Knife #36 - WSK Tracker

[ddavelarsen]

So Dan, the loops around the body of the sheath are what the belt feeds through? How much does this need to balance, and where, to prevent the handle dipping towards the ground? Dumb questions I'm sure but I don't want to waste any more leather than necessary to get it right. Thanks for sharing, too.

Get good at these Dave (no problem there, I know). I might be calling on you to help make these. I sence a back log pretty soon.

We'll see how it goes Roger, you know I have an aversion to 1/4" stock... But I sure like the way this thing looks, even though I can't figure out every way it's supposed to be used. Are there any articles out there that talk about the "whys and wherefores" of the design?

Thanks Ron, that's going to be interesting reading!

yes and detachable...
placement depends on the knife ,,
if I recall for this tracker I had the one almost dead center of the bal point the other strap served to keep it balanced on the belt...

Thanks Dan, that's about how I had it figured.

Looks good Roger, also looks like a dificult grind to say the least, and I bet it was a pain to put the saw teeth in.
