Hey guys, i'm a new owner of this:

I dyed the micarta a deep olive drab and added SS cap screws with nylock nuts.
Anyway, i wanna see what kinda ideas yall have for integrating the allen wrench into the sheath. I was thinking about making a small custom leather pouch that could be held in place by the phillips/slot screws on the front of the sheath. The little pouch could hold the wrench and a few other little things.
Any other ideas out there? I wanna keep this sheath...just figure out a way to hold the wrench onto it.
Thanks fellas.
 
i've suggsted the tool mounting a while ago to a number of places. magically, at least one sheath maker does this :>

my BIG suggestion was to mount a "glass breaker" tip onto the sheath, that happened to be the right sized allen wrench :)

it also occurs to be that taking a short section of an allen key, threading it, and then bolting it through the bottom of the sheath with JUST enough sticking out, would work well enough? mmm.

some folx simply replace the hex bolts with slotted stainless steel models such that another knife, flat blade, or other improvised tool can do the job.

Those aren't bad ideas....but i gotta another idea i'm kicking around in my head. I'll post some pics after i finish it.
Thanks guys.
 
I just tuck one into the sheath pocket of my Crewman.... Something to be said for the old sheaths...
