I know i'm not inventing the wheel here, but i've never seen anything like this anywhere so i'm proud of the idea. I also thought i'd share for those of you who like to play with leather.
The idea came when i was trying to figure out how to make my sheath both right and left hand carry. Often, i like to carry a pistol on my hip into the woods. With this the retention strap that goes around the handle becomes a problem. Usually its mounted on one side or the other, and on universal sheaths it can be found it the middle.
I am much more comfortable with it on the side, and it needs to be on the side that faces out. if i switch hips, it needs to adapt so the strap release stays to the outside. My solution, i think, solved a couple problems. First and fore most, it can move release points if i switch carry positions, but as an added benefit, its easily replaceable if it ever becomes cut. However, that should never be an issue because in one quick motion you can swivel it behind the knife and re-snap it to the sheath. This way its locked and confined back to the sheath, out of the way, while the knife is in use. Here are some pictures so you can see what i mean! What do you think?
Sorry for the last blurry pic, but you get the idea. Because this sheath it both a dangler (Hip carry) and also scout / cross draw optioned, the snap also allows the sheath itself to firmly attach to to the dangler part so it isn't just flopping around as your trying to walk. So what do you think? All opinions and criticism appreciated.
