For all collectors of MOVIE KNIVES and enthusiasts of exclusive leather sheaths: we have some leather sheaths of the limited MK-9 Legacy Edition available. A unique opportunity!
Just over 40 kilometers west of the historical city of Florence, in the picturesque countryside, you will find Fucecchio. This is where the manufacturer RADAR has its headquarters. One of the leading manufacturers of holsters for the police and military sector. The combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology is the focus at RADAR 1957.
The basis for the leather sheath of the MK-9 Legacy is vegetable tanned leather of the highest quality from Valdarno. The vegetable tanning manufacturing process has a long tradition in this region and is the oldest way of tanning leather.
The manufacturing of high quality leather sheaths and holsters is still a handicraft. This becomes obvious due to the numerous processing and manufacturing steps, which are still done by hand.
The leather sheath of the MK-9 Legacy is made of seven layers of leather, including the keder. After cutting, these are brought to the necessary thickness for the respective component and then carefully sanded and glued by hand.
In addition to embossing the company logos on the back, one of the first steps in the process is to sew on the loop for the diamond knife sharpener. In many further work steps, the leather sheath is repeatedly ground and polished and the components of the push button are set. The more than 15 millimeter thick edge is sewn carefully and with a lot of experience. The leg strap is given its distinctive buckle.
The leather sheath also includes the diamond knife sharpener from the American manufacturer Eze-Lap from Carson City, Nevada - USA.
Made from solid brass, this American classic was already a reliable feature of the knife in Part II in the mid-1980s and is still so today with the MK-9 Legacy. The solid brass harmonizes perfectly with the warm brown tone of the fine leather sheath.
