Mexican Loop Style Knife Sheaths

[Josh Ashman]

Two more Mexican loop style knife sheaths. These are part of a larger order that includes the "wild bunch" type rig I posted a few weeks ago.

Thanks for looking,

Josh

Man, those are good looking rigs.

Excellent work. I like the way the basketweave turned out.

Those are great!

Very nice , is that a friction fit or is the sheath attached ?

Thanks again!

Kevin,

The skirt is friction fit onto the sheath. It's tight enough that you'd have a hard time getting it to pull out if you were trying. The sheath portion is made with a welt so although the knives are snug they pull out pretty easy. Between the two I decided not to bother with tying the skirt to the sheath. On a similar styled holster I do tie them through the back with a 1/2" saddle string through slots tied with a bleed knot. Since my holsters are made to fit very snug that keeps the pouch part from wanting to pull out of the skirt part when drawing. Kind of a long answer for a short question !

Best regards, Josh

Here's a picture of them prior to finishing the assembly. It helps give an idea of how they go together.

Have a good day,

Very good, thanks for taking the time and posting the pictures to explain that.
