110 orientation in sheath.

[eveled]

Is it just me? This picture of the recent release shows the 110 in its sheath wrong. Why would you stick the fat end in first? More importantly it wouldn’t be in a position to deploy when you pulled it out. View attachment 2252494

I prefer button up and towards the front. Never occurred to me there was any other way.

That photo struck me wrong, also. "Fat" bolster should be up, in my opinion.

That's the way I carry my 112's except being right handed, the knife is turned around with the blade facing to the right. But yeah, front bolster up is how I do it.

 

[Old Biker]

Pivot down with the blade facing the rear. As I pull the knife out, I pinch the blade between thumb and finger, give my wrist a little jerk and the weight of the handle opens the knife.

O.B.

I’ve always done it tip down, pivot up. Seemed to fit in there better.

Pivot down blade facing back is how I've always carried em, this is carried on the right side.

I once made a wet formed sheath and made the knife facing backwards by accident and thought it wouldn't bother me....so yeah I don't carry that sheath

Same here.

Pivot down with the blade facing the rear. As I pull the knife out, I pinch the blade between thumb and finger, give my wrist a little jerk and the weight of the handle opens the knife.

Yep. Best way to carry the 110 IMO.

I carry it with the big bolster up, tip down, blade facing back, on my weak (left) side, since I usually have my gun on my right side.

If the big (rear) bolster is up, it can’t be tip down. The tip end of the blade folds into the rear bolster. Big bolster on top has to be tip up.

AntDog you are correct. It was late. I meant to say big bolster up, tip up, blade opening to the back. On my left side at like 8 o’clock.

I agree with you 110%

Looks like I'm the minority here. Nevertheless, I felt compelled to take some pics. I don't carry a 110 but here's how I carry my 112's when I use a sheath.

Pivot up, tip down, carried on my right hip.

Here's the grip I have on the knife as I pull it out of the sheath.

Then I rotate my wrist upward and let the handle fall into the palm of my hand. Ready to deploy the blade.

The orientation of the 110 in the original post would work the same way for a left handed person carrying on his or her left hip.

 

[Grateful]

I always carried mine pivot down with the blade facing forward.

Ditto.

As as side note, I love your LT, and should have taken it's orange brother or an 112LT camping this weekend with my son. I had a 112 on my belt, but it was pretty rainy and humid here. Between sweating through my belt, and getting rained on a few times, the brass got a little funky looking.
