I've had quite a few questions regarding IWB carry with the G-shaped belt clip that I've been making with my sheaths so I decided to take a couple of pictures to illustrate how well it works. Keep in mind these work great without a belt also and OWB as well.

Please forgive the color combos, I just used a reject green clip with an orange sheath. I also tried the sheaths with a leather IWB belt loop and it works as well although it's questionable and I'd much prefer the clip to the leather loop for these short sheaths.

And one of my boy who's not quite 3 yet. He really wanted to wear camo pants today because daddy was and of course whenever the knives and sheaths come out he has to "play" too. Here he is with the Scrapper 5 IWB:

When you move around, bend over, sit, etc., are you conscious of the knife or sheath poking you in the side or gut? Just wondering how comfortable it is when your actively moving around.

Im looking forward to trying the IWB when my sheath arrives

For me personally, the method in the first picture is better than the second in that regard. You'll notice it straight vertical but I imagine you'd get used to it. When it really comes down to it, these sheaths are better worn on the outside of the belt because the Izula is so thin anyways. Then you can wear in any orientation from horizontal to vertical or canted at a 45 degree angle and they're all comfortable.

I only posted these pictures because so many people have asked about IWB. While it will work either way, I think for the majority who try the belt clip outside the belt they'll realize there's no need for IWB.

It should be there Wed. at the latest. Definitely try OWB also and let me know how you think the two methods compare.
 
Ha you got me with the last pic, I was like WOW that is a huge knife, then I noticed the tiny hands and well you got me. Yeah, my 2 yr old daughter is always carrying mine around too.

He stuck it in his waistband like that all on his own just from watching me. It's a good thing I've taught him to always leave the sheaths on. :D
 
Nothing wrong with little ones knowing how to handle knives! Our little one has had her own collection since before she was two. Has always practiced knife safety. Even goes so far as to instruct adults who mishandle knives (which is when she gets the don't tell adults what to do lecture...again).
