I went to the shop. Bunch of great people there. Gave me a tour. There is a lot more to knife making than I thought. I also told them about this site and gave the address to Chris who I see just joined up.

Outstanding. Mr. Reeve, I had the pleasure of dealing with some of your folks today, when I ordered the leather sheath for the SF knife. The young lady I talked with was as nice as she could be and very helpful!
BTW I was glad I called when I did, because, I got the last one!
Welcome to the board to both Mr Harsey and Mr. Reeve. I look forward to sponging information from your posts.
Take care.

Leather Sheath
This is what the Chris Reeve leather sheath for the Yarborough knife looks like, with the blade sheathed.
I love mine!

Unsheathed
This is the knife, and the sheath.
(Sorry, out for the snow day, and took a lot of pictures).

Thank you. I used to do that for a job, many years ago.
Dozier makes a great Kydex sheath, I don't think I put up the pictures here, so here are a couple more.

Probably a dumb question but I have to ask.
TR,
Is there any problems with the kydex sheaths scratching the finish on the knife?
I doesn't look it from the photo but I just have to ask.
Beatiful pictures.
Beatiful hardware, my compliments to the builders and the owner.
Well done gentlemen, well done.

Thank you.
The blade is covered with KalGard coating.
I have seen no marks and cannot imagine it is any worse on the blade than the moisture trapped in the nylon and leather sheaths.
Mr. Harsey or Mr. Reeve would be better qualified to answer that than I, since they have had them a lot longer.

How a knife and Kydex work together and make scratches or not depends a lot on the fit. This means Kydex fitted too tight tends to make more abrasions. We don't want any kind of "rattle" fit so too loose is not good either. Kydex tends to hold occasional grit in it's surface, kind of like how abrasive particles bonded on a paper or cloth backing made into sandpaper can abrade steel. The huge plus side of Kydex is its toughness and "cut proof" properties. The plus's far outwiegh the negatives. If you have a knife that you are trying to maintain in pristine show condition (with this group, yeah right...), it would be best to not slide it in and out of a Kydex sheath too often. For operational purposes do not hesitate to use a sheath made from this stuff. When you manage to get the knife and sheath dirty take a water hose with good pressure and just hose out the inside of the sheath to get any dust, mud or grit out at the end of a job. If your concerned about cleaning in the field a good swishing in a stream for both knife and sheath will do, just plug the knife right back in and keep going. Yes I know there are places with no said stream. Upon return to base set the sheath out upside down for drying or use some compressed air to blow it out and it's ready to go again. Bill

I did not show the back side of this sheath. It has two small holes right at the tip of the blade for drainage, just as you would expect there to be in a good design.
