Members Saddlebag Posted April 20, 2009 Members Report Posted April 20, 2009 I've made a few for hunters so dark leather is the order of the day plus no metal. If packing a larger knife they prefer it low on the hip with a thong to secure around the upper lag. This prevents it from getting half caught up in the jacket. No rivets. The back half of the sheath extends to the top of the hilt and a 1/4" wide leather collar is stitched just above the guard. I cut a slit on one side and feed the other side thro to prevent the knife from accidently falling out, like half a bleed knot. Deer can spot the tiniest bit of metal reflecting in the sun and vanish. I've also made a soft neck sheath with fringe to be worn around the neck. This is for a skinning knife which has only a 4" blade and small hilt. Quote
