Hi all,

Not a quite a newbie here, but this is my first post. I only discovered the Scrapyard and Swamprat last year but I've already got a collection going on.

I'm pretty stoked about the War Dog and don't want to miss out but I was wondering:

Do any of the Scrapyard sheaths fit the War Dog? I'm buying from the UK so I'd like to get knife and sheath together in one go. I figure that the sheaths aren't made for the WD but wondered if any make a good fit.

Thanks in advance!

Hey just thought I would welcome you to the yard! I dont know about the sheath though as no one except Dan and the crew have handled one.

Thanks Steeley! It's good to be here.

I guess it is going to be difficult to get an answer as the knife's only just been announced! I really don't want to miss out on this one though, and I wondered if anyone has used the Scrap Yard sheaths and could figure if they'd fit the WD.

Welcome to the yard.

I asked the same question and was informed that there are Dogs here who make sheaths for these knives. Check out rainwalkercreations.com I was impressed with his work.

I would like to know the same thing. I just received a Ratmandu, and am wondering if it and the War Dog I just ordered will fit in the six inch sheath designed for the Scrapper 6. Anyone know? I already ordered a Kydex sheath for my RMD, but the sheath for the Scrapper 6 looks like a nice option if it fits.

Hi Pilot, I got a SpecOps sheath for my RMD which works quite well. The Scrap Yard's sheaths are considerably less expensive though and I like to have a sheath for each knife.

I DON'T KNOW, but here is my 2cents. The 6 inch sheaths would probably work, but would be a sloppy, loose fit. You could MAYBE get a kydex liner specially made for it though.

On a Leather sheath note, the used to be a guy "over the pond" that made really nice holsters, operated under "Horseshoe leather" I think. You might look him up on the interweeb and who knows, he might be just down the road from you.

BTW,WELCOME TO THE YARD! CB Since you've been lurking for a while you know how it operates. glad you joined, now that you are a member, join right in amongst us, grab a bone and get ready to gnaw a while.

Thanks for the welcome SH!

I was thinking the same about the 6 inch sheath. I've got a BK&T9 that rattles in its own sheath; a knife in a larger sheath is potentially worse.

There are lots of sources for sheaths over here. I personally don't care for leather but I know folks who have good kydex-fu. I kinda like the fabric sheaths though, especially those with pockets on the front.

Welcome. I'd go with a shorter sheath made better for the blade, but that's my two bits.

Then by all means get a fabric sheath and then have a kydex insert made for it once you get the blade. ONE source for fabric sheaths is this.
