I wanted to be able to dissassmble everything so I could chop or change parts and mounting systems at will , all I need is a screw driver . I can carry most of the sheaths in the photos in 5 or 6 different ways by just configuring them differently by swapping out parts or leaving them off , such as horizontal or vertical carry by leaving on or removing the belt loop for example and can even switch them from left to right hand side carry by just unscrewing and reversing the sleeve and belt loops. And with the long extra strap running down the back of the bk7 sheath from the belt loop makes it simple to strap to a pack . simple and effective way to add some modularity to a leather sheath....
