Well, first finished sheath - almost. Got some kydex about two weeks ago and burned few a feet just figuring out how to press it etc. Starting to look like 70% of the time can be spent just making a belt loop. Was trying to come up with a way one can swivel, attach to a regular belt, and attach to molle. Here's what I am trying out, however after messing with it the screws are coming out.. back to the drawing board...

Here's the finished product(SOD in the background with another belt clip idea disassembled):

and in another thread we were talking about attaching a small bag so I got this idea:

With the molle you can attach any other molle item to it AND attach it to something like a pack or leg panel. I was hoping it would be two columns wide but that might be a little tight. Would have to experiment a little more - I used a sodering iron for the screw holes, a rivet and press would work a lot better and cleaner. Tried to make the rows snug but probably could use a little more slack. Time to sleep on it, maybe something will come to me tomorrow, looks like I'm gonna have to go static on the clip or use webbing.

oooooh I love the molle idea it is genious, it is great and so wounderfuly modular. the belt clip is rather genious as well. are you an engineer?

Very nice sheaths. Combining molle straps with kydex is cool. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Look good to me, I like everything about it. I'm always trying to figure the best way to set my sheaths up for multiple carry options. Keep up the good work.
