6 reviews for #2 Leather Backer WITH Loop, BLACK | Fits AK 3 / 3.5 / 4.5 Sheaths

  1. Rated 5 out of 5

    Michael

    I chose a #12 leather back because the tech-lock rode too high, most of the nylon stuff is thin and floppy, and the Kydex loops I found still set the knife pommel well above the belt. I placed the leather backer in a way that the belt loop came aprox. 3/8″ from the end of the handle. The upper most nickle plated piece is the only Chicago screw; the other three are actually rivets. I’m going to remove the screw and replace it with a leather strap and button snap. This should give me a secure mount for the handle, keeping it close to the body. I find the #12 black leather back to be a high quality and well designed piece. I chose the no loop option because I already have the Kydex loop. Included are plenty of black Chicago screws and some spacers to mount onto a TKC sheath. — Originally posted at TheKnifeConnection

    I just received this from TKC, along with an ESEE 3. It’s a major upgrade for the stock ESEE sheath. As much as I love ESEE, I don’t like how high some of their knives ride when using the provided belt clip. It pokes me in the side all day. — Originally posted at TheKnifeConnection
    This leather backer allows you to adjust that height. It’s very easy to install and adjust. You only need a phillips screwdriver. The finish on the leather is a little rough around the edges, but it’s tough, quality material. This — and the knife — will outlast me for sure. — Originally posted at TheKnifeConnection

    This leather backer really impoved my setup – it is aesthetically pleasing (adding leather to the unnatural looking plastic stock sheath) and now rides on my hip at a much more comfortable height than the stock clip. — Originally posted at TheKnifeConnection

    Definitely happy with this purchase. — Originally posted at TheKnifeConnection

    The leather backer for the Esee 4 is geat. It drops the knife down a bit so it doesn’t rid so high on your belt. Thick leather and well made — Originally posted at TheKnifeConnection
