My old Higo sheath has given up the ghost, and i'm thinking about making a new one with a modification, but i'm a little concerned it moght no longer be classed as non locking...
The design is simple, a tube of leather which slides off the knife up the cord to allow the knife to open, then back down again to make a softer/slightly larger handle
The modification i'm thinking of this time, is a metal ring on one end (leather folded over it so its non remoavble); this ring can be placed over the finger catch on the tang, the part you usually hold to stop the knife closing
Although i still wouldnt trust it in the same way i can with a full tang, i wonder if it might be considered a lock?
This is my EDC 75mm blade
