Knife sheaths usually don’t get a lot of press. However, occasionally some particularly interesting developments in the area necessitate attention. While it may seem a rather mundane topic to expound on how to get your knife from here to there in a manner other than carrying it in your pocket or hand, there are some vehicles of transport that require notice.

Derick Kemper’s Sailor’s Delight

Smith & Wesson Bullseye Combo Sheath

The Smith & Wesson Bullseye Combo sheath holds two tools as one unit and orients them in opposite directions.

Benchmade 10 Rescue Hook Boltaron Sheath

The shape of the Benchmade 10 Rescue Hook’s Boltaron sheath is a symmetrical polygon, allowing it to cradle and engage the detent from either a left- or right-side mounting. By designing the sheath to allow multiple mounting positions, it increases the versatility of how the tool can be accessed. MSRP for the knife and sheath: $75.
