My modular sheath system.
Or should I say frog system?

Not that I get to carry these big knives often, but when you do leather work there's no reason not to be prepared
The shoulder or Huckleberry rig is based on the USGI tanker's pistol holster.
Not really an under arm concealment shoulder holster but more of an improved baldric.
The other is a cross draw belt frog.

Either frog fits all of these knives.
And wil fit more as long as the stud is in the same spot and the blades aren't wider than the W49.

Here they are "loaded"

These are a little rough here and there... a proof of concept if you will.
When I do them again I'll use smaller straps and hardware.
And figure out a way to sew the frogs so the stitches don't show.
As it is, I'm pretty pleased.
Big thanx to E. Scott McGhee for the inspiration on the Huckleberry rig.
