Kydex sheath system for the AWS4.5.
I included an aluminium tube to my Kydex sheath systems for housing the sharpening rod for my knives. However this tube is not limited to housing just the sharpening rod. Should you choose, you can swap the sharpening rod out for the ferro rod, or fill the tube with items of your own choosing. The end cap is threaded, which allows for removing/replacing the sharpening rod.
By using a tube system with the Kydex, also allows for a great anchor point to attach a Maxpedition pouch or similar.
I have included a 0.7mm gap all of the way around the edge of the sheath to allow for drainage. This works really well because no matter how you carry the knife (vertical or horizontal), water and fluid can always escape.
By using a Tek Lok I have allowed for both vertical and horizontal carry.
