Hiroaki Ohta stag folder

Post by Ringo »

This is my first post. I went to the Chicago Knife show and found this 2 7/8" folder with Indian stag by Japanese knife maker Hiroaki Ohta. It's a good size for pocket carry. I probably won't carry it because it's so nice. I took this photo. Let me know if you like it.

Thanks to all for your comments. Welderbob, do you have any suggestions as to where to get a pocket slip for a knife that size.

I don't have any pocket slips, but this is at the top of my list

After searching around, I think I will go with a Case or Henkels brand pouch for my little Ohta. The Case size small looks about the perfect size. Anyone have either of these pouches? Are they for storage or can you EDC with them?

I have some of the Case leather/suede pouches. I think that they are more for storage than carry unless one of the two has a belt loop. Seems it would be a hassel to get to the knife; pull pouch from pocket, open pouch, remove knife from pouch. I think I would go for one of the leather pocket sheaths posted. JMO
