I bought 1...if I had more available funds, I would have bought several! :)

2 in the mail........

At the price, these should sell out quick........... :eek:

Just a FYI. I picked up a couple today. When comparing a sprint with an original issue, they are identical dimensionally EXCEPT in thickness. The original is somewhat thicker, and as such the sprint is not a secure fit in the original's kydex. It fits, but not secure enough to still be there after a good mountain bike or similar romp.

Gonna have to find someone to make a sheath, similar to this:

I make a sheath almost exactly like that, other style too. Nice sheath!!

[JT]

Sneaky all right.. luckily someone on spyderco forums is always awake, and alerting the rest of us. One Swick ordered :D

[dialex]

Yeah...I just bought four.

I think I have a problem.

Hey, they shouldn't sell more than one / person, otherwise we won't get any... :eek:

I don't see how you can carry this knife when it says it doesn't come with a sheath.

It is such a great knife you just carry it in your hand alll day long, walking (or if EXTREMEly inclinded, running) from cutting job to cutting job. Warning, stay away from the wife's shoe and purse closet. Nothing in there you can cut without hampering your marital bliss. :p

I've got a couple Swicks inbound, so will also have sheaths available soon.

Hey all, yesterday I played around with some Kydex and I thought I'd share the results ...

The Swick description states that selling the knife without a sheath was to allow for various carrying options, so I a tried out a couple of those options that were rolling around in my head.

Note: I'm a new to working with Kydex (the plastic sheeting used to make these sheaths) and to sheath making. I am still learning, as evident by the numerous mistakes I made on these, but they are all functional, so I'm happy.

Here are the 3 sheaths I made. Let's call them 1, 2 and 3 going from left to right. The #2 is a neck sheath; not much to say there. The other two provide several options for carry. Both of them can be fitted with the Spyderco G-clip (a great little clip).




Here's #3 showing the G-clip mounting location:


Note that #1 and #3 have an integral clip inspired by the G-clip:


#3 allows for my favorite way to carry; on my right hip:


I like it because my rather large cell phone pouch goes over it. With a loose fitting shirt, even tucked in, the knife is almost completely hidden:


This is also the way I carry my Mule (the perfect knife) which I have EDCed for several weeks:




The #1 sheath is for carry in the small of the back. Using the G-clip and the integral clip, the knife can be carried at a slight angle from the horizontal or vertical:




Kind of fun, ehhh?

Excellent pictures, Thank you very much

[Mike Sastre]

Not bad, MMJ. See some creative juices going there. Definitely agree on the G-clip.

Hi Jim,

Good job. Glad we were able to help stimulate your creative juices.

Just got mine. Now I have to think about sheathing.

[mueller_57]

Just got 2...great little knife. If anyone finds sheathing options available commercially please post it to the forum. I am too dumb to make my own.

I am pressing a run this morning.

Some more pics :



and some numbers on the thickness: the old version was 5/32" thick, the new one is 1/8" thick, so it's 20% thinner. (or if you prefer, the old one was 25% thicker)

Thanks Mike. Will they be available on your website? :)
