Patch knife mounting…

[Nessmuck]

Question…Do Yinz that are right handed…wear a bag on your left  side, so that you can attach a patch knife to your strap,for easy removal of the patch knife . I bought a right hand carry bag and find it odd to mount a patch knife on the strap and remove it with my right hand. Or do some folks …carry a bag on the left side and a horn on the right ? Thanks for any replies . Some pics of mounted patch knives are always welcome .

All the years of my shooting, I carried the pouch on the left and the horn on the right. I was right handed and it just seemed more natural this way. My measure (brass with a slide funnel)was mounted on the strap below the knife. I pulled the measure with my left hand, pulled the horn plug with my teeth, poured powder with right hand then returned the plug still in my mouth. I returned the horn to behind my shoulder then tapped the measure with my index finger 3 times the slid the top across to pour. Worked like a charm for me!

On a belt in a nice sheath.

In a sheath attached to the backside of the pouch.

On a belt in a sheath, but do have two mounted to the back of bags (old steel straight razor blades with deer tine handles), and 1 in a sheath attached to the front strap. My belt knife is a little large for patch knife, the one on the strap is a little hard to reach but I do like and use the ones sewn to the back of the bags.

My most used bag has a patch knife sheath on it. The bag and horn both sit on my right side. I do not find it difficult at all to removed the knife from
the sheath on the strap. Same with the starter.

Mike, I like that bag!

Looks like Mike has spent several hard winters in the mountains of somewhere living off the land and sleeping under the pines!!

I am lucky enough to own 3 and soon to be 4 of these bags by master bag maker Charlie Brown of N. Carolina.
