This guide details how to securely mount a knife sheath to MOLLE webbing using paracord. It emphasizes the use of Kydex sheaths for easier attachment and recommends 750 paracord for durability. The process involves lacing, crisscrossing, and tightening the paracord through MOLLE loops and sheath grommets, culminating in melting the paracord ends for a permanent, secure hold. The instructor highlights the importance of proper orientation and accessibility for the knife.

Quick Summary

To securely mount a knife sheath to MOLLE webbing, use a Kydex sheath with grommets and approximately six feet of 750 paracord. Prepare the paracord by melting its ends. Thread and crisscross the paracord through the MOLLE loops and sheath grommets, tightening progressively for a stable attachment. Finish by trimming and melting the excess paracord ends to create a secure, integrated nub.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best type of knife sheath for MOLLE mounting?

Kydex sheaths with grommets are highly recommended for MOLLE mounting. The integrated holes in Kydex sheaths make it significantly easier and more secure to thread paracord through, creating a stable attachment to MOLLE webbing.

How much paracord do I need to mount a knife sheath to MOLLE?

For mounting a knife sheath to MOLLE webbing, approximately six feet of 750 paracord is recommended. It's always better to have a little extra paracord than not enough, as you can always trim it down.

What tools are essential for mounting a knife to MOLLE with paracord?

Essential tools include paracord, a knife with a Kydex sheath, a cutting tool, a lighter to melt the paracord ends, a flathead screwdriver for pushing the cord through MOLLE, and needle-nose pliers for tightening.

Why is it better to mount a knife on a belt than a plate carrier?

Mounting a knife on a belt helps reduce weight on the plate carrier, which can be beneficial for comfort and mobility. It also often allows for a more accessible and easier draw, especially when your primary firearm is also on your belt.
