Left-handed Mora sheaths?

[Lister]

Anybody know if Mora do their stock sheaths in a left handed model? Strange request I know (and yes I know i can take the sheath off my belt and get the knife out with my left hand that way but I'm lazy)

I had emailed Mora but got no reply.

Some are ambidextrous other than that I dont know.

Have you thought of having one made.

It's not so difficult to make a mora knife sheat.....you could try....


These are mine

I have a right-handed leather sheath from this guy on ebay and have been quite pleased with it. He also makes left-handed.
Example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HANDMADE-...825?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cc726b291 (He has others too) * No affiliation, just customer etc

As a left hooker this thing winds me right up!

I have bought a few knives "off the peg" and end up getting a custom sheath made or opt for the knife that has an ambidextrous sheath.

Even when I bought one of the cheapy plastic thingseek you are all so fond of to see if I could get it second time around, a £10 knife is sat in a £25 sheath...... doesn't seem right!

Would be nice to see more Ambidextrous sheaths come as standard for a us freaks...... would save me a fortune!

The first sheath I made was for a Mora and I've done loads since, look at making your own as a rewarding way to have a go at learning a new skill. You'll cherish it forever!

......a £10 knife is sat in a £25 sheath...... doesn't seem right!.......

couldn't agree more, i'm left handed too (or wrong handed as it's always referred to in our house, mainly to give gemma's left wing, right on, bra burning, politically correct friends yet another reason to complain (don't criticise me, they like to complain, it makes them happy, i'm simply providing a service)), and i have the same problems. generally i get around the problem by modifying sheaths so that i can carry them baldrick stylee - a right handed sheath will usually hang somewhere under my right arm in such a way as to be comfortable to wear as well as being completely practical - i shall pop a picture up shortly, that'll make more sense i think.

ahh, but that knife feels all worm and cosy sat in his designer clothes lol. Only joking that's why I love making sheaths for the leftys as I no they struggle to get what they need, but I no what you are saying regarding not having the option.
take care.

One nice lefty luckylee and a few moras simples init .

 

[Lister]

I know i can get one made (so don't worry Lee I'm currently saving up!) but it's just annoying as hell that "everyone" is right-handed these days, I would love for Mora to make sheaths that the belt hook unclips from one side of the sheath to clip in the other way round....just grrrrrrr, still, glad I'm not alone! cack-handed forever!

I have just purchased a mora companion and stupidly didn't check the sheath re me being left handed. I have checked out the leather sheaths and I cannot justify spending £25 on a sheath. I don't know if anyone has a cheaper homemade sheath idea which they could share with me as my alternative is to just keep the knife strapped onto my daypack which is a pain. thanks and ps I also think that it cant be too hard to make sheaths with universal fittings as there are Im sure loads of lefties in the knife buying market!

 

[Joonsy]

i'm another left hander too, i just wear the plastic mora sheath on my left hip and have got quite used to flipping the handle round in my hand before inserting it in sheath, i bought a left-handed leather sheath off ebay but i didn't really like it because though it was well-made it was quite big and bulky compared to the standard mora plastic sheath.

It's a handicap innit. Remember traditional Scandinavian knives are often carried on the right for left handled people, and left for right handed people. I carry my knives on the left too (Being right handed) and it works fine

 

[Joonsy]

just a suggestion but if it's something like a mora clipper sheath you could try cutting off the top belt-clip flush with sheath's rim and somehow fixing a belt clip to the opposite side of sheath, or even use the sheath as a lining inside something else to make a left handed one.

 

[Two Socks]

I am a lefty too, and I quite often put my knife on backwards. It looks a bit silly, and I have to turn it around, but I find it easier than carrying it on the right and having to swap it from right to left all the time. This is one of the main reasons I am trying to learn leatherwork.

I blame the parents and schools for not beating this sign of Lucifer out of you left handed abominations okenest:

 

[copper_head]

Lefty here too, I just put it on backwards. No problems?

 

[marcelxl]

Really though, its not hard to make the sheaths ambi is it!?

I have to of these nasty plastic things you like and I am trying to eek the companion is R/H but the hideous orange neverlost is ambidextrous, it's infuriating!

My knife of choice right now (Temagami) is ambi, likewise my favourite necker (Barkie mini Canadian) both considered and swung the purchase because of this.

I could wear it on the other side but I don't want to........ a good excuse to get matinsheaths for my Falkies too!
