Title says it all. I don't have any real problem with the sheath, it retains fine, but just felt wonkey and cumbersome to me. Like carrying a filet knife on my belt.



Most modifications I found online are either custom kydex or just people taping a bunch of crap to it or using paracord to wrap it for whatever reason.



My goal was to make it easier to draw. Only having a grip on half of the handle just doesn't feel right on my belt.

The retention tab is easy to see, so I just made a mark above it and down the sides of the belt clip and cut it off with a hacksaw.



I cut off the clip at the bend . This line will be our new bend.



I used boiling water to soften the clip and form the new bend around the exact knife if used to clean the edges. This puts the "new" clip lower on the sheath, the original bend acts as the base of the new clip.



The water just didn't get the poly hot enough to really reshape it. So I waited till I got to work and used a heat gun to heat it properly. Care ful with your shape here. You need to bend your new clip to put a little outward pressure on the handle to keep the knife nice and snug.




And there you have it. Nothing fancy.





Good blade retention, more handle accessable to draw, sits higher on the belt, and the clip is about 2" long









I'll clean the edges a bit more. A cigarette lighter works well for this.

In my very non professional opinion this is the way the sheath should be shaped from the factory.

A free mod for a cheap knife.

Very cool. Thank you for the write up.

Great idea & very cool mod.

Plus it gives me a reason to buy another Mora
...or three

Lol right? Let's just say I wasn't concerned with effecting the resale value.

I wish I'd of taken a pic of it on my belt before I cut it. Those of you who own one know it sits very low in the sheath. Personally, I just don't like that. A personal preference.

If you do this make sure you can shape the clip to put pressure on the handle. If not, you're going to end up with the knife flopping around and falling out.

As pictured above, the retention is pretty close to stock.

Pretty quiet in the blade forum. On the plus side, I think I sold 4 or more moras today. The guys at work liked the knife. When I told them how much they cost quite a few ears perked up.

What does the guy in the chair behind you think?

He's a guns are icky type of guy.

Cool Mod

Made this for mine because I liked the sheath but wanted it to dangle.

That's pretty damn cool.

Works good too! Also required no mods to the original sheath.

I bet they do. I will most likely buy a few more companions for Xmas gifts and keep whatever color I like the best.

Awesome post; thank you!

I actually like the sheath. Easy to clean blood out of.  I'm never in a hurry to take it out, so I don't mind the high wrap.  Wish I could get this holster for some of my other knives.

I'll say there was seriously wrong with it. It just didn't feel very natural to me personally. I like to be able to grab the handle, with the stock I was just pulling the butt. Wasn't for me.

I only lock mine in when I'm done using it. If I'm using it and it's in, out, in, out, I just drop it in so it is in the sheath but not locked into the sheath. Besides there is no wrong answer here, just different perspectives.
