Please provide an image

The same suspension arrangement is seen on the knife at the bottom post number 35 Also the Turkish knife of similar construction in post 16 I am sure countless other types of knife too....

Edit; Thanks for the update with images, certainly only one of the Kukri sheaths are suspended in this manner of the knife in question, the others are not....can't help but remember my sold item stock s117, it is frog suspended, not stictched to the body of the sheath....credits or asking permission to use copyright images would be appreciated....
