Why Tactical?
Not only because it sounds good, but I wanted to have something Tactical of my own !!
Because it's black, and there's no firesteelloop.. Tactical folks wear black and don't carry a firesteel, but zippo, windmill or a BIC instead.. To provide a place for stashing your lighter, or whatever really, and ready-to-use BIC-tinder, there's a tube of bicycle-tyre, or innertube shoved around the sheath..
(this could also hold a firesteel brilliantly, but then it wouldn't be Tactical anymore, now would it..
)
The lighting was a mixture of heavy overcast, and some tungsten coming from the door, but believe me.. it's black!!
Features are:
- That it doesn't have any rivets or eyelets, but is kept close by a couple of screws. This alows you to take it apart, and clean the kydex out thoroughly when needed.
- The leather backstrap/loop is replacable for a teklok. The teklok could also be mounted on the back leather..
- The rubber strap of bicycle-tyre. You can stash a lot under there, and small strips cut of provide excellent tinder.
- Shaped thumbpush, paracord attachements, drainage hole.. 0.093" kydex + chicagoscrews
In the meantime I added another hole to allow canted carry with a teklok, and to have an extra point to secure some paracord to..
I hope you like it..
