website! Thinking of getting one for my Military..

Hey Samo...

Is that a concealed Spydie I see hidden in that implant? No, guess not... just a shadow. Oh well, it would have been a good idea. We would have then called you "Sheath Samo".

Mend well,
Gary

Can the sheaths be made so the "hole" is at the top, and the butt is down? Pachucks

How much are they? I would like to get one.

Dude ~ The sheaths retail between US$25-35. Mike has most of Spyderco's models covered in his line-up. Check out his CF-checkered pattern sheaths! They are AWESOME! I have my sights set on the Olive Drab colored Military nech sheath.. Hey pachuks, the butt-down hole out method eases deployment! Believe me, once you pack these sheaths, yo'll want more! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Well, maybe one day, I have a customise military neck sheath that allows horizontal carry conversion with a mini teklok! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Do they have any for the Rookie. How much would that be? If they are like 10-15 dollars I would get one. What are they made of?

Yeah, I think the Rookie is covered.. But you'll have to raise another 10 bucks to get it though.. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> The sheaths are made from concealex, a thermoplastic material with RC hardness at 56-59.. Good stuff! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Samo- looks like someone quite skilled worked on that leg. Should heal just fine, given time. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

About the sheaths, is it possible to get one which carries the knife in the open position?

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

Rookie · #15

S&S, are you crazy<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> Why would you want one in the open position while you are carrying it.

I have a sheath that carries a PE Delica in the open position. It was intended to be legal on planes...Pachucko

I think S&S wants a sheath where he can just pull out his Spydie and have it usable, not need to flick it open after unsheathing. At least that's how I read it. I really can't see anyone wanting a sheath, so you can carry the knife with the blade out. *shrug* <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Thanks Sword and Shield! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
Yeah dudes, I've seen a sheath that allows the spydie tp be carried in "open" position. Its really cool to have, but if you wade in water a lot or remain seated for a long time in a boat, its better to have the knife folded. Mike's concealex sheaths are solid in that way.. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
