Mountainm Svord Sheath review

[Pignut]

I was privileged enough to acquire Mountainm's Svord sheath (mk2) and since I took delivery it has never left my side...

I love my Svord, and loved it even more after I made the scandi blade for it, anyway I thought it deserved a nice sheath, but never expected anything like this!

It is a 4mm leather belt sheath, wet formed with an angled draw, this is the bit that makes it so brilliant. Mountainm decided that an angled draw was a good idea to stop the "sticky out" bit stabbing you in the gut......... It worked

Here is the sheath and knife side by side

The stitching and construction are really second to non, with the stress areas double stitched

The knife fits snug, but not so tight it is impossible to remove

The belt loop fits snugly over my preferred belt (a happy accident)

And when it is worn around the waste it is very comfy and the low ride position keeps the "pokey" bit well out of the way

Great so far.......

The best thing discovered by accident, is when the sheath is worn at the back, you would not even know it is there

Just one more thing I like about the sheath......It looks awesome when accessorised!

All in all, if you can get hold of one of these, do it!

... Looks like I'll be upgrading to maker status then.. Thanks for the comments guys.

Once I've upgraded and got hold of some more veg tan I'll certainly be up for commissions.

What a glowing review! Well documented with some tasty photos too. Lovely looking belt too

Hey Mike, the standard of work you're producing so deserves this sort of appreciation, so becoming a maker is a natural step. Bravo.

Cheers,

some of the photos are a bit blurry, can't get used to the camera.....

The belt is a 1940's scout belt
