I am looking for a tutorial on how to make a middle of the back belt sheath out of leather.
Thanks
Steve
 
Scout carry, or pancake with wings and belt slots? Vertical or horizontal?

Scout carry is nice because they are pretty straight forward and can incorporate a standard belt loop should you want to also carry it vertically. The loop(s) can be made so that the knife rides totally horizontal, or can be made so that the knife rides diagonally.

Not really sure. I don't know what the various types look like. He wants a horizontal carry but beyond
That I don't think he cares. Can you post pics of the different styles.
Thanks

This is a scout carry I did a while back.

The loop is offset so that it rides diagonally. I also like that the knife can be worn facing left or right.

Here's a pancake style. This is Horsewright's work.

Here is what I ended up making. The knife is a 6" dagger with 416 bolsters and carbon fibre handles.
Thanks for the help.

Hey Steve, I wouldn't mind having a sheath like that for my Black Betty. Contact me at your convenience.
