I’m curious what clip attachment the sheath experts like for carrying 8” (OAL) fixed blade In waist band?
so far I have tried:
Ulticlip: secure With or without belt, but sharp edges can rip your hand when drawing quickly)
Bladetech loop: secure fastening to belt, useless without belt, does tend to cant blade handle outwards for more obvious printing issues
spyderco g-clip: decent all around but bulky and does not have great retention for IWB (ie on jeans)
G-code IWB clip: very secure when wearing belt. Cants handle in towards body slightly, which helps reduce printing. Not adjustable for lateral cant (ie it just mounts vertically to a holster, can not rotate) and practically useless unless you’re wearing a gun belt.
Ideally, I would love a mix of the g-code’s inside cant angle and overall construction, combined with a clip mechanism that allowed one to carry it clamped to shorts without need for a belt, and ability to rotate at the attachment point to allow for a 15’ carry angle.
Any other ideas?
