I've searched and read through the posts. Still looking for a f/b to edc horizontally on my belt.

Around 7" oal
Stainless steel
Kydex sheath, (snug/no slop fit to belt with minimal printing under shirt)
G-10 or micarta scales

For those that carry a f/b horizontally, please post pics of your setup.

Thank you

Once in a while, I like to carry my ESEE Izula 2 and wear it the same way. Rather than mounting a clip to the sheath, I wound paracord around the sheath to create two 'belt loops' to slide my belt through, and wear it just behind the first belt loop on my pants' left (for right-hand horizontal crossdraw.) It's easy to remove the knife and sheath without removing the entire belt. If I was a lefty, I'd just do the mirror-image.

If you want stainless steel, maybe have a look at the White River M1 in S35VN.

Good luck, OP!
 
I regularly carry (and use) one of these:

Recently i obtained several unused Artus Flex knives, and i'm currently experimenting a bit with one of them. All knives came complete with original box, leaflet, spare belt loops & mini-tool (to exchange them) The Rockwell hardness sticker is still on the blade. Specs: Overall...

The two that I carry most often are an M390 Bradford G3 in an Armatus sheath, and a Dozier Personal Utility. The Dozier is D2, but I've never had any corrosion issues with it. The Bradford/Armartus combination comes closer to your specs and carries very comfortably with very little printing.
 
two rigs:
top is clip on cross draw mostly worn in front next to belt buckle or just clipped to my shorts.
below is belt loop designed to be worn anywhere.
the sheaths are 'universal' for I mostly carry Wharncliffes but also the occasional 'regular' blade.
most of knives I carry are 8" OAL

I also have the same combination for vertical carry.

Thank you all for the replies and pics. Great stuff.

I was able to find a White River Knives Caper here on the exchange. Looking forward to receiving it.
