I'd been wanting to mount my BK9 to my LBE. Yes, it's kinda big, but I wanted to none the less. Here it is on the suspender:

I ran some 550 cord through the lower eyelets on the sheath, around the metal loop (that would normally carry a FAK, or compass), then back through the eyelets:

Then cord locked the other side:

On the upper part of the sheath, I ran some 550 cord through the vertical straps, and simply tied it in a knot:

I also ran a small piece of 1/8 shock cord through the eyelets, and placed an end on it, to make an extra keeper, in case the main keeper comes undone:

What it looks like mounted:

Pulling the extra keeper over the handle:

Unsnapping the main keeper:

And pulling the 9:

This shows how far the blade will fall, if the main keeper accidentally came undone. Perhaps not the best in the world, but an extra security feature none the less. I actually have another idea in mind, but haven't made it yet:

And finally, a dumb looking animation I made:

And no, I can't put it in the sheath that easily, lol. Just reversed the photos. All in all, I'm satisfied with the way it feels. It's not too uncomfortable in any way. I was gonna make a back sling, but decided it was too hard to put the 9 back in the sheath. I was gonna make it so you could swing it to the front to remount, but this was an easier way to go.

Pretty cool, that last pic scared me I thought you were going to jump out of my monitor and cut my head off.....:eek:
 
Do you have any plans to tighten up the plastic insert, or add something more substantial in there? It looks like putting the knife back in is a two handed operation considering how there isn't any retention at all on the sheath until you do up the snap, or the loop you made. Take the insert to a hair dryer and you should be able to get it to hold onto the knife a little bit until you snap it up.

Looks great though.
 
LMAO ^^^, I was thinking the same thing about jumping out of the monitor & hacking me up. Great job. My BK9, 7 & a small Gerber are boxed up, awaiting shipment to a sheath maker, as we speak. :D

What he said. That's freakin scary man. Cool, but scary. You're one hockey mask away from a movie role. :thumbup:
 
Dude, you are MASSIVE. Do you haul around 200 lbs packs and 3 long rifles on a regular basis? :D

Nice idea with an insane RAMBO factor.
 
But where is the other knife? And why are you wearing a sweater under your t-shirt?

(Totally like that guy from Predator man. Kudos.)

NAh, I can do it all one handed. I am going to do a different retention method though.

I used to work out a little back in the day. Haven't lifted weights for over 5 years. Getting ready to start again though.

Thanks. It's a cool set up.
 
Is that little fella in the pix really you? ;)

It looks real cool. I wasn't understanding what you were telling me the other day, now that I see it done though it kinda makes me wanna do something like that also. Nice work!

I think I'll get the plotter running and make myself a t-shirt that says PAYETTE F'ING RUCKER in big white letters. No one would get the joke, and it would be hilarious.

I showed this to my wife last night and she said; I think you're cheating on me with this knife forum. You're looking at knife porn. Look at it; it's the knife going in and out of it's sheath. Tell me that's not knife porn.
