Sheath Styles: The Dangler 

Good video👍🏻 I am a big fan of the dangle, for the reasons you mention, long clothes, not digging into your hip or hip belt. Its also nice for driving, you can lay the knife beside you on the seat. I don’t have a leather dangler, I have been running a carabiner through the belt loop on the sheath and then hooking it to my belt loop on my pants. Seems to work pretty good!

Krik, this video was one of your finest I've seen. I love the sheath itself, but your explanation of why you use a dangler as well as how to use it was even more instructive. I'm going to have to to check the Tandy site again just to see what hardware is available to try this myself. Thanks again!

I recently found your channel from your Mountain Hardwear review, just wanted to compliment you guys on how clean and professional your videos look!

Thanks for this video. I was wondering why people used danglers and you answered all my questions.

I have made every fixed blade I own a dangler sheath. When I'm out in the woods I am usually in a canoe or hiking with a bag on . I use my snap on belt loop on the shoulder strap of my pack while hiking. Also I prefer to make a back plate on a kydex sheath for retentions sake but knives with rubberized grips get a tight leather sheath the grip holds the knife in just fine. I have never liked carrying high on the waist even in Florida where it pretty much never gets cold . We do have thick brush in our woods tho so instead of trusting the snaps 100% I have a eyelet between the snaps I put a Chicago screw through it keeps brush from popping the snaps. And if I am not hiking through the thick brush that day I put the screw through the back eyelet of the loop or one of the eyelets on my kydex sheath. Thanks for the video I've subscribed.

Thanks Krik. I am not a fan of danglers but your video does make me realize that there are times when it makes some sense. I may try one again.

your leather work has gotten so good over the past few months. great job krik

Great insights as always guys, you know i'm friends with a guy who actually taught survival skills within the British army and his philosophy was to wear the knife around your neck and tucked away inside your shirt, etc when not in use. His reasoning was that having a knife on display is seen as confrontational when facing the public so keeping it hidden was good practise. Always good to see other peoples thoughts on these things ~Peace~

I was wanting to make a dangler for a sheath I am making for a knife that I made. I was unsure of what kind of hardware I was going to have to make. Looks like a simple ring... I can forge that... Thanks, man... I will try to keep an eye on your content. Take care...

Great video. Loved the design. Really functional and well thought out. Subscribed 👍

way to go. now everyone is gonna want a sheath. you are a talented s.o.b

My favorite "why to use a dangler" is shown at 9:15 .. just to be able to sit without problem (i carry an ESEE6, it always get in the way when sitting). Great video! I am about to Danglerify most of my knives

beautiful sheath, you've got a fantastic skill!!

Should do some videos on how you make these knife sheaths. The tools, where you buy supplies, Maybe some books you would recommend. I have this problem when i carry a load with my pack. never thought of " The Dangler " you guys are awesome! keep up the good work!

Excellent information

Good looking leather work. I'm not real fond of being poked in the side by my knife either so a dangler is great. I've even used them instead of a caribener on my pack and they work pretty good. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Nice sheath. I have made my own for 35 years simply because I usually don't care for the ones provided with my knives. I actually prefer a belly carry cross draw. I simply rig the belt loop at the angle I want so that the handle rides right at my belly button. Instantly accessible. Just my preference. Everybody should make their own. The tools needed are few and cost almost nothing, plus it is just fun to have a custom sheath for your favorite knife. Thanks for the video.

This is one of those things that make me say "why didn't I think of that ". I'm definitely gonna do this. Thanks.

Great video! Very informative! Keep up the good work

Amazing upload I really learned a lot thank you please continue to upload you help people

Looks very much like the leather belt loop for my K&E sliderule case from the 1950s. Great leather; still looks new. Sliderule still works, too.

Do a vid on how you make a sheath! They seem to have been getting better and better.

Very functional piece of equipment. I never thought about the impact that heavier layers would have to accessibility of the knife. Also good point about enabling wear with a full pack. I guess this helps explain why Han Solo had his holster slung low!

Great stuff as always guys!

Krik, nice sheath. I wish I had that level of leather working skill. Good job and great vid, Keep up the good work.

always wondered why the dangler.thank you.

That's a nice looking design for the Maura by wonder if the low handle makes it difficult to pull it out when you needed to. still great stuff

Im a fan of danglers for large knives with some paracord attaching the bottom of the sheath to my leg. You barely notice the knife is there.

well thought out

I prefer one handed retrieve for when I'm cooking but it's challenging to design one that is still secure

nice job

Great vid. you've made me look at the dangler in a different light... Thanks

That's pretty dang cool I want one

Fantastic channel, beautiful sheath etc etc. I basically concur with all the previous positive posts. However, I just wanted to offer some constructive criticism. Some parts are drawn out too much. Eg; the paracord leg strapping bit...could’ve been cut by 50% or more by removing awkward pauses, comments etc. Again, wonderful content and I am grateful for this channel. Keep up the good work👊🏻👍🏻✌🏻🙂

I just subscribe, first video of yours taht i see and I like you style. Cheers.

Great video as always guys, keep up the good work.! Would love to see some knife sharpening videos too if you haven't already done them :)

Can you guys make leather working video? Maybe show us how to build a sheathe or something similar? Thanks!

Where did you get that round carabiner?

Awesome leather work where can I get one and do you make them for any knife?

Thanks man!

I love danglers. I wear mine on the front of my thigh. I have it tied to my leg so I can do a 1 handed draw.

Casstrom sells very good and well made danglers and knives....check it out....on Amazon

Great video! Just discovered your channel and I'm glad I did! I tried finding the spring-ring on Tandy Leather and couldn't find it, any help would be really appreciated (Now I know that these rings exist, I see dozen of uses for them!) Thanks a lot!

Great video as always, wonderful sheath too, how do feel about kydex pro's/cons?

love it! hey what with the turtles comments?

Can you buy danglers?

Krik, How much would a removable dangler cost to purchase? Thanks.

Hi , can you please make a how to video on making a sheath step by step?

RU-vid suggested. When 'muted' it makes for an interesting view.🤗

Do you sell sheaths like the one in the video

What kind of pack did you use in this video?

I like danglers because having the handle stick up above the belt is very unpleasant to me. Danglers are nice for California because it gets your knife down below your shirt. If your shirt covers your knife handle, the cops might say that it is a concealed weapon.

Casstrom No 3 is an excellent dangler - with a D-formed carbiner: www.casstrom.se/en/knives/casstrom-no3-dangler.html

you could put two hole rivets at the bottom of the sheath and put paracord through that without effecting the knife! thats my 5 cents worth!

I didn't approve this product it's in no relation to me..... lol
