New Sheath - Ambidextrous, Horizontal/Vertical Carry
« on: April 22, 2014, 01:00:00 am »
Just wanted to share an idea I used for this sheath.  I made it symmetrical, so the front and back appear identical.  This way it can be worn on either side of the body.  Also, using this type of belt loop, it can be worn either horizontally or vertically on the belt.  This is the first sheath I've tried this with.  I had to design the sheath to be a little wider than normal, to allow for a 1 1/2" belt to be run through it horizontally, but it actually turned out ok, and didn't feel too bulky when worn that way.

Comments or critiques?  Fire away!

I was thinking of something like that this past weekend. That is a great design!

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm glad you like it!

Mcginnis, they're just some plain old wood beads I had laying around.  Bone beads would be way more awesomer though  :laugh:
