OK, khukuri designers, I still don't have any really bright ideas for a scabbard...and all suggestions are welcome. Blackdog?
But I feel like this idea Chris has for the multi-rig has great potential. If no sheath revelation is ever presented here, a version of traditional wood-and-leather would do just fine. The placement of the knives is up for grabs. Chris has an interesting way to put the knives in order of biggest to smallest, and it seems very good. The Nepali design puts the khukiri a little farther away, and keeps the handle from digging into the carrier's side or back. But I don't know if this is really an issue, as the only big knives I've worn are GH khukuris.
Do we want to keep the kothi, the brass scabbard tip? (Craig is going to have us speaking just enough Nepali to be dangerous) How about a provision in the end of the sheath for a tie? One could even get inventive and have a blunt kothi with a hole or 2 in it.
