I just got my bk9 with azwelke kydex sheath and micarta scales that I purchased from forum member messer454 (good communication, fast shipping, recieved knife as advertised). It feels so good in my hand and for how big it is, it still seems like it will be an outstanding food prep knife.

I am posting this because I want to set up a custom sheath rig that holds a bk14 (next paycheck :D), fire steel, and an altoid tin survival kit. I have seen some very clever pictures on the forum but I was thinking in going a slightly different direction and was hoping to get some feedback.

I want to remove the stitching from the factory sheath and install some gromets in the nylon so I can atach sections of nylon with paracord to the kydex sheath. I want to creat a pocket/sleeve that the entire bk14 sheath can be secured into or quckly taken out if I just want to carry the 14 (maybe some sort of snap button system).

Has anyone tried a rig like this? I will be carrying it baldric style.

and it wouldn't be a new knife post without some crappy cell phone pictures.

Congrats on the 9!
I myself havn't modded a stock sheath, but there are several members who make some very cool after market stuff.
Thanks for the pics!
 
congrats on the 9! i just got one myself...it is lighter than i expected it to be. use it well.
 
Congrats. Love my 9. One of my favs, after the 2.
 
look at gavkoo's videos on youtube or inspiration- he's made at least one kydex/stock hybrid. Might help you, good luck!

:D

Great picks Unc.

Seamus - "Um, are you gonna eat that?"

I watched gavkoo's "ultimate kydex sheath making tutorial" video and got some inspiration on how to use the nylon. I'm fairly busy with school and work right now but I'll try to get some pictures up of a rough prototype later this week. There's no better distraction from calculus homework then new knife-work.
 
So last night I put my books down for a 20 minute break and with a razor, an awl and some shoelace (I didn't poke the holes big enough for paracord) I fashioned a rough prototype of what the final version will look like

BK14 is on the way so for the picture I just pit my griptillian and a flint rod in the pocket.

Next step is installing gromets and cleaning up the edges. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep the velcro and elastic straps. Once I get the BK14 and sheath I'm going to evaluate the pockets more thouroughly.
