been lashing my knife to my belt horizontally for ages, just like you said its the most comfortable way to carry a real knife without it getting int the way. i use a minimalist type belt buckle and the knife only replaces even less than what the bull-riders win at the rodeo so i feel no discomfort. thanks for the tutorial!
I love this type sheath, and really appreciate you sharing mistakes. The captions were hard to read in the time they were up. I had to keep rewinding and pausing to keep up. Love the work though. Great job.
thanks for showing all the mistakes as well, makes me feel better about mine :) I´m looking for a good design to make an leather sheath for the Karambit knife I made out of some old scissors. Think I´m going for the horizontal carry...
Smü I was hoping to see how you put the belt loops. Horizontal carry is not common here in New Zealand... I have never seen a sheath made or carried like this
Rick, I've made a few sheaths and holsters by now and I think I will revisit this project. You know, make a better one. And this carry method is not common over here in germany neither.
I wear a vest all of time I wish they can make some kind of clip that goes in a vest that makes time knife hang down for easy removal of the knife please comment back thank you for this video
Hello, Nice demonstration. What type of manual press are you using. I've only been working with leather for a few months now and find I am getting more and more interested in the antique tools that were used by artisans in the 18 and 19 century. Thanks for the look into your technique.
Nice to see how you did it. In my case of course, should I try, I might remove my own appendix or start talking like Mickey Mouse - so I think I will ask someone that are good with hands to make one for me! thanks again
1. Großartig. Ich habs mal mit einem Fällkniven F1 in einer horizontalen Kydexscheide versucht und bin zu dem Ergebnis gekommen: Horizontale Trageweise hui, Kydex pfui. Soetwas hier würde mir auch gefallen, sehr elegant. 2. Das bist doch der Smü, der sich auch mal auf ZS rumgetrieben hat, oder? Das Internet ist klein.
ad 1) Danke dafür! Nachdem ich inzwischen eine knappe Haut für Lederzeug verbastelt habe, bin ich immer noch begeistert, ich würde es allerdings nicht als "elegant" betiteln, dazu ist das zu ungeschlachten. Aber "proof of concept" ist erfolgt. ad 2) Ja, das Web ist klein.
Smü : Mit "elegant" meinte ich auch viel mehr die Idee und das generelle Konzept ''vorne, horizontal, parallel zum Gürtel' ("Cross Draw", nennt das der Connoisseur wohl), nicht die Ausführung in allen nickeligen Details. Perfekte Lederarbeiten sind eh eine Wissenschaft für sich, da kann dir jeder Schustergeselle ein Liedchen zu pfeifen...
There have been times when I have shown people a better way to do something. There have been more times where people have shown me a better way - You should have shown the correction you made. We can tell you are a craftsman, but if you are going to make videos that just tease, I personally will never watch another one from you. Not cool. Otherwise, good video.

Very nice sheath I just got done making my first knife I need a sheath like that good job
Sometimes it is good to see that I am not the only one who throws out furtive attempts at projects that go wrong. Good video. Thanks...

Exactly!
Glad I'm not the only one who has to re-do and re-do and re-do.....
When "Good knife, crappy sheath" i screamed "i see you know bark river knives too, mate" 😂
When you're talkin full sized, fixed blade knife, horizontal belt rigs/ configurations are the smartest way to go.
You don't leave the text on the screen long enough to read it
Well done Smü! Nice job
Yes Sir! SOLD! Love it!
How about more than a 1/8 second reveal of the finished product?
Arghhhhh... You don't actually show the finished sheath !!?
... Only kinda, you're right, my bad. At around 4:00 it's visible.

I look forward to seeing it. I need to try to make one myself ! (but I need to make a nice knife first
Good use for a book press, yeah thats a nice sweater but it would have NICE if you showed the freekin thing!!
Bro good video, but I want to see the end product
I wear a vest all of time I wish they can make some kind of clip that goes in a vest that makes time knife hang down for easy removal of the knife please comment back thank you for this video

What brand and model was that knife?
Great video,thanks!
Damn I would love to have one sheath like that too, for me to carry my fixed blade
👍🏼 very nice
dude has a lot of scrap leather laying around his house to have to watch other videos to learn how to make a sheath...
Nice to see how you did it. In my case of course, should I try, I might remove my own appendix or start talking like Mickey Mouse - so I think I will ask someone that are good with hands to make one for me! thanks again
You didn’t explain anything. Why did you even show the failed attempts if you weren’t going to show making the good one?
Fair point, in retrospect. I thought explaining what I did wong would be sufficient.
WIll do better next time.
Do you ever make custom sheath's for customers???? If so can I get one made if I send you my knife ???

This is called a scout sheath, or scout carry
Scout carry is on the small of the back.
@@smu1129 "Scout carry refers to a 90 degree angle on the belt, usually right above the hindquarters or sometimes under the belly button."
I didnt want to actually see the finished product anyway...
Красота! Вот бы мне такой нож.

Very fair point and thank you for the constructive critizism.
Thanks. I feel better knowing I'm not alone messing up multiple times. Now if I can just get it right. :)
Slow down some of the people that want to be able to do that are old
Wanna make me one?

Wow almost 5 minutes on ways it did not work and no time on getting it right👎
Far too much work.
nice speech NOT!
That was a waste of time
I have yet to find the „force someone to watch my videos“ checkbox. Once I find it, I‘ll disengage it. Promised.
What’s the name of the knife you used here?
