Uncle Bill, just wondering if it's possible to get a left mounted sheath for your Khukuris? I have been practicing drawing my Khukuris in the traditional manner, but I was wondering if one could get one for the left side. This would free up my right side hip for my HK .45. If so, how much, or I should get some more Khukuris..

Take care and thanks.
 
One of the advantages of a separate frog instead of a permanently attached belt loop is you can easily adapt the same scabbard to different carry positions -- all you need is a bit of leather or cord and you can rig it any way you want, and change back and forth between several ways if you want to. You can change from right to left with the same frog, just put it on the other side of the scabbard.

I didn't think of that (I think the cough syrup was starting to hit me about the time I wrote that post....)

If the kamis put two more small tools on the other side of the scabbard, though, then it would be more symmetrical. Hmmm ... an ear wax remover, and ... a pair of nasal hair trimming shears? Or ... for the buckskinners ... a nipple wrench and a touchhole rod?

Scottish dirk sheaths always had the pockets for the eating knife and fork on the outside of the sheath. If all the left-handed khukuri users were to marry Scottish girls then they would be honorary Scots and ... no, not a good idea; there aren't enough of the lassies to go around as it is, IMHO ... not with the demand as it is.... I think you have the right idea, Bill ... make left-handed scabbards for them....

Cougar, I'm afraid the Scottish dirks and kilts are for GUY's.

In Asia you can tell if a knife is from eastern or western Asia by the attached tool. If it's chopsticks it's from eastern Asia, if it's a small knife (and a folk) it's from mid/western Asia.

Broken Arrow,

Your think like I do.....LOL. I like using right handed sheaths for fixed blade knives so the stock on my shotgun, or rifle stock. I had marred up a couple of stocks this way and would never carry a fixed blade out in the field again on my strong side.

You can move it around, BUT this brings the sheath too close to you side: you run the risk of stabbing yourself with the khukuri as you try to re-sheath it IMHO. Accidents can happen.....the other two small handles act as guards as well!
