Thank you for posting the additional pics <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> How is the comfort level when strapped to your thigh? Does it turn around you thigh while walking?

It is very comfortable, little movement. The only problem I have is the lack of a good belt. I am using a cheap leather belt that tends to sag and the thigh strap drops and loosens. I am waiting on a Wilderness belt that should be the cure.

River-8 is a long time SAR guy and makes these sheaths for the SAR crowd, so belive me when I tell you that a lot of miles have been put on some of these rigs!!

I like the set up. How is the Izula. I had been looking at them. Does anyone know how they compare to the swamp warden?

The Izula is great, it could use a little more handle in my opinion. But I have fairly large hands. I think it is a little shorter than the SW. I was really trying to find a SW but for the money they were getting on the exchange I figured the Izula was my best bet.

Nice outfit! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Is the pouch detachable or is it permanent part of the sheath?

It is permanent, riveted on with the copper rivets.

Awesome! It looks great, and to hear that it also feels great is functional makes it all the sweeter. A Wilderness belt will definitly solve that saggy belt problem, good choice <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I think the SOD would look good with any set up. This one is nice though.

yeah i think so too.

I think the SOD is a classic since its the perfect do it all camp knife. Almost like the CT is for swamprat.

If making your own sheath, just sew a 1" strap to the large sheath allowing enough room for the handle of the smaller knife. Then attach a holster clip to the smaller sheath, allowing for a piggyback set-up or individual carry of each knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
