So a little while back I had Dexwithers make me a custom Kydex for my Bk9/24 combo. He spent a lot of time on this to get it right and in the process I got an extra bk24 sheath. So of course in good fashion having an extra awesome sheath I had to get another awesome blade to go in it. I love my 24 and I couldn't separate it from the 9 but I also didn't want another, I don't have an 11 so I got one. Blade shape is the same so it fit perfectly, I think im up to 7 beckers know. Dexwithers in his infinite wisdom made this sheath to accept pretty much any attachment method under the sun on this one, So I ordered a couple extra Tekloks. Unfortunately TKC doesn't make g10 for the 11 yet so I ordered some micarta and hit the grocery store for some blue rit dye. When they show up I will do a little heating and reshaping of dex's sheath to fit the micarta and will try dying them blue so they somewhat match my blue/black g10 tkc scales. I also got some black dye as well just in case the blue doesn't look good. One thing im not sure of if I should strip this one or not, im thinking of scout carring it horizontal on my back scout style as an edc.
Here is a pic so far, ill keep it updated as more stuff shows up.
 
That is Bunny Knife & Tool for you. They just keep multiplying.

(You might want to add a 'Y' to your "multipl_ing")
 
Multiplying Beckers is a common issue around here... and a pretty good problem to have!

Looking forward to pics and updates.
 
I got a bunch of tekloks today and a nice Japanese water stone. I threw the teklok on and ran the edge over the water stone for a nice fine convex hair popping edge.

The scales showed up today, so its time to dye them and reshape the sheath. I started dying the scales and did 5 min dips. First 5 min a bit too light then another 5 min and one more for a total of 15min. They came out pretty good a very deep blueish purple. I might still dip them in black but ill stew on it for a few days. Next was to reshape the sheath to fit these scales. Boiling water seems to work the best for me, I boiled just the front part as to not shrink the ricasso part of the sheath. took them out of the water after about 1 min and put the blade in and pinched the bottom with my fingers while running it under cold water and they came out perfect. Remounted the teklok for front side cross draw and im loving the feel of this spot, I think I will be EDCing this for a while. here is a few pics.




 
That is a pretty cool setup for EDC. I just switched over both of my tools and was wondering how you like the tekloc? How thick of a belt do you think they will handle? I make paracord belts so I'm wondering if they are too thick to fit them.

My EDC belt is .170" but my shooting comp belt is .280" and it fits both fine. I have been using teklocs for almost 3 years in USPSA pistol and 3 gun comps. They have always served me well with no complaints. My guess is unless you make really thick belts they will fit fine.
