hi all, First post!

I have just bought a Mtech 018 boot knife <is actually a dagger but hey> and while i like the knife as a whole, its solid, full tang and great for £5 and preforms all the tasks i need it too <opening things that dont want to be opened> I cannot figure out the boot sheathe.

There is a picture here

<they say it is jtech, it says mtech on the blade>

basically i dont see how i would attach it too a boot a belt or anything because if i were to clip it ojn the blade would be hanging down instead of up?

can anyone explain this too me?

thanks!

Tom
 
Welcome to Bladeforums! :)

That's how they work. The sheath is supposed to be tight enough to keep the blade from falling out. If you wear it on a belt under a shirt or jacket or inside a pants leg, you couldn't withdraw it easily if the handle were up because pulling up puts it even more inside, but pulling down drops it into your hand.

Combat ready. :cool: (Don't tell that to your local police!)
 
ok thats fair enough if it was on my belt or on a shoulder rig but how would i wear it on or in my boot?
 
If your boot is tall enough -- it is supposed to be hanging outside the boot upside down. Preferably covered with pants. If not -- pehaps the clip could be unshrewed from sheath and fixed "right" way (to be able to hold it with handle up). If not (could not see clip side on photo) -- no idea what to do, besides tearing it off and making new one.
 
BTW -- Name "Boot knife" shall be taken with a grain of salt, and sometimes -- rather huge one. Sometimes makers call "boot knife" any fixed blade in clipped sheath, no matter what size of a boot would it take to tuck their creation into ;) .
