i have a ANDY WAYNE cardboard sheath & it is well built Yep, you’re one of the few who do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Although actually yours isn’t cardboard. It’s the better quality corrugated plastic I ripped off a phone pole. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> but does yours come out of the sheath when turned upside down? Nope. As Vance said, it’s custom made by tracing the knife. It’s an exact fit, just as a quality leather one is. Here’s a pic showing it “cut to shape”. As you can see, it would only fit in one way. With time though, if you use it a lot, the tape stretches a bit, THEN it will fall out upside down. It doesn’t bother me though, it’s secure enough for use around the yard. I don’t plan on being upside down, and if I am, where my knife is will be the least of my troubles. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> My original sheath you see there for the RM is still going strong with no repairs needed. I’ve used it for 2-3 years now. Kinda funny that it’s for my most valuable knife, a $350ish RM that I still don’t have a proper sheath for. ![[Linked Image from i6.photobucket.com]](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/andywayne/Knives/Swamp%20Rat/camosheath/mini-02-02-06-30.jpg) the yard has the resources, in its people, to create its own elite private society. i say we pool funds, buy an area in the woods, develop on our own, and fence out the world. I always thought that’d be cool too. If we all lived together in one giant gun/knife/outdoors community. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

so I over did it a little with the duct tape and the cardboard sleeves that my scrapyards came in and decided to do a piggy back "sheath", where I could attatch my yardkeeper if i needed too. here it is folks... complete with intergrated knife falling out of cardbaord sleeve stopper... I have a patent on this so watch out! this is one of my quailty pieces of practical craftsmanship and design. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> (watchout jeff and dave!) ![[Linked Image from i214.photobucket.com]](http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc216/tomorrowrememberstoday/KNIVES/LynnsPictures068.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i214.photobucket.com]](http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc216/tomorrowrememberstoday/KNIVES/LynnsPictures069.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i214.photobucket.com]](http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc216/tomorrowrememberstoday/KNIVES/LynnsPictures070.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i214.photobucket.com]](http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc216/tomorrowrememberstoday/KNIVES/LynnsPictures071-1.jpg) and so here is how you detach the yardkeeper. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> ![[Linked Image from i214.photobucket.com]](http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc216/tomorrowrememberstoday/KNIVES/LynnsPictures072.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i214.photobucket.com]](http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc216/tomorrowrememberstoday/KNIVES/LynnsPictures073.jpg) tada! ![[Linked Image from i214.photobucket.com]](http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc216/tomorrowrememberstoday/KNIVES/LynnsPictures075-1.jpg) the fruits of my labor... my roll of duct tape is slimmed downa bit after this. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Well done. Has anyone ever noticed that a sheath has never been made of strapping tape(packing tape)at least not to my knowledge. Not a challenge...just an observation Dan

I think mine takes the cake <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Leg strap, belt loop, drop leg... total package for carry. Shweet!!! ![[Linked Image from i235.photobucket.com]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee292/The_Aaij_1/DSC_0009.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i235.photobucket.com]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee292/The_Aaij_1/DSC_0010.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i235.photobucket.com]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee292/The_Aaij_1/DSC_0011.jpg) I'm just kidding. Though this was fun to make. I'm gonna keep it knowing that when I buy more FBMs they won't come with sheaths and I'm gonna have to get a custom one. Decent temporary sheath. Funny enough though, I actually did take the sheath out for a hike. This was the winter hike in the Gorge, if anyone remembers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />. It held up well.

fun to make but should never be a replacement for a fine quality custom rig from Rainwalker. You wouldn't buy a new corvette and then put used tires you found along the side of the road on it would you?
