on the topic of this sheath... if the AW woodlore and WS woodlore are the same design.. how come this only fits the WS?

 

[Andy]

I believe the design changed slightly from the first ones to the current ones. This means that some older AW knives wont fit the sheaths

Something I've been meaning to ask, what is the purpose of the punched hole at the bottom of the woodlore's sheath ? :?:

Decoration I think

The pic shows the sheath carried underarm and the hole a the bottom is the second attachment point I think.

Edit to the above, the carry loop clearly goes nowhere near the lower hole but that is what I thought it could be used for and I didn't look at the pic in rapidboys post closely enough :roll:

The slot you see next to the firestick is the beltloop, This is a kind of 'old world' type attachment method used in Europe in the middle ages and still used in Scandinavian countries today.

Well, of course it is!! Doh! I should have realized that from the git go. It is a style that was also popular in the new world as mountain men often carried their knives that way. I was thrown off by the paracord. So I can definitely assume that there is no belt loop on the back side of the sheath?

 

[sandbender]

No, there is no belt loop on the reverse, when worn on the belt the knife carrying part of the sheath sits under the belt. I never carry it in this fashion preferring to have it under my arm. The knots on the neck cord can 'slip' allowing me to hold the knife tightly under arm or to 'dangle slightly' if I'm laying down under my hootchie or similar.

If I want wear the knife on my belt when I'm working around camp, a bit of jiggery-pokery with the neck cord turns it into a low slung belt loop.
