THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT A REVIEW SO, WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES!
I ordered a molle back last week for my ESEE-6, it really seems like a no brainer because the carry options out of the bag, (molle locks), don't offer a whole lot of options.
I was hesitant to get the molle back because to me the price seemed a little high, you can get the molle back for the 3/4 for 20$, but the one for the 6 will cost you about 45$ To me that seemed like a large jump, more than double.
Any way, having received the product, I think it is worth the $ and really offers a lot of carry options that you can't get any other way. It turns the molded plastic sheath into something that, if you were to get from a custom sheath maker would cost you quite a bit more $.
So here we go..
Here is what it looks like with the knife in it, most people have seen this before, and know that it is not purple like you see in the picture, not sure why it came out like that but it is indeed black in reality..
As you can see it comes with everything you need to attach it, and comes with paracord for the piece of material that comes over the pommel to make it jump proof. I will not be jumping out of a plane with it, however there is not doubt in my mind that if I ever did, it would stay put. Here is a picture with the flap over the pommel making it jump ready:
The top and bottom of the sheath come apart so that if you wanted to put the knife on a bag for instance you could remove the top part and just use the bottom of the molle back to secure it to a pack or whatever you wanted:
Here is what the molle back looks like:
As you can see there are many, many options with this piece of gear. Here is another picture or two:
Another thing that I did not realize right away is that there is a belt loop integrated into the top of the molle back. It is large enough to fit any belt:
Another side shot:
I am very happy with my purchase now that I have had the piece in hand. It opens up a world of carry options that just did not exist without it. This is what a sheath setup should be. ESEE has really done it with this product. Their attention to detail is matched by no other knife company that I know of. Their following is well deserved.
If you are on the fence about purchasing this product, I would highly recommend that you pull the trigger on this one. At first it may seem like a lot of $, but it is well worth it. This is a great product!!
