Knife on Kifaru Frame

[HonkeyMcGee88]

While at TAC, I noticed a couple people with small sheath knives on the shoulder strap of their frames. Looking at my Kifaru and a knife or two of mine at the house I am not too sure of a good way to attach them in this manner.

Can anyone with a similar setup share some photos?

I prefer to run knives on the belt but those tek loks can attached to most kydex holsters with grommet holes in them. Blade tech also makes a molle-lok that works great for running on a belt

The Spyderco G-Clip Kydex mount (which Mike Sastre desinged; not sure) is also pretty slick. I like it a lot better than Tek Loks.

School me on this, please. Why attach it to the shoulder strap, especially a fairly light duty skinner?

Not judging, just not clear to me what this does for you. In fairness, I run a small pouch with a camera in that spot on my hiking pack. I like to keep my shoulders slick on hunting packs for bow strings and gun stocks. Of course back in the day I did jump a spiderco on my reserve shoot when the army used to throw me out of planes.

Agree, not sure why you'd want a knife there.

Besides the fact that it looks badass? I'm not sure. Personal preference I guess.

How do you attach to a kifaru belt? I’ve got a bench made knife with a kydex sheath and I’ve yet to figure out a lightweight and quiet way to attach it to the jacked up webbing on my kifaru belt.

I've been wanting to attach a SOG knife to the shoulder straps of my pack. Seems like it would be the perfect place for it.

Special forces man.
And quick draw for hand to hand bear fights.
And opening freeze dried food and stuff.

Yeah. So I ran a Marto brewer explorer on my LBE upside down on my shoulder for 1 day of an FTX a long time ago. Sort of a modern twist on the old WW1 trench knife. It was a total pain in the ass and got in the way of EVERYTHING.

Cougar, I have tried a few attachment methods for kydex on molle. There are a few locking forks, etc. you can buy. My favorite method is to take two short MALICE clips and attach them to the sheath with Chicago screws. You have to drill a couple of holes in the MALICE clips but it takes no time. I will try to find a pic of one of my knives and pM it to you.

I’ll have to give mine a try, if I can get the attachment the way I want it. The attachment seems like it would be the biggest pain for me. I guess I’ll have to try it and see.

My sheath has one of these on the back

Works way better than a rigged MALICE clip IMO and they are way easier to remove

Forgot I had made this post.
Sure did get a kick out of all the comments. I'm glad everyone is so "concerned" with why I want it there.

Why was I thinking about putting a knife there? Easily accessible and it's less room to take up in a pocket.

Thanks to the people who posted some useful info.

Haha sorry man. Just had to.
But hope you got it figured out.

I have a sog seal team bowie in a fabric molle sheath and my camelback rubicon has pals webbing on the shoulder straps. The bowie looks bad ass on there but its not at all practical for me, a small knife may work great.
