    arm pit knife / sgian achlais

    I've seen a lot of pictures of arm pit knifes and have a balde that would be suitable to make a knife that would be correct for the 18th century

    The problem I have is this:
    I can't find a picture of a sheath and how they were carried under the arm.
    did they use a belt hook device and just slip onto the weskit ?

    Does any have a picture of an 18th century correct sheath and carry rig that they would like to share.

    I'm an 18th century guy born into the 20th century and have been dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
