The Leatherman nylon sheath with pockets is absolutely perfect for my needs, but I can’t stand that you have to feed a belt through it.

Has anyone found a way to convert the belt loop to a clip?

    Thanks for your suggestions!

    I think I found a DIY route. Since I really like the Leatherman sheath (literally fits everything I need PERFECTLY), I just ordered some Chicago screws and metal belt clips. If I screw the belt clip using all the layers of the back of the sheath, it should be stiff and strong enough to work.

    The reason I’ve been searching is that I have a knockoff Leatherman from Amazon, which came with a pretty good sheath, and that one has an excellent belt clip. And you know what they say about “what’s the best tool to have? The one you’re carrying!”. I’d rather be carrying my Leatherman :)

    I’ll update this thread once I get the screws.

      Good to hear. I know the frustration of trying to find just a particular thing, and being sure it must exist.

        LOL. This is exactly it. I know there’s as solution, but whether I don’t know what it’s called or I’m not looking in the right place, who knows?

        But this search wasn’t without its positives. I did find a new company that I’ll probably end up using if this DIY solution fails: https://skinthsolutions.com/
