Concealex for the H1 Warrior

HotSoup · #41

Mike,
I have a couple questions, as I've already expressed interest in the Warrior and a custom sheath before with you.

-Do you make them in CF pattern Concealex?
-H-1 is a pretty soft steel, and scratches extremely easily. Do Concealex sheaths scratch the blade after repeated draws and sheathing even if its clean?

HotSoup,

I will make the H1 Warrior sheath in Carbon Fiber pattern or Coyote Brown on special request, but only do those as ordered - not a stock item. Both materials cost me a lot more than black or olive drab, so are a little more expensive. Just checked the knife I use for checking the fit and tension of the sheaths (100s of draws at speed), and there are only a couple of very minor rub marks on the blade, that you have to look closely to see. I intentionally build in some "freeplay" around the blade to minimize these. It is dirt and debris on the inside of thermoplastic sheaths that causes scratches. Rub marks come from sheaths that are too tight around the blade, or off-axis draws and re-sheathing.

Thanks for the information.
Going to keep it all in mind for the future.

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.

Are they available now? I want one.

Nice work!
I'm left handed, so Spyderco got a special place in my heart =)
I'm I right in thinking that the clip can be fastened on either side?
Or do I need to get a customized lefty made?

The Spyderco G-clip allows you to place it on either side of the sheath at various angles. Screw and post attachment - sheath body and G-clip are separate. You can also attach an optional IWB loop to replace the G-clip.

I like to think better than factory - it's a custom sheath after all. :) I've been doing this for over 20 years.
