Learn how to securely attach a knife sheath clip to your belt or pack using the Argali EDC Lock. Step-by-step instructions for a reliable carry setup.
Quick answer
Use the Argali EDC Lock Knife Sheath Clip to attach your knife securely to a belt or MOLLE-compatible webbing. This universal clip works with any Argali knife and provides quick access without slipping.
Why a dedicated sheath clip matters
A standard belt loop or pocket clip can shift during active movement, especially under a pack belt. A dedicated sheath clip like the Argali EDC Lock provides a positive lock that stays put even when you're crawling, climbing, or hiking through thick cover.
The clip attaches directly to MOLLE webbing, so you can mount it on a pack, vest, or belt without modifying your gear. This gives you flexibility in where you carry your knife without buying a new sheath.
How to attach the sheath clip
- 1. Remove the existing belt loop: Unscrew or slide off the factory belt loop from your Argali knife sheath. Keep the screws if they are reusable; some sheaths use a screw-post system that allows swapping hardware. Don't force the loop off—check for hidden set screws first to avoid stripping.
- 2. Align the Argali EDC Lock with the sheath holes: Position the clip so its mounting holes match the sheath's attachment points. The clip should sit flush against the sheath back; if it doesn't, flip it 180 degrees to test orientation. Verify the clip's curve faces away from the blade side so the knife doesn't rub against your gear.
- 3. Secure the clip with the provided hardware: Thread the screws through the clip and into the sheath. Tighten them evenly with a screwdriver or the included tool. Over-tightening can crack the sheath or strip the threads. Use thread locker (blue) if you plan to keep this setup long-term; otherwise, hand-tighten to a snug fit.
- 4. Attach to your belt or MOLLE webbing: Slide the clip over your belt or weave it through MOLLE loops. For belt carry, position it between belt loops for stability. For pack carry, choose a vertical or horizontal webbing strip that allows a natural draw. Test the draw motion before committing—if the knife hangs up on pack straps, move the clip to a different webbing row.
- 5. Check retention and security: Give the knife a firm tug in the sheath. The clip should hold without wobbling. If it slips, tighten the mounting screws slightly or adjust the clip's position on the webbing. Re-check retention after the first day of use; nylon webbing can stretch slightly and loosen the fit.
