I can build your knife's vertical sheath to hang below or above your belt line. Each method of "high" or "low" carry has features that may be of interest to you. For your reference I have provided two sets of photos below. Each set, with a front and back view, are the same knife model but each hanging from a black belt is in a high and low sheath. When building a "high" carry sheath, see the ones on the left in each photo. I fold the belt loop down behind the sheath. When worn, the knife handle will be above the belt line. The knife is then out of the way when sitting down, doesn't flop around when walking, and is out of sight when out in public just by pulling your shirt or coat down over it. When building a "low" carry sheath, see the ones on the right in each photo, I fold the longer belt loop up behind the knife handle. When worn, the knife and sheath hangs below the belt line such as a very large knife like a Bowie with a crown stag handle. This method of carry keeps the handle from poking you under the arm or in the ribs. The knife may flop around when walking if it's a large knife so a leg tie-down system is recommended.
