Members Highlands858 Posted April 29, 2014 Members Report Posted April 29, 2014 I'm making a belt sheath for a knife with a really wide guard. What is the simplest way to attach the sheath to a belt without having that guard get in the way all the time? Thanks! Quote
Members supercub Posted April 29, 2014 Members Report Posted April 29, 2014 Well, you could taper the welt around the blade making it thicker toward the top. The wedge shaped welt can allow a bit more room, but with a guard as thick as you show, it may be problematic. The other option is to do it like the old time sword makers and hang the belt loop off of a separate attachment. Keeping the knife in the sheath would be depending on gravity and blade length. Short blade with big guard can be a challenge. Quote
