Benchmade Knife on Eagle / SKD Universal Chest Rig
Sun Mar 22 2009
Added a Benchmade Knife to this Eagle Universal - SKD Version Chest Rig using the PALS attachment webbing and 550 cord. I positioned this Benchmade onto the Eagle Industries chest rig twice, once on the left side and then over to the right side.
The Eagle / SKD Universal Chest Rig has 4 rows of modular PALS webbing. I used the 550 cord lanyard on the Eagle Industries sheath that comes with the Benchmade 155 SBK.
Threaded through the PALS webbing and wrapped around the sheath made for a snug fit
I then attached an S.O.Tech Battle Load Carry System (BLoCS) Small Zippered Medical Pouch to the chest rig and the outside of the knife sheath
The S.O. Tech BLoCKS Medical Pouch fit well over the Benchmade 155 SBK knife sheath, but soon after completing this set up I saw how worthless the knife would be on the left side. So I decided to move it over to the right (strong hand) side
The right side of the Eagle / SKD Chest Rig has a Army surplus magazine pouch with velcro flap. I use this as a pistol holster since the strong velcro flap can securely hold most modern pistols. The Benchmade 155 SBK knife will be placed under the inside half of this surplus pouch.
The sheath attached easily and the pouch fit easily on the outside of the sheath
One of our editors used this Eagle / SKD Universal Chest Rig with Benchmade 155 SBK-ADC knife and S&W M&P .45acp in one of the four M4 / AK magazine pouches. First Aid supplies in the S.O.Tech BLoCKS Medical Pouch. It worked well, stayed in place through a full day of action shooting; crawling through car windows, jumping in and out of vehicles, crawling on the ground and running
