While designed for standard large folding knives, many equestrians "wet-mold" this leather scabbard by briefly soaking it and inserting their knife to achieve a perfect, custom-contoured fit that ensures maximum retention and a rattle-free carry.Q: Why is the angled design preferred over a traditional vertical sheath for riding?A: For riders, a vertical sheath often pushes into the hip or ribs when sitting in a deep-seated Western saddle. The Martin Saddlery angled design shifts the profile of the knife to a low-profile position that is significantly more comfortable for all-day wear and easier to reach while mounted.Item Number/SKU: KSCABAFFL
