Drop Leg Sheathing Options for ESEE-6

[en0]

I just got my ESEE-6 knife last week. I got the knife primarily for utility while backpacking. I would like to put a drop leg sheath on it but, being new to large blades, i am not sure the best approached. Can anyone offer some insight? Thank you!

I was thinking the new ESEE pack would be perfect for a drop leg. Tactical Tailor and others make Drop leg rigs covered with Molle/Pals.

the molle back for the ESEE6 is a good way

Check out blade tech's drop rig, it's under holster accessories or some thing.

Is there a leg strap with that setup? looks like it might do a little bit of swinging...

BlairB, where you talking about something like this?

That looks like a good solution but a bit more Tactical then I was thinking.

As anyone tried the molle back that ESEE provides? i have heard mixed reviews, and I’m not a big nylon fan.

Thank you all for the input. Do you all have any thoughts on leather for such an operation?

That molle backer is looking better and better. Thanks texastonydobbs!! Anyone here have any experience with the factory seconds offered on RCs rebwsite?

Also, texastonydobbs: That leather implentation, is that formed around the blade handle. its hard to tell from the pictures. I have a lot of leather from a smaller project, i might just give that try as well.

Guys thank you all. Im glad i joined this community. You all ROCK!!

Yeah, that is exactly what I was thinking.

I ordered this with my RC3. I think my next will be the RC6 with this setup.

my Green molle backing is a second and I like it ,it just more flexible than the gang liked

 

[Dizwolf]

I haven't had any trouble with swing on the five or six. The backing is pretty rigid. Even my junglas doesn't swing, though it does bounce some. For any of them, a paracord lashing is simple enough to do.

Thanks guys, I am going to build the leather solution depicted by texastonydobbs. I will probably order the molle back soon as that looks like the optimal solution. Thanks again.

Who made your custom kydex holder for the ESEE Fire Kit? Very cool!
