zuludog Report post Posted October 17, 2015 Think carefully about carrying a knife in a shoulder holster in Britain. It would almost certainly land yourself in serious trouble with the law. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steelwolf Report post Posted October 18, 2015 Its for a gift to a friend in the states who is an avid hunter . I do know about the laws in the UK . At my age knives I use are in the kitchen. I took up leather working when I landed in my wheelchair as something to do I have made a few things but wanted to make a shoulder harness for a hunting knife set that I am getting for dear friend itd for a 7" hunter and a Skinner . I would appreciate any help I can get I have seen a few online but want one that fastens like the shoulder rig for a gun . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stu925 Report post Posted October 19, 2015 A shoulder holster is broken up into 3-4 parts depending on what you're making: you've got the holster itself which in your case will be the sheath, then the strap system which is pretty simple and finally the yoke which is the piece that rides on your back and all the straps connect to, lastly you'll have a magazine holder for the off side (optional). When I built my first shoulder holster the yoke was the part that I sturggled with. I ended up deciding not to reinvent the wheel and grabbed a binocular harness that I have here, I then based my yoke off of the binocular strap yoke modifying it as needed. I would presume that you're going to want the knives to sit vertically since a 7" blade with a 4-5" handle might stick out a bit too much horizontally. I'll happliy scan the yoke template that I made and e-mail it to you if you're interested. The sheath will have to be custom built and the straps are pretty simple to make. You'll need to decide whether or or not you want to make hold downs to tie the rig to the belt but they're pretty simple to make also. Shoot me a PM if you want that template, I'll be glad to send pics of the rig I made too so you can see how it all goes together. Stu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
