I'm wanting a knife with a horizontal sheath. I figure I could make one but I'd like one already made like.

Anyone familiar with a good knife like this under $100? That Falkniven A1 with the sheath like that is a bit over my price range.

Anyone know if something like a Becker BK2 or an ESEE 4 might have them around? Like I was saying if I have to I would buy the sheath custom but to save money I'd like to see one that comes with a decent 4-6 inch blade.

(I was thinking of doing that with my Ka-Bar, because on some movie I saw a guy with a Next Generation USMC with a horizontal sheath. I'm wondering if the regular kydex sheath could be converted easily, someone told me to just run some para cord through the holes to make belt loops)
 
I carry my BK-2 horizontal all the time in the stock sheath. I took off the nylon belt loop and ran paracord through the holes in the plastic bit and it works just fine.

There it is in that pic if you look closely...

Thats great then since I'm going to get a BK2 in the next month or so (my BK7 is on the way).

Ok, so the para cord thing does work well enough. Perfect, thank you very much for answering my question and posting the pic!

Edit: got out my BK11, the kydex on it has holes for it too, that might work out well as a horizontal edc knife.

You might also want to look at Tech Lock sheaths. Many knives come in kydex that is set up for the spacing on the tec lock. vertical or horizontal, easily removable without undoing the belt or strap.
