Pocket clips for pocket sheaths

[Erin Burke]

I have a few small knives that I'd like to make pocket sheaths for. Where can I find small clips that can be attached to a leather sheath for inside-the-pocket carry? What are common methods for attaching the pocket clip to the sheath? Does anyone have any photos for example?

Thanks in advance. Erin

Are you looking for something like that?
I believe jantz also carries them in black coated or plain stainless steel.

The one that Tracy sells is a little larger than what I am looking for. I want a clip similar in size to what you would find on your typical tactical folder, but one that can be incorporated into a small leather sheath.

well Jantz has some that are 7/16ths x 2 3/4ths or an even smaller one thats 5/16ths by 2 1/8th

I don't really know how to attach them though.

Try somewhere like tandy, http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/home/department/Hardware/Holster-Clips/Holster-Clips.aspx some of those will work.

The way you can attach is to simply rivet the clip to a small patch of leather(what ever shape you want) then cement/sew that patch to the sheath at the needed location. This will in turn keep the rivet out of the sheath itself and guarantee a pretty good hold.

Here's the ones I get at Tandy....there aren't many options out there, I've been looking for some more stylish ones, can't seem to find em.....I've asked a water jet guy to make some but no interest shown....
