Knife porn thread

I have been carrying the higo no kami for a few months. With the weird leather semi-sheath it is perfect for pocket carry. The lanyard hangs a bit out of my pocket to keep it stable and it never opens accidently (because of the way the sheath works).

from bladeforums

"In order to improve the grip I have bought a traditional Japanese leather sheath for my higo no kami Dai, which looks like a traditional sheath for folders but is open on the back an spots a lanyard hole. You put the higo no kami Dai in this sheath, then put a leather strap through the lanyard holes both of the sheath and the knife (thereby also securing the knife to the sheath). To open the knife, pull it up and out by the protruding tang, open it and then push it back into the leather sheath with now serves as a kind of leather scales to the handle. The grip is greatly improved by this and I am told that many Japanese carry their higo no kamis this way."

anyway they are perfect for all standard pencil sharpening/apple cutting/stranger threatening duties and are legal everywhere.
