I’ll try not to make this a long winded question but here is something I’m considering depending on whether I actually need it (long story).
1) Low profile open top. Something with the least bulge effect. If carrying on the belt I simply don’t want it getting caught on stuff getting in and out of the car. Don’t want to draw unnecessary attention either.
2) Won’t tend to dig into me (pancake ?)
3) Cross draw could be on the right if it doesn’t interfere with seat belt.
4) Keep blade at an angle slant forward. The normal vertical sheath tends to ride up and down a lot.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.
 
I have a cross draw and my seat belt goes right over it but it doesn’t hang up on the seat belt.
 
There are lots of custom leather makers on this forum who could make what you want. An alternative is a Buck nylon sheath -- it's snap down, but more comfortable than the leather Buck sheaths.
 
Gary Graley aka G2 makes beautiful sheathed for folding knives! He's a member!! I'd link him but have no clue how as I'm pretty illiterate with technology! You can use the search function then just click on one his post to go to his profile n leave a PM!!
 
Thanks James, and yes I do make sheaths that are compact you can message me if you are interested also I have made several tutorials to help people to make their own
Check at the top of this section of the forum for the sticky post that has tutorials listed

Yep his work is excellent as well as Horsewright Horsewright and Dave is really really good at pancake sheaths too so that’s probably a better fit for the OP’s needs

If you're wanting a high quality 110 sheath, I really can't recommend Gary W. Graley Gary W. Graley enough. He does absolutely fantastic work for a very reasonable price. I'm sure he could probably hook you up with exactly what you're looking for.

Here's a 110 cross-draw style sheath he made for me recently. It fits perfectly in the small of my back and is very easy to access. Great stuff!
