This guy wanted the original zytel sheath as a liner.
The beltloop can be switched with a teklok

I agree. :thumbup:
Great job on the S-1 sheath, Martin, the swappable belt-loop looks like a great idea.

Amazing. Do you hand stitch and where do you get that hardware? Thanks.

Yes, I stitch everything by hand..
I get my supplies from http://www.nordellknives.com
For the stitching part I first use a groover to make a groove in which the thread will sink. Next comes the stitchmarker to mark the distance between the holes. I have a wheel, but a fork or will do the job also. Next I punch the holes by hand with an awl from both sides (as the awl is conical, and I want a round hole). Then it's ready to sew it up using 2 needles and a pair of pliers to pull the needle through. I like to keep the holes as tight as possible to prevent dirt and moisture to enter, and to lock the waxed thread into place more firmly.

Thanks for the kind words guys..
