Default Got fed up with my Lesche sheath....and did it right

WHY would anyone(WITH digging experience) build a sheath for a good tool....that collects dirt/mud??????

I fixed mine. It no longer has the "mud build up".


After today's hunt...no dirt ball.

Buzz's sheaths have an opening on the bottom to empty the mud out, the leather tie on the bottom just holds it closed until ya wanna empty it

Nice mod, it's the first problem I noticed when I got mine.

I feel self conscious using my Lesche sometimes. Afraid someone is going to complain. Get it powder coated pink? idk

That's a good idea. I might do this to my sheath. It's a pain having to dump out the dirt that builds up.

I have. Personally, I don't want a "solid" sheath. Not sure how to combine the Cordura and Kydex. Still thinking.........
