British Bayonet Frog
Ordered this for Terava Skrama 240, for which I only had the plastic blade protector. The blade protector fit perfectly, very tight with no chance of accidentally coming out.
Sheath was in perfect condition. Great deal with fast delivery. -
Glad I bought these.
They appear brown in the crappy photo but they are actually OD. Condition is new without any of that familiar surplus warehouse smell, which is certainly a bonus. Dates of manufacture ranged from 1988 to 1991. The two belt loops allow you to raise or lower your carry by 2-1/2". The loops themselves will accommodate up to a 3-3/4" belt. There are also two sets of brass wire hooks to fit belts or other gear that have the appropriate eyelets, again at two heights to match the loops. The frog has a very stout sheet of plastic sewn into the front making it quite rigid.
I purchased three to use as sheaths for Terava Skrama 200 and 240 knives from the Finnish company Varusteleka. The frogs vary slightly in size which meant one fit my plastic liners better than another, which was good in my case as the two sizes of knives have different size plastic liners. The female plastic buckle at the top of the frog is meant to mate with a proprietary British bayonet sheath. The buckle measure 1-13/16" wide, which probably means it is a nominal 2" buckle. This could be another means to carry it. It would not be too hard to cut the buckle off if you don't need it. The loop where the buckle is attached allowed me to add a simple Velcro strap as an additional retainer for the big Skrama 240 knife.
One possible con is there is no drain hole in the bottom of the frog. I may drill a hole through the front side where the plastic reinforcement is sewn in and then seal the fabric edges by heating them.
I will probably be buying a few more of these.
Packing and shipping were both handled properly.
