Oak Ridge Regulator Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 The biggest problem I find wearing a knife is when I want / need to remove it from my belt so this winter I came up with a quick removal sheath that snaps over my belt and has leather shelves built into the sheath that keep the knife at app 45 degree draw across the middle of my back, works slick, is very secure, goes on and off in 10 seconds and looks ok considering it’s the first knife sheath I ever made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Nicely done! Traditionally, a knife is positioned in the sheath so it is drawn against the back of the blade rather than the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traditionally, a knife is positioned in the sheath so it is drawn against the back of the blade rather than the edge. The blade actually rides against the top edge of the sheath when drawn because of the grip and the fact it’s riding high on the waist behind me, the problem is putting it back because it’s the reverse and then it does want to cut towards the stitching, I added a thick spacer between front and back to help with that, hopefully I never have to draw it for real it’s mostly because I think a gun belt should have a knife !
