You wouldn’t happen to have any photos?I run my knife parallel to the belt. I also run a crotch strap so the belt doesn't slide or move in position, making it easy to find my knife or belt clip. My knife is on the large side. I use a custom knife. Made by Hiko Ito called the Kanaloa.
I run the knife parallel mostly so I can see me putting the knife back.
I used to run my knife on my leg, but ended up getting tangled too often. I then tried my arm, but it always loosened or cut off too much circulation. It also got tangled a lot there.
I can not really picture it, does it get caught on anything?I have an inch or 2 of line holding my knife to my belt so it sort of dangles close. I never feel it but its always there when I need it.
What staps/how do you attach it?I carry a knife like that on my forearm. Its instantly available and isn't lost if I drop my belt.
How do you attach it to your belt? I could do something similar to the knife I already haveI have been using a Gerber Exo Mod but it is a rather small knife. It's just a utility knife probably useless for fish or heavy rope but it does come in different sizes and styles.

It is just a wide piece of nylon webbing with a standard plastic tri-glide buckle. Thicker webbing helps keep it from being floppy or coming loose.How do you attach it to your belt? I could do something similar to the knife I already have
I have the rob Allen belt, the belt can move side to side sometimesIf your belt moves, you don't need to do anything with your knife. You need another belt. Buy a rubber one. Better if marseillase.
I have a knife in my belt, sometimes my belt moves the the knife is uncomfortable in my hip or belly
does anyone mount their knife parallel to their belt?
the knife I have is similar to the photo

Please don't wear your knife on your belt: the knife has many uses, but its primary function is to cut you out of an emergency. The sort of emergency in which you would also need to jettison your belt!I have a knife in my belt, sometimes my belt moves the the knife is uncomfortable in my hip or belly

I understand the knife is there to help me if I get entangled but i can’t see a situation where I would not be able to reach my beltPlease don't wear your knife on your belt: the knife has many uses, but its primary function is to cut you out of an emergency.
