Anybody Else Put Together Big Knife Kits?

[Guyon]

I have two or three such kits--the idea being I could grab one sheath package and be pretty well prepared for issues that arise outdoors. This one is my Horton "Woods Walker"© package.

It contains: Horton Camp Blood, a Leatherman SuperTool 200, three fire straws, a Bic Mini lighter, a button compass, a Metal Match fire steel with striker, an Acme Tornado Slimline survival whistle, and a Photo II mini-light.

The Spec-Ops sheath also has plenty of extra paracord for lashing. I'd like to get some tubing to cover the top of the gear pouch and make it more water resistant. While I do like the slimmer nature of the Combat Master sheath, the gear pocket is not as well covered as on the older Survival sheath with the buckle.

Here's a pic of the knife:

They're similar get-ups in the same style sheath. I have a Swamp Rat Ratweiler in one, a Busse Steel Heart Ergo in another. My wife has a good rig like this in her pack with a Becker BK-7 in it.

Though the knives aren't cheap knives, the kits weren't that bad. I ran up on some crazy deals on SuperTool 200's one Christmas (like $15 each) in a clearance. And I bought the Spec-Ops sheaths fairly cheap on eBay before Spec-Ops hiked their prices.

Here is the Rat Pack I put together about three years ago. I'm working on another one right now but won't have the new sheath for a week or so. I'll post pics then.

Hmm.

Seems very sensible. I need to do that.:thumbup:

I made an mini kit to go with my Mini Northstar a while ago.

This little kit held a firesteel, whistle, mini multitool, a Photon LED (not shown) and PJCBs, held on with a large range band. I've since sold the knife.

I usually carry one of these Hortons. The second to the top is probably my favorite. Chuddy Bear made a very nice baldric for it.

The baldric bag my #2 golok goes in has a pocket on the front that'll take a 1 liter bottle. In that pocket I usually have a 0.5 liter bottle of water, a 4oz pair of secateurs, something to sharpen with and a bunch of hairy string. Just seems to naturally hang together.

That looks mighty Becker-ish. If so, who stippled your handle? That looks good. :thumbup:

I've considered a kit to go along with my MMHW DV8 but I think I'd have to make myself a new sheath. The one it has now is kind of sorry.

BTW, Guyon, I still hate you.

They're not quite that big, but I've put together a few knife based kits. One with a SEAL Team, a BK-7, One with an ODA, one with a Chris Reeve Aviator for my wife (still looking for a kydex sheath for that one though), I think I'm going to put an urban kit together with a TOPS "Pry-Knife"

I decided to keep my Fox 691 after testing it. I just put some paracord,compass,pace counter and pouch with sharpener,firesteel and fishing kit inside. I am looking into a nylon sheath to replace the current leather one.

Didn't you post this pic on the Swamprat Chat?
That rig is awesome! Love to see it out of the sheath.

 

[Brad "the butcher"]

Has anyone who owns a bk-7 or bk-9 NOT played around with building a kit around them with the sheath pouch and miniknife?
They are made to order for customizing.

Here's my small knife kit. Prepared for anything? No, not really. But convenient enough that it's with me all day, every day. :thumbup:
