111mm Carry

I recall something about a tyre innertube on the belt, but what other options do people have for 111mm SAK carry?
I want to carry either my Helmsman or OHT, but neither have clips and loose things rolling around my pockets distress me.

Has anyone seen belt pouches of a decent size? or suggest other innovative carry techniques that give both ready access and secure holding? (I'm often in unusual positions, so I need more than gravity to stop things rolling out of my pockets)

Put a small carabiner on the keyring, then hang on pocket rim, the gate would lock onto your pocket.

I carry my keys this way and a few times the keyring slipped out but carabiner still held on securely.

My OH-GAK is usually sheath carried in the right back pocket.

For a clipless, larger SAK the back pocket is my preferred mode of carry. I don't EDC belt sheathes. EDC with a belt hanger dangling into a front pocket is awkward feeling and hard to access.

For back pocket carry to work well, the sheath must be customized to fit the SAK and the 'average' pocket it'll be carried in.

Sheath keeps the SAK vertical with the top of the handle just below the top of the pocket.

Sheath keeps the SAK on the outboard side of the pocket, which is important for comfort when sitting and climbing in and out of vehicles.

SAK fits tightly in the sheath, for secure retention, with about a half-inch of handle sticking up above the top of the sheath. Enough handle exposed to grab between thumb and forefinger then easily tug free of the sheath.

Often carried with a short paracord fob or a longer paracord lanyard clipped to the SAK, which makes access to the SAK even easier.

Try back pocket carry, you might like it.

Either a belt pouch , or the plier/screwdriver pocket on workpants .

On/Scene Tactical makes some kydex sheaths for the 111mm series. I bet one of them could be fitted with a tek-lok for belt carry, or used as-is for carrying with paracord.

I'm belt carrying my OHT in a gerber crucial pouch recently. Works for me

Vic do their own pouches for the 111mm. I believe the 4.0533 and the 4.0538 on this page would suite your needs.
