Boot sheaths for Busse's?

[emt1581]

Hmm...I never thought of the inverted carry on the outside of the boot. Maybe I'll give those clips a try.

Thanks

Inverted carry works when done correctly, but I would not use that method on the outside of a boot.

What is good about boot carry?

I've always liked the idea. It isn't the fastest or smoothest draw. It's not something I'd prefer as a primary location. But just like an ankle gun, it's given me that option...I like options.

I won't be getting the HDD after all though. Since SY is a "sister company" of Busse they won't combine shipping and right now I can't justify the extra $15 for what would be a novelty blade for me.

Use a kydex sheath. Add a SKDS from Rainwalker (or something similar). Then add a properly sized snap loop or cord/cord-lock to the SKDS for additional but easily removable security for the grip. In the picture, I quickly added a cord with cord-lock to show what I am describing. If I were to use this for real, I'd use a different cord-lock released from top or bottom instead of the side.

With the right knife, an IWB rubber loop can be attached to hold the knife in the sheath. If you search diligently, you can find some Buy Brown kydex sheaths employing this idea.

Leather can be made however you want, also.

How about a side-release-buckle? Attach half to the sheath and half to the lanyard hole on the knife. Adjust length. Oh no!!! Here comes the part where I have to try this.

I still don't understand the desire for a boot sheath. The movies always had someone pulling one out in bar fights.

Since my feet are often walking through water, mud, brush, briars, etc., that's not the optimum location for me. Also, I like to carry knives where they can be reached more easily.

i think i get it, sounds real interesting! But, you mentioned a picture, did i miss that? Would be helpful.

You can't see the picture of the Pork Shank in a leather sheath with the green cord? Maybe the leather is more stealthy than I thought?!?!?

Here are some of a kydex sheath by Mashed Cat with a SKDL by Rainwalker with some cord and a cord-lock I threw in there to show what I'm talking about.

Sorry for the thread hi-jack...

I remember trying the whole boot-knife thing inside cowboy boots as a kid. It was uncomfortable. I'm sure you can make it work though.

Will your pants keep it concealed at all times?
