When I got the Becker Necker, I wanted to figure out how I would do it with the On Scene Tactical sheath. (Warning to Eric: sorry I am about to bastardise your work)

Due to the fact that the On Scene Tactical sheath being a folded kydex, it necessitates grommets on only one side unlike other sandwich type sheaths. With the sandwich type sheaths, it is arguably easier to latch the sheath to something or something onto the sheath(as will be demonstrated with the original later).

First thing I did was swap the standard belt loop for one of Eric’s larger versions. The main reason I did this is because I liked the knife just a tad higher than that possible using the shorter belt loop mounted to the grommets proximal to the sheath mouth.

(Don’t worry, the ugly, old rotten zipties are junk things from my desk drawer and used for the purpose of demo. I will use quality, tacticool black ones)

The upper holes of the belt loop needed to be tied to prevent the belt from slipping into this area due to flex.

Zip-tie through the belt loop serves two functions. It adds a tad extra security of the belt loop to the sheath. Moreover, the zip-ties serve as sort of tension springs to prevent the rig from sliding horizontally on the belt. If you have a thick belt, maybe not a problem but belts like my BlackHawk rigger makes for easier slip.

The original KaBar sheath which I had been carrying in the vertical position. (Btw, butterfly weave is a great method to keep a malleable, quickly useable source of paracord)

CERICKSSON and I had talked about how he rigged his PS to his Gerber with Paracord. Never got around to checking it out but this is what I came up with quickly. CERICKSSON, chime in and post when you can.

This actually isn’t that bad. It allows for hugging of the pant loop so that there is no sliding(as shown in previous post). There will be vertical movement unlike when the paracord crosses over but that’s the nature of the beast when you must rig a multi tool.




Which one do you like?

Exercise of overdoing? Yeah probably because it’s too easy to just guntape the two together :D :p

The obvious high speed-low drag way would have been to be smart enough to ask Eric to make a kydex sheath for my SOG Powerlock too so that using longer screws and use of the rubber spacers, one can just sandwich the two onto a belt loop.

The other thing I believe Eric has done in the past is having a sheet of kydex acting as a belt loop for a typical cordura carrier, which is fastened to the knife sheath.
