Accessories and clips for sheaths
Many sheaths for fixed knives are enhanced with flexible mounting options for clips and other carrying options. Of course, we're referring to sheaths made from kydex or plastic with mounting holes for this purpose. The time that you could only hang a sheath from your belt with a simple belt loop is over: today, there are many different options. From belt attachments to smaller options, there's something for everyone. Consider, for example, steel clips that allow you to easily slip the sheath into your pocket. These clips clamp securely to the edge of your trousers for discreet and practical carrying.
Features about accessories and clips for sheaths
Accessories and clips for sheaths are great when you want to carry a knife with you. With a clip, your knife is always secure, so you'll never lose it. Clips are suitable for smaller knives in a pocket sheath. They also work well for larger, fixed-blade knives. UltiClip offers a range of different fastening options.
How do I choose the best accessories and clips for my sheaths?
It's important to determine whether you want to carry your knife inside your pocket or on the outside of your trousers, for example attached to your belt. If you want to attach the knife to your belt, you have some options; you could get a large clip to attach the sheath to your belt. Alternatively, you could get a belt loop, which kind of dangles the knife.
If you want to carry the knife more discreetly, have the options of putting it in the pocket itself or on the inside of the waistband. An attachment for inside the waistband is often called IWB which stands for Inside Waist Band.
The sheath needs to be compatible with the clip too, so make sure to carefully consider the size and placement of the attachment holes.
Many clips are also easy to attach to a side pocket of a backpack which many find convenient while walking. The MOLLE system is a clip system specifically designed for equipment with MOLLE webbing often found on backpacks.
