The Good News - For my recent B Day , recieved Buck 110 with blade of S 30V . ( Yeah, yeah , there are even more better-er boutique steels nowdays , but for an old school 1095 loving guy like me, this is my first experementation with a super premium steel .)
But the current production leather sheaths are now of symetrical . Back in the 20th Century , the leather sheaths were more fitted as to which way they were oriented .( Yes, if you really wanted to , you change up once they were broken in , but they did have a design bias .)
As I recall, definately hinge down . I *think* that ( referencing worn on Right hip ) the bottom of the handle where the lock mechanism is faced forewards, and the blade side faced rear . I'm I remembering correctly ? ( By the '90s mostly carried in pocket, but in '70s and '80s regularly used the sheath .)
