Kydex sheath with strop

[Nightfly]

After Rob Evans made me a new kydex sheath with a leather beltloop for my Pug, I asked him if he could make me something similar for his Bushtool with some changes. He came up with this very clever design to satisfy my obsession with having a sheath double as a field strop... :C
The loop has two snaps and a removable cinch strap. Unsnap them and unfold the leather loop (treated with autosol). Use your knife lanyard to loop the strop around a branch, hold the kydex in one hand and pull it taut.
After you are done, snap the whole thing back together.
The strop is attached to the kydex with 4 screws.

Clever stuff, beats having to take off you belt! Avoiding those awkward moments where trousers fall down in mid strop!

Fantastic idea.

Weird thing is there are no end of "survival" knifes that come with sharpeners, but very very few that come with strops.
In the field it's very rare i've needed to sharpen a knife though, a quick strop with my belt has got me through so far.

Maybe you'll start a new trend

how about making up a kydex belt loop insert, it would stay on your belt when you need to use the strop, but stop the autosol staining your belt when carried
