Design Your Own Sheath Contest!

My design is a feature request for a retention mechanism leveraging the bullseye.

Thank you for all the entries, I am actually going to pick two of them.

I will be contacting the winners shortly for color preferences and to discuss any minor alterations needed.

Cavalry style stacked sheath for a Monarch. Raised thumb welt for drawing the knife, leg tie down tab, vertical or horizontal carry using the simple straps on the back. Button/snap closure. Could throw a fire steel loop on there, but that's not for me. Considered a zippo pocket on the front, but I wanted to keep it simple.

Edit: changed to Monarch

Hi Sky,

Thanks for offering the opportunity to design and possibly win one of your fantastic sheaths.
I have a design for you I have been pondering for some time. Anyway, I carry knives, always, even though this is not strictly legal in Australia (you need an excuse, i.e. hunting, food prep etc.) so I like to have my knife sit high on my hip so it is not easily noticed, under an un-tucked shirt for example, and like to be able to remove it easily- this is not generally the case with most sheaths that need to be threaded onto a belt, especially when the sheath is at the buckle end of the belt (I wear my knife on the left hip with edge forward and draw with the right hand). Therefore I would really like a quickly removable sheath- but not by way of a clip- that is secure and rides high on the hip. I have attached a pic that I hope is understandable and can be made to work with a number of fasteners, like a buckle- for a bit of bling, snaps, those spherical pins etc. - it is also suitable for small to medium knives (I think it would be great for the smaller knives like the Patch, Hiking Buddy, BC Jr. etc.). I think there is a fair bit you can do with this design- dress it up or down, minimalist or rugged.

Thanks to all who entered.

Thanks! I'm actually a draftsman by trade, so it was actually easier for me than hand-drawing it.

I'm happy Sky chose that one out of the ones I entered, it was my favorite.
