Kydex sheath
It is very important to have a good fitting sheath for your knife. It keeps the knife safe and it keeps the knife with you. So you can use it! The knife gets used, the knife gets put back in the sheath. You will see the system I have developed over time in this section. First picture is the sheath with below it a dismountable belt mount with a TacLock attached. All the parts on the sheaths and the attachments are riveted together. You cannot change it. The fourth picture is of a female MOLEs fork. the fifth is a picture of the belt attachment atached to the sheath. The sheath has a loop to hold an emergeny fire sparker. Only to be used in case of emergency. The sixth picture is the dropleg with a laced-on sheath to make it as light as possilbe on the leg. The next pictures are of a hog sheath.
Why riveted together?
Because things don't fall off when you don' need it to like so many sheaths of other sheath makers. I use a practical fast changing system which changes in the field from belt, to MOLEs to drop leg quickly.
That is why I ended upmaking my own kydex sheaths. These ridiculous notions of a 'mission specific' sheath is outrageous and does not work in the real world. Would you rather change the sheath effeciently and quickly in 10 seconds or spend time in the field unscrewing bits of the sheaths? It is completely ridiculous. The final picture of leather sheaths I used to use years ago, but from practical feedback from my users I know now that it is not at all practical for using in the field and therefore I strongly recommend you do not use this type of sheath with my knives!! What looks nice with kydex and leather and little pouches and fire steel holders falls off and becomes loose because the leather will get damp and will stretch, decay and smell. It maybe ok for a Sunday sheath, but for real long term outdoor activities this does not work at all!
