Dagger (Dirk) Knife Sheath

[Joe Gondek]

It was a lot of fun to make. I've been wanting to make a replacement sheath for my Officer Sgian Dubh that is molded to the shape of the knife and extends up the handle to hold it snuggly (and protect the kilt hose from the blade as you put it back in the sheath) Something like this though not as high.

Is this the one you were thinking of?http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/c...x.html?t=32837

I carry a knjfe, either in my sock top or boot top quite often.
Here is my 2 cents worth.

1. the knife blade should be under 4"
2. the shearth should extend @ least 1/3 the way up the handle ( as mentioned, easier to resheath )
3. the end of the sheath should br "rounded (esp. if worn in the sock.) (better "profile & less sogk wear )
4. BACK the sheath wth Lambs wool. (comfort & it helps keep it in place )
Here is a pic of the 2 kives I carry most often & the type of sheath that I recomend.
