In Non-Regulator news...need pants suggestions

Hi Yard!

As you may recall, I got a High Street from my brother for my birthday last month.

I was wondering a couple things:

1. Do any of you dawgs have a High Street?
2. If so, what pants is your knife currently sporting?
3. If so, who's the maker?
4. If you don't have a High Street, or you don't have pants for it yet, what style would you recommend?

And for the visually motivated-





All opinions appreciated. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hey Brian, I don't have a High Street, but if it were me I'd at least go with leather. Then I'd probably get black and I'd talk to Jeff (Rainwalker).

I like kydex for my Scrappers but anything with a "fancier" handle I think leather looks the best. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I don't have a HighStreet but if I still did I would go with a pouch stile. A Rainwalker in exotic would be cool.

I've got a naked High Street too and I like Joe's suggestion.It needs some good leather pants. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It's just a sweet little knife,great choil & forward thumb ramp for choking up.Very comfortable in the hand. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, folded!

Jeff's making a folded sheath for my CGFBM!

It's gonna be nuts!

The grail?

That is one WICKED looking blade! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Yep! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I really like BB one piece folded Kydex. I think you have some already, or maybe that was your bro.

I've gotten pants from both David Brown and Rainwalker who are members on this forum. Both of these guys do top knotch work and have been open to ideas for custom details. If I'm getting sheaths made then I'm going to stick to these guys. I'm sure other guys do nice work but I highly recommend contacting either of these guys.

I kinda wish I had picked up a high street.

Man, hard to say who.

Kydex--David Brown, Steel Nut from BF, and Mashed Cat is who I have. I say go with DB since he is a member here.

Leather--Rainwalker, Savage, Holloman, and Chuddy Bear. RW and Savage are both members here and I like them both. RW can do magic as you saw with my MPLE sheath.

Nylon--SY for a DF and a Spec-Ops. Neither of these offer anything for the blade you have.

Make it a good one since it is going on a psecial good looking knife!

Mine is in a black leather pouch style sheath I got from Green River just after I bought the thing at the show last year.

FWIW - Mashed Cat is also a member here, under the name "Grandsuave". He doesn't post much at all, but whenever a new release takes place, he buys a copy and makes great kydex. Just google "mashed cat kydex sheath" and you'll find his website. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I also have several kydex sheaths from Rainwalker and Buy Brown. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />



I also agree with some above that leather would be excellent for that knife. For leather, I would go with Rainwalker, Chuddy Bear, or Armorall. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

My high street rests in a buy brown kydex sheath and it works quite well. I had contacted rainwalker a while back to see about having him make me some leather, but then he never contacted me to tell me he was ready to start my sheaths, and money got tight so i didn't press the issue.

If it's a user, the BB kydex works great and has excellent retention.

I'm pretty sure I'd like something leather.

I wonder what Jeff's backlog is now? :|

I'd like to carry this a bit this spring, but with no pants...*sigh*

Spring? Hmm...

You'd have to ask him, but my guess is "no".

It's a long list. Worth it, but long.

I think he is still 6+ months out but I would ask.

For a inexpensive sheath, the Green Rivers are good. You can do a little "home boning" and make them fit even better.

Harry Savage makes good inexpensive leather sheaths too, and his turnaround time is very good. My Regulator, S5LE, and SoD all have Savage Made sheaths.

StabbyJoe, your PM box is full, so I will just reply here...

They were around $50 a pop, and he takes off $10 if you don't get the sharpening stone pocket. A great deal IMHO.

Or just click the link in my sig. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

believe my brother walking around without pants is not a pretty sight.
