BuffHunter63Fixed Blade Knife with Diagonal Sheath
I am looking for a rather small 3" fixed blade knife with a diagonal sheath for wear when riding horses.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Mike ScottWe have a pair of these and we use them for everything from cutting fruit to butchering chickens and deer.
https://agrussell.com/knife/Do...k-Rucarta--DK-PESBRHThe horizontal sheath works well.
They will deliver in 3-4 months while a direct order with the Dozier shop has a three year wait list.

Texas KillartistNice, smaller knife . Dozier quality . I have (3) of the horizontal kydex sheaths. Like them so much, I’ve modified some of my leather to be able to wear them ‘horizontal .
Check out "Eagle Brand Cowboy Tack"
They sell a variety of knives set up like you want.

ForrestBAnother place to look. Good gear and good folks. Just what you described...
http://www.horsewrightclothing...es-Gallery_c_58.htmlDo a search on this site for von Gruff and you'll find that he makes both the knife and sheath that you are seeking. I have one of his knives that we designed together, it was delivered in a couple weeks and I am delighted with it.

Von GruffThanks for the hat tip Ray.
BH63, have a look at my website as there are a number of small knives there and of course the sheath can be done in any configuration you may require

BuffHunter63Thanks for all the good advice.
I wound up buying a BenchMade Canyon Hunter. MSRP was about $140.00, but I managed to get it at $100.00.
Perfect size for me and looks pretty good. I still need to tune up the blade a little, but it came from the factory fairly sharp.

Let me know how that having sex with a Buff (Cape Buffalo, I presume) works out for you.
