A small sheath designed to secure a blade against the wearer’s lower leg, typically constructed from materials like leather, nylon, or Kydex, provides a discreet carrying method for a small fixed-blade or folding knife. This method allows quick access to the blade while keeping it concealed under clothing.
This carry method offers accessibility and concealability for individuals requiring a readily available edged tool for professional or personal use. Historically, such concealed carry methods have been employed across diverse cultures and professions, evolving from rudimentary sheaths to modern, purpose-built designs emphasizing security and ease of access. The development of advanced materials and construction techniques has led to more comfortable, durable, and secure options.
