Stockman style knive cases

[topknot]

Hi,
Two bespoke knife case's i have made for a chap who wanted to carry his knife like the Bushtucker man (stockman style).
The one with the flap is for a s. a .k hiker the other is for a stockmans knife.
Thank you for looking.

wow very nice wrok there chap. I especially like the stockman one. Would you make any more for a few beer tokens, maybe for a fixed blade?

Very nice indeed, not that I'd expect anything else!

Out of curiousity, on the first one, was there any reason for stitching the belt loop together where you did? Though thinking about it, connecting it underneath the pouch side would have made it much more difficult to attach the pouch to the straps.

Hi,
It would mean stitching from top to bottom of the case right in the middle, the knife would rub on it. The way i made it was to keep the case close to the belt.

Here's some pictures on my gallery of a similar style made up for me by Longstrider, for my British Army Knife, which is my everyday folder. Worn horizontally on my belt to the left of my belt buckle at the front.

Nice one.
I have never thought about wearing one but after making them and getting the fit right lts time i made myself one. No more catching the case on the car seat etc.
