Sheath carry a knife?

[Benner]

Was just wondering how many here sheath carry their folder, or have tried it but it didn't work out?

I have never been one for sheath carry as I always found when sitting that the sheath would dig into me, but after the arrival of my Buck folder I have given the sheath a go and am surprisingly getting on well with it.  I can see this being a common carry option for me in the future.

Not on a folder, but do it with MT's from time to time

I think I'm too skinny to sheath carry a MT.    Slimmer folders may work out though.

Oh dear  .  I have visions of you standing in front of a mirror thinking you are a fat bloke and vowing to start a strict diet.

It's not my fault I'm big boned

Lol

I don't know why you bother starting a thread sometimes 

You two girls just use it for a slap fight 

Anyway 

I like a nice sheath but I prefer a horizontal carry mostly.

...asking...does this sheath make my butt look big?

The only folder I carried in a sheath on a EDC basis was a Buck 110...that was a loooooog time ago. I generally choose folders which I can comfortably carry inside my pocket now.

I do have a custom sheath for a Vic OHT coming soon...but it's not intended for EDC.

And if you've been around a while that's a record for those two

Did it with a gerber, but that's because it doesn't have a pocket clip. If it does I really don't see the point. I belt carry MT/flashlight/Fixed blade, but only during outdoor trips. Generally I avoid anything on my belt, it just appears too nerdy in my line of work.

I don't like to EDC anything around town in a belt sheath - knife, multi, whatever.

When backpacking I can't carry anything in a belt sheath because it interferes with the waist belt of my backpack.

For years I always carried a Buck 110 while backpacking.  After the Buck 110 was stolen I carried a Cold Steel 4" folding Tanto for several years until that was stolen and replaced with a Gerber Bolt Action.

All of those knives were carried in a black cordura nylon sheath strapped to the shoulder harness of my backpack.

A sheath mounted on your pack's shoulder strap is a great way to carry a knife outdoors.

Try it - you'll like it!

What are you two trying to imply

I like pocket clips as well, but another bonus with the sheath is that it frees up another pocket so I can spread my crap stuff out better.

I'm also surprised at how well I am getting on with a 2 handed folder.

I carry Multi's and SAK's in a sheath all the time .A lot better than looking like you are scratching your crotch every time yo try to find a SAK in your pockets .

On the, now rare, occasions that I carry a Multi I always have it in a belt pouch.  In fact anything larger than a four layer SAK goes in one.  I've never found them to be uncomfortable and, as you say, it keeps my pockets free for other crap stuff.

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

This just in...a JRE pouch sheath for an OHT with firesteel loop...

...I'm thinking about getting one for a Vic Spirit now.

[Leatherman123]

The only folder I own that I sheath carry is my good ole Gerber Gator! This is an excellent knife, IMO!

Great effort that

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

Yeah, they do nice work

I may ask for a slightly larger loop on the Spirit sheath to fit a flashlight.

...asking...does this sheath make my butt look big?

No. It´s your butt that makes your butt look big. 

I carry my spirit in a sheath sometimes, tried it with flashlights and knives too, but it did not work for me.

[kiwiblade]

always have a mt in belt carry sheath,today a new wave but most work days a gerber 600(worn out 3 sheaths in the 10 years that i have had the gerber)
usaualy carry phone and small torch on other side

[Sea Monster]

I've tried to sheath carry a knife, but I've never had a dedicated knife sheath made to size, so it's never worked well with me.


Sheathing in general depends on the pants I'm wearing and weather or not they have suitable pocketry.

[Swiss Man]

I use to carry a Swiss Tool and a Rucksack in a double .45 pouch.
 
I thought that looked better then having two sheaths crowded together on a belt.

Now I carry my Spirit in its sheath and the Spyderco in my pocket (thank God for clips).

I have gotten so use to knives with clips I can't stand having anything bigger then a Rambler in my pocket.

If I have to edc a SAK I will carry it suspended in my pocket with the 4 1858 Multiclip Belt Hanger by Victorinox.
