What should I build next?

Depends on how you have the blade oriented. I would probably have the edge facing out instead of in, which would make the blade drawing easier, and then you can rotate the handle in your hand once it's out. If you do a partially open-back sheath, maybe with kydex inserts or something, it would be pretty easy to draw and resheathe.

That would be quite entertaining to re sheath. Remind me to put a disclaimer of liability on that one.
Warning, resheathing of Machax may require surgery for an extra elbow, severing of your carotid artery, torn ligaments and extreme irritation. lol

You have to think about the mechanics of that. The curves of the Machax would make drawing like that uncomfortable to say the least.

My first thought was that I'd lose an ear with that setup. Yikes! I think the Machax, for me, is best suited in or on my bag.

Who needs two ears? Less weight that way

 

[Skystorm]

How tough are firesteels anyway? Does anyone know?

 

[EK20]

Crossdraw would be cool for the people how have to carry a knife on their weak side

This. :thumbup:

 

[Bladite]

a wood block to hold your machaxes secure...

I voted pocket, but I would also like to see a cross draw or ever scout carry sheath.

Scouts are already available on my site for the 11/14

Wouldn't that just be sticking a scout sheath in your pocket?

 

[elof_alv]

Neck sheath for 9 and 'Dundndee' rig for 11/14 or 13

Could be...But seems more versatile that way or at least to me.

 

[Skystorm]

Construction has begun on the neck and pocket sheaths. Still some designing to do on the crossdraw sheath.

I voted nothing, but I like to see well executed pocket sheaths.
