Hey Guys,
I have a couple of Fallkniven factory black leather dangler sheaths for an A1 and an S1 (used for an NL4 which is the same length blade). I could spend on a new sheath with a sharpening stone pouch and firesteel loop, but these dangler sheaths are nice work and I don't want to waste them. I'm trying to add an attachment to carry an Exotac 5/16" firerod. I added a heavy rubber ranger band (the old strac bands I think they were called), but the rod handle digs into the sheath. I need the loop offset from the sheath like 1/4". Just picking your brains if you have any ideas how to pull that off. I was thinking of a plastic tube or sleeve I could slip under the band on the side to insert the firesteel into, but ideally it would be flat on one side where it butts up against the sheath, then curved in a semi-circle. (Unless it's possible to open up the stitching and add a leather loop? I don't know, the sides of these are finished very tightly.)
--> I'm also looking for black or orange kydex firesteel loops for a 5/16" dia steel that will fit on a kydex sheath with 1.5" centered grommets. Thanks for any ideas!
