QUICK DRAW MAG SHEATH
KNIFE SHEATH
DESCRIPTION:
Why the name Quick Draw sheath (the E-Z sheath is pretty
much self-explanatory)? Well, you may have noticed that my
knife sheaths do not have a "keeper strap". I intentionally
designed them so that one is not needed due to the sheath's
unique design combined with a precise fit, a high pressure
(20 ton) wet molding process, and 2 hidden "rare earth"
Neodymium magnets.These are the strongest permanent magnets
on earth and they make the sheath retention automatic. As
always when using powerful magnets common sense should be
used and they shouldn't be put in close proximity to credit
cards or sensitive electronic equipment.
The hidden magnets (which by the way loses almost no
measurable strength - even after decades) are an integral
part of the sheath but there's nothing inside my sheaths
that can scratch your knife. This sheath is made to last
you a lifetime and with normal use and care you should be
able to hand it down to your children... it's made that
well. My sheaths can actually be held upside down and
shaken and the knife doesn't fall out yet it still draws
well.
Most of the sheaths made here at Rawhide Leather are given
a hand-rubbed waterproof wax finish using Obenauf's Heavy
Duty LP Leather Preservative which allows the leather to
breathe while maintaining a waterproof
finish.
Not having to fumble with a keeper strap (especially behind
your back!) is a real plus - and particularly in an
emergency situation where time is of the essence. No
worries about possibly cutting a strap either. Please keep
in mind that If you should forget to use a keeper strap
with a sheath that requires one, or if the strap isn't
properly closed, you could easily lose your knife. With my
design you don't have to worry about any of that - simply
sheath your knife and forget about it until you need it
again. Like a best friend, it will always be there for
you!
