    Look up MOLLE before you buy.

    Look up MOLLE before you buy.
    I’m seeing a ton of reviews of people complaining about the sheath. It seems like a lot of people don’t understand what MOLLE is, so I figured I’d show some pictures. If you DO NOT have a DUTY belt (I.e. MOLLE compatible), you WILL NOT be able to use the MOLLE mounting system. If you try to mount this to your dickies belt or whatever else, it WILL NOT WORK because it DOES NOT accept MOLLE.
    Thank you for your feedback
