Members DaveP Posted December 31, 2022 Members Report Posted December 31, 2022 Looking for a lot of help constructing a canted sheath for a fixed blade knife. In the picture I have a pattern drawn with the forward belt loop to be folded in half. This is for a left hip orientation. Trying to use a sewn in loop as seen in picture for the second belt loop. Not sure what I'm really doing with this. So allbof your expertise would really be appreciated!! Quote

CFM chuck123wapati Posted January 1, 2023 CFM Report Posted January 1, 2023 take your sheath pattern( forget the loops at this point) and lay a ruler across it at the angle you want your belt put your belt loops at right angles to your ruler. the sheath in your first pic wont lay at the same angle as the second sheath pic it will ride at about 45 degrees and most of the handle will be way above your belt line.

Members DaveP Posted January 2, 2023 Author Members Report Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) Still confused about what the back is supposed to look like! Here's another drawing I just finished. Kinda! Pic has my knife. I've made a couple horizontal sheaths but I really like this design from pic above. Second picture is my horizontal design. It's 5 layers thick at the loop. In this drawing the 2 long horizontal lines is the belt. I'm missing something with this! Edited January 2, 2023 by DaveP Quote

Members DaveP Posted January 3, 2023 Author Members Report Posted January 3, 2023 It also looks like several layers. Just can't tell what or where they are. Quote

I'm missing something with this! this will work just fine. i cant tell from the pic either it may be the back loop also covers the slot. like it would resemble the whole triangular back shape from your loop edge all the way around the slot and be the reason the slot area is sewn in the picture/ your belt would go directly into the loop section from the slot if you get my meaning.

Members MRknives Posted January 17, 2023 Members Report Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) It appears to be a double layered sheaths and just the one loop it’s sewn back to itself. I do believe that would hold well enough Edited January 17, 2023 by MRknives Quote
