Hi Everybody,

JYD 83 checking in.

I love both of these <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

the 1311 way cool choppa and the 411 is a awesome little camp knife.

here it is in its new red and black Buy Brown Original design Exposed Spine sheath.





on top of some Tacos



a couple sandwiches



and my poor lonely 411

Very cool! That orange one looks like it could double as an emergency beacon if you get lost in a snowstorm. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Great knifes and awesome sheaths.

Love that open spine design! Great work

Great pics David. That exposed spine sheath is just what I was looking for for my 1311's.

Exposed spine=nice!

Looking great; you've been busy. I passed on the 411 because it looked similar enough to the Scrapper 5 to just hold with what I've got. I'm certainly hearing good things about them though.

Nice sheaths brother. And great blades too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thank you everyone, for the kind words.

My exposed spine sheath works great with this long knife, you only have to draw a little bit then the knife is free from the sheath.

I was asked long ago if I could make a sheath like my speed draw holsters and I came up with this design.

Years ago there were a few leather and nylon sheaths/holsters that were break out designs, but the extra material covering the spine of the blade would rub against the coating or satin finish of the blade. So I came up with this design.
my exposed spine and rubber retaining strap (which I make) allowed you to draw with little no resistance once the strap is undone thus protecting the finish a bit more.

The knife is very secure with the rubber strap secured, and I use pull the dot directional snaps so that the strap will not come undone accidentally.

The added benefit is that it shows off the JYD number <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> telling the world that you are a Junk Yard Dog <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Gonna be placing an order for an olive drab open spine next week

Very nice Dave!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> As for me, I'm still waiting. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

David a couple questions:

1)Is it tech lock only?

2) can it have a balderic or strap attached?

3) can it be made into a dangler?

I'm just wondering if it can be done without the extra eyelets on the exposed side.

Thanks
MM
