I’m curious what clip attachment the sheath experts like for carrying 8” (OAL) fixed blade In waist band?

so far I have tried:

Ulticlip: secure With or without belt, but sharp edges can rip your hand when drawing quickly)

Bladetech loop: secure fastening to belt, useless without belt, does tend to cant blade handle outwards for more obvious printing issues

spyderco g-clip: decent all around but bulky and does not have great retention for IWB (ie on jeans)

G-code IWB clip: very secure when wearing belt. Cants handle in towards body slightly, which helps reduce printing. Not adjustable for lateral cant (ie it just mounts vertically to a holster, can not rotate) and practically useless unless you’re wearing a gun belt.

Ideally, I would love a mix of the g-code’s inside cant angle and overall construction, combined with a clip mechanism that allowed one to carry it clamped to shorts without need for a belt, and ability to rotate at the attachment point to allow for a 15’ carry angle.

Any other ideas?
 
If you are making your own Kydex (or similar) sheaths, you can just mold the clip into the sheath as you are making it. You would just have to decide which side you want the clip on, and you could even angle it as you desire. Alternatively, you can use eyelets, which would allow you to screw on IWB loops, etc.
