Kent Cutlery (Colin McIver) is a custom knife maker based in Kent in the South of England.
Soldier’s Knife
This knife was made by Colin for his friend who was deploying to Afghanistan.
He asked me to make a sheath for it and this is what I came up with! This is a complex sheath which took 4 hours to design and around 14 hours to build.
The sheath had to be MOLLE compatible, multi-position carry and able to fit a large military belt as well as housing a diamond sharpening rod.
I decided to give the sheath a custom desert tan camouflage dye job to fit in with the desert uniform. I did this by laser cutting area and detail camo templates and then double stencil airbrushing all the parts.
Have a look at the video to see how it came together!
