    The Self-Opening Sheath™(SOS™) from Flamingo and Rob's Tools will be entering production and shipping within the next two weeks.

    Initially it will be available for three waved knife models. The Spyderco Waved Delica, the Spyderco P'Kal, and the Kershaw-Emerson CQC-6K. The P'Kal and K-E sheaths also accomodate the P'Kal Trainer and the Kershaw-Emerson E-Trainer. Shown below are photos of our prototypes. A few minor changes will occur in production runs. We will reduce the number of mounting holes to two, following industry standard spacing. And holes that have shock cord through them will have rivets in them to help prevent any sharp kydex edges from cutting and fraying the cord. Also, our fit and finish is a refining process and these are functional prototypes, meant to demonstrated and tested, not look pretty.

    We have opted to use Velcro One-Wrap to secure the sheath over the belt. We have found this works really well, as in better than any soft loop. For trainers we're substituting the black One-Wrap for a blue hook-and-loop wrap, to allow you to have a bright color indicator for training folders.

    Even though the sheaths are generally the same, minor dimensional differences in trainers and live blades exist. So, make sure you buy a Trainer sheath if you intend to use it with a trainer. Because it will be set up slightly differently than a Live sheath. It's minor, but it will save us and you a headache.

    When it is go time there will be an automatic discount calculator for every two Self-Opening Sheaths bought there is $5 off (so two for $45, or four for $90, etc).

    We won't take your money until we're ready to ship.

    Sometime next week. I know, I know - we're teasing you guys a bit - but I wanted to get the actual proto pictures out this week.

    Link on IG not showing for you? I'll check it out.

    Will a Kershaw 6055 work with it or is it too big? I'm buying one regardless because I really dig Spydercos but curious. I'll find a Spyderco somewhere.

    The 6055 will be too big. Plus we've molded pretty tight to the 6034 handle form. I cannot confirm it, but I suspect the CQC-7K will also work. The handle and dimensions appear the same as the 6034 and E-Trainer.

    ETA: We will have P'Kal, Waved Delicas, and K-Es in stock tomorrow.
