keeping a knife in a sheath without a keeper strap

[Skipknives]

Hay guys I just found this site (so I have a lot of reading to do) but howdie

I have invented a method for keeping a knife in a sheath without a keeper strap and leaving the handle exposed

so you don't need to readjust your grip like you would with a deep pouch.

The tention on the knife can be adjusted.

the following links are a three page word document explaining how it works (with pictures)

good or bad I would like feedback from folks, thanks for taking the time to read my scribbles

Welcome to the forum Skip. That's a very interesting sheath design you've got there. I also had a look at your web site, and am quite impressed with the knives you have made.

I look forward to seeing more of your work.

What a simple, elegant design Skip.

A big "DOH!" went off when I saw the construction views.

I too dislike snaps, buckles, strings encumbering tools and arms.

Very nicely done. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for sharing Skip!

I've seen Bob Loveless' video some years back where he made one that 'locked'

his 'drop-point'.

[Skipknives]

Brandon do you know the name of that video,,my latch is different from his isn't it,,Bob never made concave bolsters.

but i would like to learn more about it.

Hi Skip,

Attached are the pics of the video.

As I remembered he only mentioned how it was done but did not 'show' how its done.

I was told that he had sold his company to his cousin.

"Loveless" is a lovely name for a blade!
