Morakniv Companion Sheath w/ Pouch

[DAVE_M]

Sooooo... Long story short, I locked myself out of the house yesterday evening, but luckily had the garage open and was able to create a scout carry sheath for my Mora while I waited for my fiancee to come home and let me in lol


Blocking for a knife is a huge PIA compared to blocking for a handgun. So I didn't make a weep/drain hole until after the sheath was pressed. I did so by heating the edge with a heat gun and sliding my center punch in between the kydex. Then I formed it with my gloves. It's not very pretty, but it is extremely functional.

This morning I added my Condor iPouch, which contains a small firekit and more cord.

Really nice sheath, I like it a lot. What material did you use for the straps? It looks rubbery...

You are correct, they are rubber. These are rubber "IWB loops" that Knifekits sells. I had a few extra left over and decided to use them.

I would disagree with the "not pretty" part. Looks like a nice, well done sheath. Good job

Thanks for the info on the loops, seems worth looking into.
I also agree with Nuke_Spook, I think it looks rather nice and clean.

Thanks guys!

As far as the loops go, I actually prefer the 3/4" loops from Index Fasteners. They are made of webbing that is covered in rubber. They have rubbery properties, but are as strong as webbing can be.

The look feel and functionality of this sheath seems wholly appropriate.

Well done.
