The extras were provided by the customer - ordered from Knife Works.

I stock TekLoks myself, but this one was provided (and can be ordered through Knife Works as well - http://www.knifeworks.com/rattek-lokformoldedsheath.aspx )



And now for the pic:

(screws have not been installed, but the knife is laid in the appropriate spot)



For those of you that have kydex sheaths already - you will notice that the holes drilled in your sheath will already match up to this carry system.


The slight difference in this sheath is that the holes on both sides are drilled to match both sides. I normally angle the line of holes away from each other to give you a better angle on the various carry options (canted, horizontal, vertical). But this works just fine like it is.

I made up a special jig so that if anyone else wants their sheath drilled this way, it will not be a problem to do it.

Like I said, any of my sheaths will work if you put screws only on one side (above or below the blade, but not both).

If you want screws in the sheath across both sides of the knife, you'll need me to use the special drilling jig.


Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for looking!

Fantastic Dan ! You did an incredible job on my 'BRING IT ON' Nasty weather bushcraft set-up !
Super versatile - - mount on pack, belt, or whatever - in any position you want.
In a downpour or a snow storm, - - so what ? CPM154. Drop it in the woods ? Orange handle, find it . . and youre good to go.

Can't wait to get and use that baby. Will tie an orange para-cord lanyard on the handle when I get it and be set up for the
mountains.

All the best, - - Rob

Glad to hear you like it, Rob.

Would you be willing to post some pics here once you get it?

Showing us the different ways you like to mount it, etc?

Let me know.

Absolutely Dan. I'm not in the same location as my gear, but when I get back to where my back-packing/hunting equipment is, I'll be sure to take pics showing how this mounts on belt, pack, etc. to show you and anyone who may be interested. One of the things that is great about this is that I can wear my backpack while hunting and mount this sheath directly on the waist belt of the pack to have it readily available. It has loops for Molle gear. - - And under very tough conditions the sheath shown can be hunkered down tight. Youre not likely to have a blade flying around dangerously if you take a hard tumble while heading down a steep incline in the mountains - that sheath is para-jump proof rated. (Hmmm I could also mount it on a mountain bike that I sometimes use.)
Good stuff !
