One of the banner advertisers here at knifetalk forums has a few model two Randalls for sale with oddball sheathes.
They are a clamshell or pancake style with a brass belt clip. Take a look at Miles Welze' vintage RMKS, neat looking sheathes. What can the experts here tell me about them? (I got no dog in the fight)

Wally, I have had a few of those. I believe they were mostly 70's sheaths for 2-4 and 2-5's. The could work on a 24 as well. They would be good for boot or IWB carry.

Made by Johnson and 100% legit

Thanks Mitchell. They look too good to pass up, even in my limited experience, they haven't been common to me. The Capn' bought something similar at BLADE last year, with ( I believe ) an unusual model 15 in it. Got any pics, Capn?

I haven't seen sheaths exactly like those. However, on a visit to the Randall Shop (in the late 1970's, maybe?) I saw this cute little Model 2-4" in the case. When I bought it, they brought out the sheath, a boot knife sheath with a brass boot clip (or belt clip?). I kind of like the leather flaps on the sheaths Miles shows--they would protect the knife's handle, and maybe your leg, when the sheath is clipped onto a boot.

I picked this one up a few years ago...... the blade has been blued. It's an 80's knife bases on the gray-ish center spacer.

It's the only model one I have seen with this sort of sheath.

Here is a similar 2-4 to Steve's, but with the snap on the clip as well.
