New Sheath

I just finished this sheath for my culty. It is very comfortable but I am not sure that I like this style of sheath. I just thought I would share it as I share whatever I make for my Busses. Thanks for lookin.

That does look comfy. Vertical or horizontal carry? Great job bro.

It is an IWB sheath. The stud keeps it from falling down my pants. It is a style used often in the past.

The frog (button) keeps it from falling through your belt.

I see I was too slow.

I've never seen one like that with the metal stud to keep it from falling down your leg - cool.

I've seen that feature used on large sheaths, particularly for bowies.

I like that aged color look :thumbup: Interesting sheath design. I believe that thing is used similar to a slip sheath inside the waist band?

I wish I was skinny enough to comfortably wear a sheath IWB. And I'm only about 10 lbs overweight!

I like it!

That frog stud was first used back in the Middle Ages as part of a rig that made it easier to remove the sword and dagger when it was appropriate. The frog stayed put while the knife easily slipped out. I'll see if I can find a pic, its an ingenious contraption.

Thanks for the comments. It is always a pleasure to hear what you guys think about this stuff. I think, with some modifications, this could be a good sheath design. I would like to find a way to make it sturdier without losing comfort. Also, I think I will move the stud up to the top of the sheath. Maybe a belt loop on the back will solve the problem. That's what's great about sheath making and I would imagine, knifemaking......DETAILS
