was able to see some kydex/leather sheaths at the HSL forum meet so decided my PS needed a belt loop as it comes with no loop (Chris copy it, it works great! only owe me a Beer :D )

3,5mm leather, veg tanned made in Tuscany, glue and molle locks/teklock screws
doesn't disturb even in the pocket, is follows the sheaths contours and is slightly angled so it's easier to draw the knife, belt rotates and sheath is angled backwards

holes where made with a GEC #53 harness jack :cool:

apologize the pics, camera is dead and is charging, only had the phone and it's 23h now

Looks very functional. Great for carry in the woods and such. I actually carry mine in my right front pocket. I haven't carried it in awhile, but I do love the Professional Soldier. Just got a Izula in the mail today. I like this style of knife, nice and thin, but fully functional when needed.
 
Looks good, but you have those screws in the wrong way round. :p

I have a sort of similar set up I make from my kydex sheaths, that might work better for you. Do you have any kydex ? I can show you how to make one......

don't have any piece of kydex, only a few SQ meters of leather :-P
should I turn the screws around? on a molle lock or teklock the screw is inwards/back and the round one on the front

if you have pics, be sure to post them, never get enough inspiration!

I just use them the other way round as it's easier to have the female part on the clip and the screws through the sheath. Not that that's right or wrong but I think for leather it would be better to have more of a brace so that it can't rip out or pull through.

I can post a few inspirational pics for you tomorrow. :thumbup:
 
Very nice! I really like this setup. How hard would it be to do the loop the other direction?

what do you mean with otehr direction?
you can turn the loop the other way round to carry it on the left

@ haze
one of the screws leans inside the leather but the structure is still solid, turning the scews around works better but is less "clan" to the eye IMO, that's why I preferred the way it is

I mean could you turn it to make the knife a horizontal carry. Sorry for being unclear!

COULD fit, didn't try but if it's possible with a teklock it could work with mine too
didn't measure if they are set square or rectangularly, if they are at the same distance then it could, yes

if it doesn't you can make another loop for horiz carry, to be at the same height as the belt or lower (could be nice to have it lower than the belt when you sit or have a backpack)

This is the sort of clips I like to use on my kydex. I don't know why I do things the way I do, I just do. I hope it comes as some inspiration any way. :p:thumbup:
