CFM chuck123wapati Posted February 11, 2020 CFM Report Posted February 11, 2020 Take a look at hatchet sheathes. I think you could adapt the design to work very well. Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

The point where you wear it will also add to that. Wearing it directly above a rear pocket would not cause much stress on the ends of the sheath, . . . as well as above a front jeans pocket, . . . in gun parley its called appendix carry. Carrying it on the point of either hip (3 o'clock or 9 o'clock) is where the stress and bending will come in, . . . especially with the pancake. Also, . . . if you do the pancake style, . . . remember to put a welt in all the way around that blade, . . . otherwise, . . . in time, it will cut the stitches you are trying to use to hold the whole thing together. The pancake style with the little snap belt coming around the handle, . . . it will also forever be a nuisance, . . . trying to get the knife out or putting it back in without cutting those straps off. May God bless, Dwight Not to mention ... Another factor is that some of us are decidedly rounder than others. - Bill Quote
