Sheath ideas

[SaguaroKid]

I'm trying to figure out what kind of sheath I want for my SFNO LE? I carry my 4" Ruger Red Hawk on my strong side (right) so I was thinking knife on my weak side, like a cross draw. I really haven't seen any cross draw sheaths. Could I sit down with a cross draw? I'm thinking leather also, since it's a satin blade. I just don't know. My brain hurts.

To me, cross draw is one of the most natural ways to access your knife. I carry all my smaller knives in this configuration.

Depending on how your rig is made, you should always be able to sit without any trouble other than adjusting the sheath angle a bit. A large enough belt loop will allow you to do this.

You can go with either a randall style pouch or a high ride for cross draw. Here is a pic of a randall style pouch belt loop designed for cross draw:

Here is what a high ride belt loop looks like. Now this type of carry sometimes isnt the best for Busse knives as they tend to be handle heavy so it would be constantly wanting to either drag out from your body or downwards. But some love theirs regardless of this.

Hope this helps a little, please let us know if you have any further questions! And please post pics of your rig when you get it!

Maybe a 7" blade is too long for a cross draw?

Not at all, most sword rigs are cross draw.

The weak side carry allows for a longer draw, thus the ability to carry a longer blade easier. Think about the contortions necessary to draw a large blade from the strong side.
