Title: Leather Vic sheath question
Post by: Anthony on March 16, 2008, 08:47:16 PM: I'm looking for a leather sheath with a snap closure for my Spirit (and Swisstool, but first my Spirit :D ). I found this sheath on ebay and was wondering if the Spirit would fit. Acfcording to the measurements it should, but does anyone here own one?
And is that a real snap, or does Velcro close it up?

I can't find it on Victorinox.com, so I assume it's out of production ???

Thanks for the quick reply.

I might try and remove the velcro and add a snap to the Spirit sheath I have...Time to research snaps! :ahhh

I've got a nice Cordura tool sheath from CountyComm.com that uses both a snap and velcro. It's probably the most secure sheath I've ever seen! I'm going to use it while fishing this year to hold my Wave.
