Pikal Knife Shoulder Harness (No Pockets, No Problem!) And Victorinox 2.5-inch Bird's Beak Paring / Fruit Knife With Finger Notch (Black)

The Victorinox Bird's Beak paring knife is one of the best little all-around utility knives there is. It's a great fruit knife but it's actually good for a variety of chores around the house. The problem is, there's no way to easily carry it with you around the house... until now.

I take a Victorinox knife (which has a 2.5 inch blade and polypropylene handle) and mold a thermoplastic Kydex sheath to it. I also add a finger notch to the handle. Then I rig up an adjustable shoulder harness for it out of paracord with an adjustable tensioner.

Each shoulder sheath ships with the paracord on the sheath end extra-long and tied in loose knots. The idea is, you untie the knots, tighten it to fit you specifically, redo the knots, then cut off and burn the extra paracord with a lighter. You can move the tensioner so that it divides the loops however is most comfortable for you. Then you just reach up with your right hand (or flip it and do it on your left) and draw the knife out in whatever orientation you prefer.

This makes the knife easy to carry and use for anything you might need it to do - especially for those people who don't have pockets for my standard pocket-hook sheath. It's cheap, it's well made, and it's extremely handy.

All my work ships out of the shop with my business card, containing my phone number, address, and email. If you aren't happy with your purchase, if it doesn't fit just like you want it to, or you want it adjusted for any reason, all you have to do is contact me. I'll replace any product FREE to make sure you're happy. Sheaths sometimes constrict in shipping but, more importantly, some users prefer a tight sheath and others prefer a very loose one. If you buy just the sheath, it may or may not fit your knife exactly the way it did the knife I used to mold it. All this is normal when it comes to Kydex, and I'm happy to work with you to get you what you want.

Please be advised, too, that these are all handmade. Your model may vary slightly from the one pictured, and multiple items will vary when compared to each other.

Please be advised as well that Kydex, by its nature, tends to scratch knife blades. These knives are sold as "users" and Kydex is intended for that purpose. Cosmetic scratching is normal. Also, if your sheath is a little tight at first, drawing and reinserting the knife repeatedly will loosen it up, as the soft plastic of the Victorinox handle starts to wear compared to the harder thermoplastic of the Kydex. This, too, is normal.

The knife is made in Switzerland, but the sheath is handmade one hundred percent by me, just one guy with a foam-board press and a griddle to heat the Kydex. It's ready to go out of the box once you adjust the length of the shoulder harness.
