Aye Up All,
Here is one that may not have featured before a method transferred from ammo pouches to knife/tool pouches
I have a small Whitby lock-knife which lives in a pouch slightly too big for it which I have adjusted by moving the flap securing stud slightly down the pouch. I like the security the larger pouch gives but it has made extracting the knife a bit awkward especially with gloved fingers.
The addition of a short piece of flexible webbing strap the same width as the internal width of the pouch has been sewn in at one end just along the front edge of the pouch.
As long as the strap is pushed down inside the pouch before (by) the knife, a simple pull upwards on the non-fastened end of the strap brings the knife up out of the pouch easily.
Ive used the same method for a multi-tool/pouch where the tightness of the fit makes extraction awkward. The extra leverage of the strap solves the prob. Note that this strap is sewn the opposite way round to the knife version and causes the tool to be tipped backwards as opposed to forwards a là knife pouch. If you decide to use this mod, check which way round the strap is the best for you before you attach it.
