I can\'t get my handsaw back...

...from the crews :(

I brought back a Sugoi Silky saw and scabbard from Expo. Since I'm not doing production climbing I gave it to our trim crews. They each use it for a few days and pass it onto another crew. So far, I've asked each climber if I can have the saw back. NO! They all want the Silky's :)

The first climber to use the saw found that he didn't need to push the saw down into the scabbard to have it stay. If he was moving or the tree was brushy he would bottom the saw in the scabbard. there seems to be enough friction from the way the scabbard is designed to grab onto the saw. There is a nice button right under the thumb to push the scabbard off.

The straps for making the scabbard into a leg/knee scabbard need a little work. They're OK but I'm too picky I quess :)

are the straps easily replacable with something different tom???
the straps i riveted onto my old gomtaro were the straps off my hiking sack, you know the ones to tie your tent, sleeping bag or whatever on with.
 
Re: I can\'t get my handsaw back...

Yes, it would be easy to replace the straps. The scabbard has loops molded in. I found some thick elastic webbing for my Zubat leg scabbard. I haven't been able to find a local source now that I've moved. I like the elastic because it stays in place better than flat webbing.

Tom ,

Like you, I use stretchy material for about five years now. The Material is black and about three inches wide. I had my wife sew on velcro the same with and then buckles for back up.The upper and lower strap is the linked with one inch material that is none stretch to give the right width for supporting the saw.

A pic of it .

Thanks
Greg
