can the sheath be hung horizontally ?

Not as sold. You would have to do some alteration and additions to the sheath. Its a good idea isnt it. But altering the sheath may cause problems of its own.

No It can't with the sheath it comes with.The knife is great,wish it had a better sheath though.

Unfortunately, the sheath was designed for vertical carry only. You can try to rig something up using nylon straps, etc, but out of the box, it just comes in a plain plastic-lined nylon sheath with a nylon loop where you thread your belt through.

The sheath it comes with does not allow you to carry it horizontally. The sheath also only carries one knife, but it is snug and tight, no shifting or rattling.

I would say 'No'. One of my heavier knives hangs at a slight angle. Not a huge problem but I'm thinking it might be much worse if it was hung vertically.

You're bit gonna find a better quality sheath than what it come with, and it can be changed to left handed by undoing two bolts, switching it, and screwing it back!

The sheath that came with mine is not loose at all. It's pretty secure, to the point where if the ax is tilted just a bit to far forward of back, it won't slide line up and fit. The top is fairly well protected by the flap that covers it.

I bought the sheath several months ago and mine is for a right hander. They may have both. You should check with the seller.

The mounting points for the TDI clip are not square, so it's not possible to rotate it. The TDI would also not be too secure going through just a belt loop in your pants, unless they were thick and wide.The sheath does have holes in it that you could always run some cord through, but it's obviously not the most convenient option.

The holes are drilled and the string comes attached. To hang horizontally you would have to drill new holes plus have the 2 existing ones on the top/bottom. Hope that helps!

I think so. But my use of this is as a backup set that lives in a backpack. So no direct experience with trying to wear the sheath.

They claim the clip can be used on belts up to 2" but a 1.75" belt fits perfect, I could not imagine a 2" fitting. Unfortunately there is no way to horizontal mount using the existing clip provided. But It would not be hard to create your own using a piece of kydex and the holes/screws in the sheath provided. There are also numerous sheath options available on other sites like fleabay. I find that the provided sheath and clip work best with a reverse hold for a defensive use. The clip can be mounted to either side of the sheath and also in either direction up or down, just not horizontally.

I am sure you can hang it both ways. Whether it works efficiently vertical might be a different story......

You could mount it horizontally with two (thin) belt keepers. Other than that I'd say get a prefab keys extruder kit and make a holster specifically for it. That's what I have for my Gerber multi tool.

The sheath does allow for both vertical and horizontal Carrie. However, the horizontal Carrie would be with the weight of this she's in tool on Velcro so I'll be a little bit hesitant to keep it horizontal all the time.

Little large for that. Maybe if on back but still a little large for carrying sideways. I don't believe the sheath is designed for it either.

Seems to be some confusion answering this, may depend on how you wear it... There is one long strap running top-bottom (if orientated as photo) which is secured by a dome clasp at one end. This can be unclipped and threaded through 4 webbing straps behind (which run horizontally, & sit one above the other). You can then run your waist belt through the same way to have the sheath mounted horizontally (as I use it)

Unfortunately no. Cold Steel does make a sheath for it, but it's sold separately. It only comes in a cardboard sleeve which is fine for storing it, but not good for carrying.

I can't say if it would work vertically. Ours is mounted horizontally, and it's GREAT!We have 5 knives, from carving size to paring knife, as well as a pair of kitchen scissors,hanging from it. No problems at all, I love it!
