I have long had an appreciation for the affordable knives that comes out of the Nordic countries, from brands like Frosts of Sweden, KJ Eriksson, Normark, Martiini, Kellam, Lauri, and Mora.
In fact, when I began to make Custom Concealex Sheaths some of the first knives I made sheaths for, were these same blades.
But, it took me awhile to figure out how to make an affordable and useful sheath for these popular and affordable knives.
Now, with some experience under my belt, and having made sheaths for these knives, I have found a way to offer these sheaths at a more affordable price.
For the purpose of simplicity, I call these my Nordic Concealex Sheaths, in honour of these great knives.
These fine sheaths, built to match the Utility and Affordability of the Nordic Knives they will hold, start at only $20, shipping included complimentary to the US and Canada (shipped internationally for a very small charge, inquire for details).
Email me at marion.poff@gmail.com for ordering details.
My Nordic Concealex Sheaths offer great modularity, possessing hollow rivets and holes positioned at 1/2 inch intervals, they are built to effortlessly match up with the very best in belt attachments currently on the market.
Here is an image of some of the attachments available. And I will update this image with more attachments, as I have examples.
Of course, belt carry is always an option, and probably the most common way to carry a knife...
In this case, this Nordic Concealex Sheath is paired with a FireSteel Holder and a Blade-Tech Klip, a fine carry method that allows the knife to be removed from the belt without taking the belt off. Here are a couple images of the set-up, off the belt...
Here are a couple more ways you can carry one of these Nordic Concealex Sheaths... In the image above, showing the multiple carry attachments, the one in the top left hand corner is the mini Tek Lok, from Blade-Tech. Made for folks you use a fairly narrow belt, with it there are a number of ways you can carry your knife in it's Nordic Concealex Sheath...
Vertical. And note, you can position the clip anywhere around on the belt for the carry position you are looking for.
Horizontal. And like I mentioned above, you can move this to a location to suit you, such as cross draw, a popular method.
Canted. And like I mentioned above, you can move this to a location to suit you, such as cross draw, a popular method.
As well, with a simple bit of cord, threaded through one of the holes or hollow rivets, a whole range of carry options are available for my Nordic Concealex Sheaths.
Here is one example.
My Nordic Concealex Sheaths consist of .060 Concealex(like Kydex), thermo-fit for a lightweight yet sturdy sheath that will hold your knife securely, even while upside down. This makes my Nordic Concealex Sheaths a great solution for use on a pack strap, or on a PFD or Life Jacket.
When compared to the standard sheath that comes with these knives, my Nordic Concealex Sheaths offer quite a bit more flexibility in use. Instead of a fixed belt loop that may not fit your carry needs and that does not allow for any changes, my Nordic Concealex Sheaths allow you to carry your Nordic knife many different ways, allowing you to find the ways that best suit you. I have a couple photos showing this here... http://marioncarry.blogspot.com/2009/12/new-examles-of-my-custom-concealex-work.html
Considering inclement weather or use around water, my Nordic Concealex Sheaths offer a drain hole to allow moisture in the sheath to escape.
Finally, and maybe most importantly, I have some of the most popular knives of this type, on hand, this means that you do not have to send your knife to me, this saves you time, effort and expense.
You simply tell me which of the knives that you want a sheath for. I then make your sheath with my knife, ship it to you, and you get to enjoy the value of a Custom Concealex Sheath.
As well, a number of fine belt attachments are available, additionally. And soon to be forthcoming, attachments that will hold FireSteels and Strikers.
Finally, for your special project or need, I can custom make an attachment, feel free to email me for details.
Best,
Marion
