Conceal Carry: Realized with RainWalker

Ok folks...I wanted to wait a bit before posting this up, to make sure I had time to test out the design and see it work for myself.

A while back, I contacted Jeff about a project I hoped he would help me realize. I called it the Concealed Carry Concept. I figure...it's done everyday with firearms...why hadn't I seen it with knives (at least within the local community). I wanted a sheath that would sit a few degrees back on the hip, height adjustable, and comfortable. My goal was to marry the comfort of leather with the versatility of kydex designs. I wanted something that I could attach Comp-Tac clips to, to make my shirt "tuckable" for work carry.

Jeff worked with me to get a design conjured up. First rev was pretty good, but we needed some tweaks and Jeff was extremely accommodating to work with me to make the sheaths "ideal". I've adjusted mine to ride about mid-height of the total knife length.

Who would've thought an SS4 would be a good conceal carry blade? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Jeff made me Conceal Carry Concepts for my SS4, my Scrapivore, and my SAR3 (I have since sold the SAR3 & sheath, as its not seeing any use).

I LOVE THEM!! I use the Scrapivore sheath when I'm running, and riding my bike. It's like they aren't even there. Here's the SS4 & Scrapivore:


SS4 hooked into my belt (don't mind the gut...[censored] whiskey, I hate you!):


SS4 riding behind a loose t-shirt:


And, SS4 riding behind a tucked in t-[censored] (all you can see is the clip!):



Needless to say, a BIG thanks should be given to Jeff (RainWalker)...as he was able to make this design a reality. For those of you with Mud Puppy's...this would be a great sheath. Oh, and the 411 / 311's are coming!!!

Sincerely,

Max

Great concept Max <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />! Thanks for the WarDog, and thanks for the pics!

Jeff really is the best.

Jeff, sent you an email. I will take one for a WarDog.

Jeff's a nut ain't he? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

He loves nothing more that an idea and a challenge. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And then... he always exceeds your expectations with his creativity and skills. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Super duper set up Ish!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I for one love it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Jeff....you da man. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Peace,
David.

I like it. I carried IWB for years. I still do occasionally.

Awesome design and collaboration!!!!

That's a fantastic idea and a fantastic realization of the idea!

They look good and the kydex clip was a great idea. I had the same idea awhile back for my yard keeper and since I carry a firearm I thought I may as well carry a knife iwb. Here it is with my two main carry weapons.

Very nice!

That's a nice sheath. I may be out to snag one of these at some point.

And I'm guessing Jeff should expect quite a few orders one this style with ScrapYards release of #411... I'll take one in OD green!

Great idea and execution of the concept.

Nice work guys.
I'd not seen the comp-tac clips before,pretty cool.
And hollow riveting leather,wow what a concept.
I hate all the sewing that goes into a sheath,I don't know how you do it Jeff.
Thanks for the post Ish.

Great set up!

That's a pretty serious sell off you've been working Ish!

Man, that is exactly what I am looking for! Awesome set up.

Does the clip hold tight on pants without a belt or maybe in a pocket on a backpack?

Very nice also!

Thanks guys...I've been extremely happy with these sheaths. They function very well, and for places where CCW of a firearm is not allowed but the carry of a fixed blade is...I feel just a bit safer than being naked <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

One thing I forgot to mention, and in case it wasn't obvious...the Comp-Tac clips are made to "flex" away and allow you to tuck in your shirt behind them. I think Comp-Tac claims 10,000,000 flexes designed into it...so they should last for quite some time.

Yes! I use the Scrapivore on my running shorts...holds fine. I use the SS4 in my backpack sometimes and attach the clip onto an inner panel...holds fine. However, it is NOT a replacement for a good metal clip, if that is your intended mode of carry....the metal clips I've used in the past have much more tension. This is more meant to flex open to accept a belt, and close around it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

There is a method to the madness!! With B-08's, B-04's and S411's in my future....it only made sense!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I am really trying not to hoard knives anymore. I either use'em, or they move on. The new releases have triggered a lot of that for me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/2weeks.gif" alt="" />

VERY nice setup! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Very nice, Max! I've been wondering about this since you mentioned something about it earlier. I like it alot!

Excellent work, Jeff!

Very Nice set ups you have there! I have been trying to find time to finish an IWB belt loop for the War dog sheath. Want to give it a go for CCW.

I think the War Dog will do very well carried concealed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Great concept, Beautiful work <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Thats really sweet! I carried my war dog in one of Al's sheaths all weekend at camp IWB by using just a paracord loop I made. worked pretty good infact. leather would be more comfy though. I always where a A-shirt under my T-shirts or outer shirt for sweat and comfort with guns or knives . I can see a 411 dog and that sheath in my future. and maybe my RS. The mud puppy would be good also. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Very Nice Jeff.

I did something like it about 7 years ago but mine was in kydex.

Those IWB clips are super nice

Mine from 04

I'm in the process of ordering a Conceal Carry Option sheath for my War Dog in rich tan. Thanks for posting your sheath. I believe I will carry my knife a lot more using this method.

I very glad to hear that you like the sheaths, ISHI. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Dave... Great minds think alike! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> I've never seen those sheaths before but when ISHI came to me wanting the Concealed carry sheaths the overall design that I used just seemed like the way to go. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Can he do these for swamp rats as well? I dont think id need to IWD my dumpster mutt but my edc is a rodent solution atm.. and an IWB sheath like that would be awesome

I think that style sheath would work well on the Rodent Solution. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I've got an RS too (I really love the RS!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />). Just send me an email or PM and I'll be glad to see what I can do.

wondering how this would feel with a pancake sheath and the WD as my knife of choice? I like the concept and looks like it could be very comfortable.

I have been carrying my Skeleton Key lately as a inside the pocket rig, and now this thread has me thinking about the IWB method. Thanks guys!
