Stop posting.

You might consider your own advice.

Aha....thank you. I will google scout carry sheaths and have a go at making one. Ive just modded an old hckory that needs a sheath. Im giving it to an old mate as a gift and it sounds like it would be a perfect way to carry on a m/cycle when he's camping.

Beware, it might seem convenient but if you go down and land on the small of your back, even just a slip while walking, that metal can be a serious problem for the lower spine. Just something to consider.

I'd personally opt for cross draw type.

Hmm, thats a thought. I remember watching a youtube video recently with an 'outdoors' guy explaining best carry options. He said best was to the side and rear. About at the 4 or 5 o'clock position. Exactly for the reason you mention.

Or, 10 and 2 cross draw.

Is cross draw where the knife is removed from the sheath just off the diagonal ?

Meaning, if you're right handed, the knife would be carried at say 10 o'clock and hanging on the belt at maybe a 30-45 degree angle. Blade tip pointed away and handle pointed at the belly button.

Terrible picture and with a gun but might help with the idea:

Valid. I've only ever scout carried what I'd consider smaller knives, most commonly my minimalist. I've usually got it at about 4:00

Gotcha !! …. saw a picture of a sheath for a folder carried like that i liked. Saved it to try and copy.

I’ve always been fascinated by scout carry because of the cool factor, but I can’t seem to get it right. The handle is either too close to my back or sticks out too much. Also not too comfortable stowing my knife where I can’t easily defend it. I can sorta make appendix scout carry work though with small knives.

Just my two cents though. I’m more of a 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock vertical carry kind of dude.

To the OP, cool thread. I never noticed Owen had a cool knife haha.

Nice riding chaps! I’ve only ever seen them from the video game Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s awesome to see them in real life.

I usually carry crossdraw (front left) with a slight slant. I've found this works just well enough to carry a pack with waist-belt over it and not be too uncomfortable for shorter hikes. I also found small-of-the-back, scout-carry ideal in Afghanistan when wearing body armor. You just don't want much dangling off your waist getting in and out of helicopters, fixed-wing planes, or vehicles and vertical carry is hard to access when seated (as is the rear scout carry, but more in reference to front/cross draw carry). I even carried horizontal on my plate carrier:

Horizontal cross-draw is also easier to access when kneeling, kayaking, even prone (if you roll to the size).

Never seen horizontal on a vest/plate carrier before. Interesting carry. I'm guessing that's more for space saving in that scenario?

Thanks! And as for issues scout carrying, for me I place it at 4:00 with the handle just barely sticking around the curve of my waist. Then I just gotta swing my right hand straight back and can grab it faster than I can right side vertical carry usually! But also like I said earlier I'm usually carrying smaller blades like this. Something bigger would probably make this harder

The perfect way to carry a knife on a motorcycle is in a tank bag, or elsewhere on the bike. Hard objects that can come between the road and your body are a bad idea unless they take the form of body armor.

Excellent thought ! Silly as it seems it never entered my head to do that.

By the way, i'm sorry i managed to change the topic of the original thread....but it has taught a layman a lot, and given me some ideas i'd like to try out.

So my thanks to you all
