Knife Options?

[SeanQ]

Someone should order up a bunch of this stuff, and start hocking cutting tool packages (knife + sheath + shears) for just barely over cost. Not me though, I'm too lazy =p

How many do you want?

What stops this knife from falling out? It seems like most of these "webbing made" knife pockets dont secure the knife to the pocket.

Friction fit, it won't come out unless you want it to.

I wondered the same thing. I got one in the mail. The webbing is very stiff and the knife is really stuck in there. It looks like it should be ok.

I have one of those. Ground the "point" off the end and put it in a mini-maglite sheath.

Only problem with them is that they rust.

My preference at this point is an Oceanic Arrow blunt tip ... costs around $15. It fits nicely in the mini-maglite sheath and it doesn't rust.

Wouldn't that particular sheath be frowned upon because the belt loop attaches to itself by velcro?

Yep, I purchased one of those (still use it), but sewed the belt loop ends together. It's still flimsy.

The sheath that comes with the mini-maglite is much sturdier ... not at all like that "replacement" sheath. I just bought a few mini-maglites ... they're kicking around the house, and the sheaths are all on my rigs.

About 3" of surgical tubing works nicely ...

put a layer of silicone grease on it. That helps against rust

awesome... do you wrap the tubbing through the webbing loop and around the top of the knife to hold it?

Exactly ... I use a simple square knot, cut the ends short and leave the knot on the outside ... makes it easier to remove the loop when you need to deploy the knife.
