CPK EDC2 Sheath

I have the original belt sheath that came with the knife, but it is not useful to me since I don’t wear a belt.

Was reading elsewhere that someone felt Mashed Cat had better attention to detail and retention. Disagree?As Roland said,azwelke is a great choice. His prices are reasonable, and he won't need your knife as he has the pattern already. It's what I use.
Sorry, just saw you’ve tagged him. Don’t want to offend with that statement. Maybe too late

He won't be offended. Mashed Cat kydex is awesome. I have several for my CPKs. You can't go wrong there either. As far as I'm concerned, Al's sheath is just fine, it carries in my right front pocket or AIWB.
Choose the sheath maker you are comfortable with.

Don't think anybody will be offended - they are both _very_ good. Al's sheaths are super robust, Mashed Cat maybe a little "finer" - very precise, but neither has ever scratched one of my knives; it's like comparing a Corvette to a Ferrari
.... Al might be easier to access and has at least an EDC1, so you wouldn't have to send your knife.As I await a response, I started modifying the belt sheath that came with the knife. I’ve actually got it pretty close to how I want it. Side note: I didn’t know how easy and fun it is to bend Kydex until I couldn’t sleep last night and decided to tinker around with it over my stove. I cut the belt loop off with a tiny metal saw I happened to have to cut the bolts off during toilet installation. Then I sanded it down (also sands easily). From there, the fit in the sheath was way too tight for pocket retrieval, so I got it nice and warm and did this (photo). The retention is just right for me now, and the spot I made for my thumb to help eject is a nice fit. I’m actually now looking for a recommendation for a clip. The only one I’ve seen so far is UltiClip. Any other recommendations?As Roland said,
For the clip, I personally find the DCC Universal Mod 4 more useful on this sheath for my EDC2 than the Mummert. (I own both.)
Just seeing your remark about the clip after posting my photo of modificationsAs Roland said,

DCC is very responsive already this morning! Makes me want to buy from them.

Matt is an awesome guy with an awesome product.
I purchased mod 2.2 for front pocket. Will be drilling two new holes. He’s including extra mounting hardware which is really cool of him. Definitely a new fan of that company.
I am freakishly close to having this dang thing modified to my liking so the clip will fit. Modification upon modification, everything has needed to be modified. Little projects can be extremely time and effort consuming. I’m enjoying the process but am also understanding why knives and sheaths cost so much. There’s no turning back now. It ain’t pretty, but it’s gonna work. I just need to find the male portions 1/8” longer than what I’ve got due to the extra layer of kydex from where I cut the belt loop off.
