About Horizontal Carry Knives

What is horizontal, or scout, carry?

Scout carry turns the sheath sideways along the belt instead of letting the blade hang straight down. That keeps a short fixed blade flat against the body, out of the way when you sit, bend or reach across a workbench. It suits a compact 3 to 3.5 inch blade better than a longer knife. See the belt knives with sheath for the vertical-carry alternative.

What size and handle options are there?

Every knife in this collection runs 3 to 3.5 inches of blade and 6.5 to 7.5 inches overall, with a horn, rosewood or bone handle. For a longer fixed blade for camp or field use, browse the camp and bushcraft knives or the skinning and gut hook knives.

Common questions

Can any belt sheath carry horizontally?

No, only one built for it. Our char leather belt sheath rides vertical on its belt loop or horizontal with the belt run under its back plate, so the same sheath covers both ways. A sheath with only a loop hangs straight down.

Is horizontal carry comfortable to wear?

Yes, for a short blade. Riding sideways along the belt rather than hanging down, a horizontal sheath stays out of the way when you sit or bend, which is why it suits a compact 3 to 3.5 inch blade better than a longer fixed blade.

What size knife works for horizontal carry?

A short blade works here: every knife in this collection runs 3 to 3.5 inches, with an overall length from 6.5 to 7.5 inches. That keeps the sheath flat and low along the belt instead of dropping below it.

How much does a Damascus horizontal carry knife cost?

Every knife in this collection is pattern-welded Damascus, priced from $99 to $109. Handles are horn, rosewood or bone, and each one ships with a char leather belt sheath at no extra cost.

What is the warranty on a horizontal carry knife?

Every knife here carries a Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Returns are open for 30 days from delivery on a knife without engraving, and shipping within the US is free.
