Mora Robust Lefty Sheath Mod

[DaleW]

I got a Mora Robust a while back and I like the knife a lot, but the newer Mora sheaths are all right handed and I'm a southpaw. I've been collecting tools to start experimenting with Kydex, but in the mean time I wanted to get the knife over on my left side where it belongs. I was looking at a photo showing how another Mora with the "button hole" in the belt clip could be mounted on the outboard side of the Robust sheath and the lightbulb went on. I cut the belt loop off the Robust sheath, re-contoured the top of the sheath where the cut was made and did the same on the bottom of the cut off belt loop. All that was left was to clip the liberated belt loop onto the stud. Instant Southpaw Mora sheath.

I had some concerns about it staying put, but when you think about it, the stud is meant to mount another Mora on and it takes a lot of force to disengage it. The knife still stays put in the sheath and it can be rotated as needed. Of course it sits a little higher but seems to clear the ol' love handles. I planned to permanently mount it using a little universal plastic pipe cement or epoxy, but that would kill the rotating feature so I'm going to hold off for now.

So you post this AFTER I cut the annoying node off...great.
JK...I bought 2, my son is a less fortunate righty.

From a non Southpaw well done. I just ordered me a Robust. I can't wait to get it.

I cleaned up the spine of the Robust when I got it. I was surprised to see how rough it was, expecting it to be finished like the Companion MG. I'd love to see a stainless version WITH AN AMBIDEXTROUS SHEATH

I've heard a lot of good words about the Robust, an ambi sheath would help, but I know a fella that makes leather stuff.

I do want to get one soon, sounds like my kind of working knife, stout and sharp. The two rarely meet.

check out some of the sheaths I make they are ambidextrous sheaths made from kydex with leather attachments for mora knives with a removable loop for a horizontal carry and a fire steel holder.

Combining the leather and kydex gives an interesting look. Brass snaps would look gear with green kydex and brown leather. Almost a Steam Punk look.
