Title: These knife sheaths look pretty neato.

If I had extra cash to spend on knife-leather, I'd order a few of those.

??? Hadn't noticed.

I'd probably opt for one of his simpler versions. I like the idea of having a sharpening tool carried in the sheath, but most I've seen look too clumsy. A knife is a small, light, compact, easily carried thing, and the sheath shouldn't mess that up.

Are you one of those guys with about 15 different items attached to your belt?

I've considered moving my pocket knife to the belt because these work pants just don't agree with pocket knives at all.

What I really need though is a belt holster for a utility knife. Use those more at work than the pocket knife.
