Cool F1 Kydex Setup

[hollowdweller]

Excuse my posting the link instead of the pics but I'm on break at work. Had Fiddleback make this kydex F1 sheath for me that would be adaptable for neck carry and belt carry and I thought I'd share it with y'all :You_Rock_

Great looking sheath, i'd like to try working with kydex some time.
Looks like it would work well for carry on a back pack strap in the inverted position, i carry my WM1 on my pack strap that way and it's always to hand.

Hey Rapid!

I didn't even think of that aspect thanks!!!

It's a great way to carry with a pack , means it's not in the way of the belt.

Good looking sheath there HD.
I hope you don't mind a few questions, can you tell me a bit more about the "tec loc" mentioned in the spiel, please.
I'm trying to invent a clip that would allow a belt loop sheath to be carried on a pair of trousers without a belt - kind of clip the pouch/sheath onto it and the whole affair onto a waistband - the tec loc looks as though it might be a step forward.
RB I'm also thinking of an inverted sheath (for a fixed blade) as I wear braces a lot, though the idea of moving a blade upwards near your own chest/throat area is a bit frightening I had a rescue knife in the mob that you could opt for either a lower leg carry or upper arm inverted carry.
Seems Kydex is the way to go when you want positive retention of an inverted blade.

From the U.S knifekit.com website, under Kydex Supplies:

Tek-Lok (Sheath Mounting System)

The Tek-Lok is a great belt loop system that works on Kydex and Concealex belt sheaths or gun sheaths. This locking system allows the knife or gun to be carried in the Vertical or Horizontal position on your belt or web gear. The Tek-Lok works like a door swinging closed and snapping into place for a secured carry. The Tek-Lok can be unlocked and removed via a specially designed molded pair of friction-grip press handles from its sides. The hole spacing set up for the Tek-Lok is 1 inch on its centers.

Large Tek-Lok : 2.25 x 2 Inside Dimensions : Fits belts from 2.25 to 1.25.
Small Tek-Lok : 1.5 x 1.5 Inside Dimensions : Fits 1.5 belts and smaller. Great for small field accessories and electronics.

Mounting Hardware: Includes, 2, 3/8 posts, 2, 1/2 screws and 2, 1/4 "sound silencing" spacers.

Thanks RobG,
A quick look at the website and their Beltloops look to be more suited for what I want, though I won't dismiss the tec-locs just yet.

Thanks Buddy
