This is genius and exactly what I was looking for. I have a full size and a mini camp hatchet and I wanted to add a ferro rod to both. I looked and the cheapest kydex one was $15 and up including shipping. So I went to Amazon to just buy a sheet of kydex and make one, that started at $10 and up. I'm glad I came to TH-cam cause I'm just going to go to the hardware store tomorrow and grab a handful of these and some heat shrink to make the handle. I'm going to use rivets to mount to the sheaths since I have some sitting in the garage already. Thanks for making this video.
Fantastic idea! I have a 1/2:" FIresteel I want to add to my ESEE Junglas and you just solved it for me. Just a thought for those having to use the white nylon versions, I'd bet that they'd dye black pretty easily with some black RIT Dye and boiling water. I've seen other nylon handle scales dyed this way. While certainly not necessary, just because we enjoy roughing it in the woods, doesn't mean we're immune to fine aesthetics. Thank you again!
I went to Home Depot last weekend and purchased 3/8" nylon cable organizers in black along with some stainless screws and nuts and they worked like a charm on my Junglas sheath. I may opt to buy some black screws online so they complete the tactical look or, I may use a black Sharpie to color them (an easy and cheap but non durable solution). Anyway, thanks again for the excellent idea!
This is genius I love it! I made a sheath for mine outta duck tape but it’s only temporary n now that I found this video I’m definitely gonna go this route! Great idea dude!!
This is an outstanding idea! You can purchase the nylon loops or nylon cable clamps in black. One can spray paint them black. I wish all the Mora, Hultafors, Condors, and others came with this type of Ferro Rod Holder. I know the Extremus comes with a built-in Ferro Rod Holder on the side.
Came across your video, started to get into knife sheath building. $20 of material cost at HD and $20 Kydex material and I can make 4-6 sheaths. Thank you for the great idea. Just subscribed to your channel.
I'm ordering an ESEE 6 and I've spent the last two hours trying to find a ferrorod loop for my 1/2" rod🤦♂️ This totally ends my search! Thank you times 2! 🙌🙌 One because I know how to overcome my obstacle, and two because I have a legitimate reason to go to the hardware store (my wife's gonna love that) 😂😂
This would work on leather too if you punched a couple holes in it. Also you could use leather and some Chicago screws to make one for the Kydex sheath.
this video just earned a like and follow! the Tops BOB knife comes with a small ferro rod and i want to mount a 6 inch by half inch rod to it. Literally looking everywhere for kydex attachment for it and stumble on this video. Thank You!!! I will be doing this and and filing a 90 degree spine on the BOB and it will be a perfect Bushcraft knife. TY again!
I swear to God I just had the same idea but I was going to use the ones with the rubber attached to metal and I didn’t have the right size at home so I’m going to Home Depot to get the ones you have and I think they have them in black. 👊🏼
I like it. It was reasonably priced and has been good for me. It was a knife Buck made for Walmart. The other name was Endeavor. It’s hollow ground, so I don’t baton it, but it’s great for field dressing and skinning and I can get it pretty sharp.
If l told you the time and effort l put into attaching ferro rods on my sheaths you wouldnt believe it, and most of them last, as long as l dont ever take the knife out, my wife watched , at the end l said this guy is better than me at everything, " Interesting " she said and walked out.
@@ModernRefugee The ones l did later on were pretty good, but l am pretty sure when l said you were better than me my wife was thinking Woman thoughts, Hahahaha shes a Nurse and it's true they can be rather (provocative). Hahahaha l like that word. Thanks boss.

Awesome idea, just spent the better part of an hour looking on line for holders and then I saw your solution. Awesome !!!!
Thank you.
Great job! The cable clamps are brilliant!!
Much better than my way. Thanks. I just got myself an SRK. Sheath needs a ferro rod holder.
Great idea.
Nothing like a good old hardware store for finding all those little “treasures “

That's a great idea, I'll keep my eye out for some of those - Greatmod.

A really good idea 👍 I use those loops for holding cables all the time and never thought to do that 😜 TFS

Hey M.R.
Had to stop back and ask your opinion of that Buck Mesa.
I like it. It was reasonably priced and has been good for me. It was a knife Buck made for Walmart. The other name was Endeavor. It’s hollow ground, so I don’t baton it, but it’s great for field dressing and skinning and I can get it pretty sharp.
ingenious
Try some black oxide Chicago screws, they'd be low profile and look great.
Great advice.
@@ModernRefugee Forgot to say: thanks for a great idea! 8^)
Chicago screws
Thanks for the great tips MR :-)
Thanks for always watching my videos.
@@ModernRefugee It's my pleasure! I always learn a lot from them :-)
Great tips ,, thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thanks for always watching my videos.
@@ModernRefugee My pleasure , I enjoy learning new things
did you make the rods yourself too? if yes, how?
No, it was got off the internet.
Which ferro rods do you use and how do you like them?
The ones I use are those Bayite ones off Amazon. I have probably 10 of them. They have all worked well after the coating is scratched off.
If l told you the time and effort l put into attaching ferro rods on my sheaths you wouldnt believe it, and most of them last, as long as l dont ever take the knife out, my wife watched , at the end l said this guy is better than me at everything,
" Interesting " she said and walked out.
Don’t sell yourself short. I bet you and yours are better then 99% of the population.
@@ModernRefugee The ones l did later on were pretty good, but l am pretty sure when l said you were better than me my wife was thinking Woman thoughts, Hahahaha shes a Nurse and it's true they can be rather (provocative). Hahahaha l like that word. Thanks boss.
