Thought I'd show you guys how I pimp a Svord and make a friction sheath for it,I grind a little off the back of the blade and a bit off the top front and a bit off front and back of handle.The cutting edge is now UK legal at less than 3in.8457845884598460Now to get on with the sheath.

I love the svords think they are a great knife but they def need a little care when I got mine I had to regrind it evenly then I used a Lansky on it razor sharp. I really love this mod great work on the knife and the sheaths!
