Where to buy boot clips?

Leu Custom · Apr 20, 2008

Does anyone know where to buy gerber type boot clips other than texasknife.com? Or wider than 7/8" ? Or maybe in a blackened color or some other color? Thank you in advance.

are these actually for clipping to a boot? that sounds kind of uncomfortable. It looks great for clipping to a belt or pants.

Yep, I believe the origin is cowboys clipping knives into the tops of their boots. With that style of boot, it wouldn't be too uncomfortable.

Well, I've seen a couple of boot knife crazes since I was young, though I've never seen any out here on the east coast. I guess it depends on where you grow up what kind of knives are popular. If you wear cowboy boots, a boot knife is not uncomfortable. Sometimes, it's actually quite the opposite.

The best clip I've ever used came off a Nite-Ize cell phone case, but good luck getting them to sell you any. I've been trying forever to get some for handmade sheaths and cell phone cases, and I can't even get a reply from them.

I've got pics if anybody's interested in seeing one. Just can't post here....yet.

Weaver Leather co. sells them dirt cheap like under a buck apiece in a couple of different sizes. They are 7/8 wide and one is longer than the other. Page 120 of they're new catalog.
