Mounting the BK14 included sheath to your belt

[PittViper]

Hi,

I don't know how to mount this sheath to my belt for horizontal carry. I bought a bladetech tech lock, and it does not fit correctly. I have tried both sizes.

I have heard bad things in the reviews regarding the Kabar tdi clip and the screws popping out.

It came with paracord, but I assumed that is for wrapping the handle, not affixing the knife to your belt.

So, can you please advise me on how to mount this sheath to my belt.

Thanks

Some have used paracord for horizontal carry: http://www.bladeforums.com/threads/horizontal-carry-experiences.753382/#post-8371901

Have you tried a Spyderco G clip? They tend to work on smaller sheaths and such...

I've used paracord and zip ties in the past, both worked well

1 of my Neckers I got the TDI clip, 1 I did the molle clips, 1 I had leather custom made, 1 I did the paracord for (actually gutted it so it laid flat though), 1 I left plain, 1 I wear around my neck on some paracord with a breakaway barrel.

I suggest an aftermarket sheath.
You could get some leather and Chicago screws and make straps for it.

I did it with paracord. I lashed it so it could be carried horizontal or vertical. I would post a pic but my pics are in purgatory.

OHHH! I also have an azwelke sheath for 1 of them, I knew I was forgetting one!

Another plus with the after market sheath is the knife will stay in it . The leather straps as NCSlice showed is a clean and easy fix but if your sheath is the older style without the thumb cap to keep your knife from getting lost you should get one cause the stock 11/14 sheath will lose what little tension they have fast.

Sounds like an adequate supply of neckers.

I'm almost there...

I have been viewing pics of several sheaths for the bk14. Also, today I attached my large tech loc to the stock sheath. Had to drill a couple of holes. Sheath is held close to body, but knife handle sticks way out and pokes a nice bulge in my shirt.



I just want to find a custom sheath that has the loops for horizontal carry and holds the knife handle close and tight to the body.

Suggest any that you can think of that meet these criteria.

Thanks

This is why I wore it up front.
That, and more comfortable driving.
