Sheath for Mules ...

#1

Post by wquiles »

I have a couple of Mules, and I got some Halpern Titanium scales for them (Type 4), so I needed a good, quality sheath for my mules. Through various searches I came upon Scott Gere, so I contacted him. Today I got the two sheaths back, and I am really happy with his work - definitely first class:

(sorry this one photo came a tad dark):

Opening with the thumb is really easy - you don't have to pull/yank the knife out:

I am not associated with Scott in any way - just a happy customer. If anyone else is interested, here is the contact information for Scott:

Scott does the best work I have seen for the mules by far. I have had kydex made for mules by a few others around and none have compared.

Delica and Endura are great knives! They're the low priced crack samples that'll get you hooked on spyderco! Feed the need!

I'm in the market for 2 kydex sheaths for mules with Halpern Option 1 & Option 4. Would you mind sharing the cost?

I was planning to order from the site below, but you may have convinced me otherwise.

I ordered two sheaths from the same Option 4 knife I sent him, without the Spyderco clip (since I had them already), and it was $20 each, plus shipping back to me. To be honest, even at $30/each, I still feel it would have been a bargain ;)

Christina Gere makes all of Spyderco's Kydex/Boltaron sheaths. The "Thumb-Push-Off" feature (TPO) was created by Spyderco and is a regular feature of their sheaths.

Hmm...Sounds like a nice sheath. I currently have hands on a Perrin sheath, so I can attest that the quality is top notch.

Lovely sheath, thanks for showing us. I'm going to write to the Gere's straight away and see if I can get myself one like yours!

Sheath for Mules...

Just wanted to say I contacted SheathPro, Christina Gere and ordered two Boltaron sheaths for my M390 mules. The turnaround time was very quick and the quality of her sheaths are top notched. Sal mentioned that Christina makes all of Spyderco's Boltaron sheaths, that's all I needed to give her a call. If you're looking for a mule sheath, look no further. As close to OEM as it gets. A very happy camper. Highly recommend! :spyder:

Racer88, you can always get in touch with Christina via her email address:

sheathpro@aol.com

Should have included it above. She'll respond back quickly. Thanks.

It is much easier to get hold of them by simply calling them on the phone (listed in the brochure).

At any rate, Scott just finished making me another custom sheath for my "shorty" mule:

Just want to put in another plug for Scott's work. Here are some pictures of the sheath he made for me:

I mailed my knife to Scott on 2/18 and got it back with the sheath completed on 2/25 (and that was with 2/20 being a national holiday)! I'm very pleased with Scott's work. He was also very friendly whenever I talked to him on the phone.

+1 on Christina's work, demeanor and service. I will be ordering two more sheaths in the future based on the excellent sheaths I have already recieved.

Should I be concerned about corrosion issues if I use a leather sheath with the K390 mule?

I've purchased several knives that came with leather sheaths, but recommended not storing the knife in the sheath long term (they were O1 steel). I'd guess (no warranty from me :) ) you should be OK if you oil it or wipe it down with Tuff Glide, and use the sheath for carry, but take it out of the sheath for storage. That said, I'm planning on kydex for mine.
Which Knife, A or B? get Both! (and C, D and E) :)

SheathPro, Christina and Scott, are perfect to deal with. Great product. Great, fast service. Highly recommended. My MT17P looks just as I want it to.
