Knife Sheath

It looks to be made for a right handed person, if it is your strap needs to go the other way. The way it is now a limb can catch it and pop open the snap and the knife may get lost. Nice job on your welt.

It is made for a right handed person, but, they wish to wear it on their left side. I didn't argue, (except about the rivets mentioned above) did as they requested.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Kevin;

In the picture it looks like you wedged the back side, is there a reason for not wedging front and back leaving the welt in the center?

It made sense to me. I only needed the wedge to make up the difference between where the very large guard rests on the back of the sheath and the top of the blade. If you can picture the knife laying on a table with the tip touching the table and the guard also and see that triangle. The blade as I have done runs exactly along the welt and the wedges just house open space. If I wedged front and back with the welt straight down the middle the welt would not have been on the same angle as the blade.

This may be all wrong, it was a learning experience and the first time doing it.

That makes sense, thanks for explaining it.
