I’m looking for advice on finding a reliable belt clip for my Kydex sheath. As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors, especially hiking and camping, having easy access to my knife is crucial. I’ve done some research but I want to hear from others who might have tried different options.
Questions I’m Considering:
What are the best types of clips that you’ve found work well with Kydex sheaths?
Do you prefer plastic, metal, or something else for durability?
How do they perform in terms of secure attachment?
Have you experienced any comfort issues when using certain clips while hiking?
What I’ve Tried:
I’ve been using a basic plastic clip that came with the sheath, but I find it sometimes slips and doesn’t always feel secure when I’m on the move. Looking to upgrade and see if anyone has suggestions or specific brands they recommend.
Additional Considerations:
I’ve noticed some are adjustable and others are fixed, which got me thinking about how that impacts usability during outdoor activities. Are adjustable clips worth the investment?
I’d really appreciate any insights or experiences you can share. Thanks!
I think one of the best materials for belt clips is polymer. They’re lightweight and durable, which makes them great for kydex sheaths. Have you guys tried them?
When installing belt clips on Kydex sheaths, the most important tool is a heat gun to mold the Kydex properly. Make sure you have a drill and the right bit size for your screws as well. Always wear safety goggles!
I’ve had good luck with stainless steel screws. They’re less likely to rust, which is a plus in humid environments. Just ensure they’re the right length to prevent them from poking through the Kydex!
