Before you buy a boot knife, you should know how to use it properly. You should wear a sheath for safety and place the blade in a tight spot in the boot. You should also know about local laws, as some areas may ban the carrying of fixed blades and certain concealment methods. However, if you follow these simple steps, you’ll find using your boot knife to be comfortable and reassuring in a difficult situation.
To attach the knife, wrap the sheath in a shoelace and tie it around your calf. Make sure the thread is tied at a point that does not restrict your movement. You should also check the length of the thread between the two connections. You should make sure the knife won’t hit the ground or drag if you’re not wearing the sheath. You can then secure the sheath with tape.
Once you have secured the boot knife, you should attach it to the sheath. You can do this by tying it with a shoelace or by tying it with a calf-height string. Once you’ve tied it, you’re ready to use it when you need to. Just make sure you’re checking the connection between the knife and the calf at least twice a day to make sure the sheath is secure.
