Gerber Mark I needs a new sheath. Any suggestions on who to make it?

Treestump Leather's Chris Kravitt for something traditional.
Bob Dozier's Wilderness for modern kydex.

Similar to the original; something belt/boot/pack capable. Open to both leather and kydex, and will likely get both anyway.

Amazon sells replacement Buck sheaths at very attractive prices, under $15 last one I bought. If you do a little research you can probably find one that will fit. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m513/jmr40/buck%20sheath%20018_zpsjkjunb1b.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m513/jmr40/buck%20sheath%20017_zps6pqiciis.jpg)
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

JMR, I appreciate the suggestion. Buck makes good, serviceable stuff (and I have a bunch of it), but I don't think they made anything in the same profile as the Mark I and I'd prefer a proper sheath (or two) for this one.
Damned good reminder, though, for other blade "clothing" needs.

Good suggestions on kydex. Thanks! Any suggestions on leather? Any of the forum favorites (alphabetical order!): Dave Abramson, Paul Long, Dwayne Puckett, Larry Parsons...(etc !!!), they ALL rock... In my opinion, and my EDC, is Kenny Rowe. Kenny ROCKS!!!

I found two custom sheath makers on eBay. Sherwood ![[Linked Image]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c146/rushmoreman/knife%20-%20GS%202_zpsnr0zveuj.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c146/rushmoreman/knife%20-%20GS%201_zpsdyhwye4c.jpg)

Rowe Leather Check the pics and think about a Concealment with a j-clip instead of a frog tog. I have a couple like that and they are brilliant. I won't cloud this anymore, but do a search on Kenny's method of waterproofing with balistol, oil and wax... THAT's the reason he is tops IMO...
