A sheath backer attaches a knife’s sheath to a belt or MOLLE webbing and holds it securely in place. It’s also designed to protect the sheath and prevent it from sustaining wear and tear. Additionally, it can increase comfort when a knife is carried in a sheath and keep it stable.
There are many benefits to using a sheath backer, the leading one being that it provides protection for the sheath and the knife inside. It will also add extra stability to a sheath, helping hold it in place when it’s being worn. It will even prevent those wearing sheaths from accidentally cutting themselves with sharp knives.
You should buy a sheath backer with a firesteel loop for hunting, camping, or participating in other outdoor activities that could require building fires. You should purchase one without a firesteel loop if you know you will never have to start a fire while carrying your knife and knife holder parts.
