So I undertook a little project to modify my BK 4 sheath. Took some pics of the final product, thought it turned out really well and figured I'd share it with y'all.

I wanted more convenience from the factory sheath. The first step was to remove the top handle strap. With that gone, I now had an extra snap set to play with. That got me thinking that I could install a snap on the belt loop for easy on/off.

I pulled out the Molle strap piece, cut the belt loop, and glued/sewed on the extra snap from the piece I had cut off previously.

Now it has more of a "dangle" feel, and can be removed without taking my belt off.

Anywho... pics for the impatient...











Obligatory shot of the knife itself. Apple vinegar patina for those interested.



Cheers,

Looks pretty nice! Snaps and snap setting tools can be found relatively inexpensively at places such as Tandy Leather. I have modified tool bags for years as my needs changed.
