Interesting, I didn't realize Blade-Tech had proprietary ownership of the tek-lok design.

Spyderco uses them on the Forester, Woodlander, and Dayhiker.

Aside from the early leather ones, Spyderco used Tek-Loks on all their FB sheaths until couple years ago when they started switching over to the G-Clip.

Hi Rob,

As Deacon mentioned, we did work with Blade Tech some years ago.

Originally they made some sheaths for us for the Moran and a couple of other models. Then we began using another maker and that maker purchased Tek-loks from Blade Tech. The Hossoms were advertised and shown using Tek-Loks so they will continue to do so until they're gone.

We worked with Mike Sastre to develop our "G" clip, which we use on our fixed blade lknives at this time.

It has been a number of years since we've worked with Blade-Tech.
