That's too bad. Cops around here would rather sit and look at a computer in their car than do anything like hassle people for the fun of it.

My wife prefers small of back horizontal carry for her fixed blade. She carries everyday while walking the dogs. I rarely carry a fixed blade. I am really enjoying this thread. Thanks all for your posts.

There it is, the Jeep Outlaw gang. Welcome to the outlaw side of the trail my friend!
Dang, glad ya not busted up. Sounded like a deal few years back I had but more severe for ya. I was loading these three snotty steers. They kept putting me up on the fence and I mean time and time again. My legs were getting banged up cause they kept hunting me up on the fence. This was back when Canela the Flying Cowdog was still in her prime. We called her that cause it seemed like every pic we had of her her legs were all in the air, she just flew over the ground. Just a pound mutt but turned out to be the best cowdog I ever had. This was way after she retired and she was dreaming of the good old days:I used to be horseback more but not in recent times. The way our operation is set up I wasn’t on them enough to be worth a darn. Me or them. Your sheaths look like they would be comfortable horseback. A pocket sheath may not be great in the saddle, especially trying to get it out while sitting or wearing chinks.
I’m glad you ended up okay. That kind of thing could have been a lot worse. I got mucked out by a cow loading trucks earlier this summer. One of those cows that wasn’t content just getting me once and moving on. She tossed me 3 times about 40 feet total until she slammed me into the rest of the cattle in the back of the corral. I managed to stay up the whole time but I was pretty sore afterward. I should have been horseback
Finally got smart and called the dog. She came in bit the lead steer on the nose. He bellers, she lets go and turns and runs down the pen, around the sweep down the alley, through the squeeze and ducks out just at the trailer. The three steers, bellering and slinging snot come running right on her tail with their heads down charging and stomp right into the trailer. I shut the gate. Canela just sits there smiling her crooked tooth smile saying what took ya so long to ask? Yep should of been horseback.
What do ol cowdogs dream about? Stopping those crazy runaway remnants!
All that can happen fast. Rough country to cover horseback fast, washes to jump, squirrel holes to avoid and rocks, boulders, brush ya name it. Did I mention retention is important in a sheath? Sometimes it's handy to have The Wolf Pack to make those runs and stop those last few that are trying to out run ya.
Thank you sir!

That's quite a story about Canela and a great photo to boot. A person just has to love a working dog. Best one I was ever around was named Hogdog and she was the real deal too. An Australian Cattle Dog. Besides moving hogs wherever they needed to be moved to, she was famous for not letting anybody near her truck who wasn't supposed to be there.There it is, the Jeep Outlaw gang.

Miss Sadie is best at keeping the UPS man at bay and off the porch and the squirrels out of the yard. I just love watching a working dog, no matter a cattle dog, bird dog or deer hound. I just stand in awe of the instincts the Creator has endowed them with.
For fixed blade knives I prefer horizontal or angled pouch sheaths. Most of the time, this means I need to buy a custom or make it myself. Here is one I made for my Buck 117.
