Any know if they make an sheath suitable for small of back horizontal carry?
Or if they is another sheath suitable?
 
The RC-3 Kydex sheath is the same as the RAT-3 sheath. You can arrange it and the TekLok to go horizontal and put it in the small of your back. If you don;t like it, I would say look up Fellow Forumite Normark, who operates a tactical sheath making business (just can;t remember the name right now...somebody'll be along shortly to provide it). He's probably the most revered Kydex sheathmaker in this Forum.

I have a big problem with the RAT and RC Kydex sheaths paired with the TekLok. A complete blunder of a marriage. Neither designed their layout holes to coincide with the other, so matching up more than two configurations of attachment is painful to the point of being sickening. Piss poor would be a compliment. Contact Normark for a real rig and the RC-3 will sit back there pretty nice.
 
Yeah I am about ready to buy a decent sheath so I can edc this knife since I am admittedly in love with it.
 
Normark made me a sheath for a Rat-3 and it's really nice:thumbup:

I wear it IWB because I'm just too thin to get it horizontal :(
 
Yeah I am just going to get a Rat-3 sheath since the blade dimensions and what have you are the same just length and quality :) are better.
 
I would still check with On Scene Tactical (thx Smash05) because it's possible that Normark could make a sheath cheaper and certainly better.
 
Yeah that is what I am going to do since he has a RAT-3 sheath on sale. The RC-3 and RAT-3 have the same blade dimensions so a sheath for one fits the other.
 
One note here: if someone wants to carry low-profile in horizontal mode, then the MOLLE locks work a lot better than TEK Loks...and all the holes line up.

Shown in vertical mode here:

Also about OS/T sheats.

Mine don't have a teklok but a belt loop. Less bulky but as good.
