In the waist band strap thingy

Hi, those were made as an example, I can make more, they only thing I wouldn't have would be the screw part that goes into the kydex sheath, you would need to provide that yourself in order to mount it to the sheath.

As to price, you can email me at chiseledge at yahoo.com

Thanks,

Thanks guys, and elof_alv that was the first thing I tried when making these, to see if the screw would fit down into the snap :) but I'd have to grind down the edges of the screw head in order for it to fit into that and since I was making it for my friend's sheaths I didn't want to mess up his screws incase he changes his mind later and needed the screws for the tek lok.

And it is a really nice knife, here is a link to a review on this particular model Brad of Bradford USA knives is a Bladeforums maker on the boards, although he's only been at this for a short time, he has some nice designs going there, started with a 3" blade and now has 4, 5 and 6" bladed versions.

I've gone through some trial and error with that. The screws I've found (no doubt there are others out there) that have the lowest profile and are still 8-32 are from Fastenal:

They're one allen size smaller - 5/64 vice the regular button head or flat head 7/32. The difference on the head is pretty small but it's enough that the snap closes all the way down. They also work with Pull the Dots but I really have to make sure the brass post inside the cap is well seated. Will try to get some photos later (taking a study break at the moment...)

edit:
snapped some photos: the Pull the Dot is on the left and you can see the male portion is a bit taller than a standard which is on the right. In the middle photo you can see how the fastener sits above the lip on the Pull the Dot and below the lip on standard. Last photo shows how flush the cap sits. The Pull the Dot sits higher but it has a taller male connector.
