Post by: Rider on March 07, 2015, 01:24:01 PM: Looking for a thigh holster of a 7" fixed blade knife.
Would prefer to buy local (Washington State) if possible.

Thanks,

I could take some nylon webbing material that would adapt my leather sheath into a thigh holster. It'd be one piece to form a drop loop from the belt then a second piece to secure the tip. "Should" be easy enough.

I'll shoot Scott a message too. Maybe he has a better idea.
