Looking for opinion on sheath idea and who can make me one?

[maroonandwhite]

Just got in an ESEE Izula and am wanting a simple kydex or leather sheath for belt carry. I carry alot of stuff on me as most of you probably do and am getting ready to add a BUG to the mix. I don't want to look like I am wearing Batman's utility belt so I want as few separate items on my belt as possible.

I also just received a Streamlight Protac 2L as my EDC light. I am hoping to get some kind of sheath/holster that will house both of them but am also wanting opinions on this setup. Does anyone have experience with it? Am I better off with a seperate sheath and holster?

I am also interested in single knife sheaths so I can weigh my options. Please chime in if you can make me one or if you have opinions. Thanks.

I would be more than glad to help you make one, but you're on the other end of the state. I would say make a single sheath that carries two knives, and a separate light sheath so you could carry without the knives. I.E. make a sheath that has the large knife on back and smaller one on front. Edited November 5, 2012 by gjohnsoniv

Would you do leather or kydex? I won't be carrying two knive so a single would suffice. The light is a little bigger than the light I used to carry but I just discovered it clips comfortably into my left back pocket so I won't worry about a holster for it.

[gjohnsoniv]

Leather. Oh ok I was thinking one knife would be larger than the other.

[maroonandwhite]

Well I just want something simple really. Just one belt loop on the back and most of the handle exposed for quick/easy deployment. If I ship you the knife could you make something up? If so PM me your price if you can do it. Thanks!

[gjohnsoniv]

Yeah no problem. I won't charge much .

PM sent.

Here's a few options... http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?213309-Flashlight-amp-Knife-in-one-Holster-Combo

Spare mag + flashlight holsters are pretty common. Seems a fairly simple adaptation to swap the mag for a knife.

[maroonandwhite]

Well I do carry a spare mag anyways..... My main goal is to keep stuff out of my side pockets except cell phone in the left and keys in the right. Maybe I should just get a Batman belt haha.

I thought the izula was a neck knife?

Nevermind, 6.75 would be an annoying edc necker lol Edited November 6, 2012 by ProjectDexter

They call it a neck knife but I said the same thing haha. I have pretty much decided I don't want a horizontal carry sheath. I am now trying to decide between leather or kydex.

I've got a kydex guy that I like but he lives in Cali. If he doesn't have the items you are wanting to use, you would have to send them but his turnaround is great.

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]I can turn around orders normally overnight depending on size and complexity. (Unless you're putting in a large quantity order - which we can discuss)[/size][/font]

Sweet! Do you want to contact him for me or shoot me his info?

[Capbyrd]

I just sent him a message on facebook asking him to send me the contact info he wants to give you. I've dealt with him through the Atwood Toolbook on Facebook and through USN.

[maroonandwhite]

Cool. I may just want both leather and kydex options! haha
