I'm gearing up to make some Kydex sheaths, magazine pouches, flashlight/multitool sheaths, and the like for my own use, and I've been studying the hole spacing required for the various mounting hardware. I've acquired a variety of Blade-Tech hardware including a large Tek-Lok (3/4" hole spacing), large and small MOLLE-Loks (3/4"), J Hook (~1.15" spacing?), rubber IWB loop, and a KnifeKits pre-formed belt loop (1" spacing). The supplier was out of small Tek-Loks when I ordered, but I it is my understanding that they use 1/2" hole spacing and that most folks accommodate them with 1" hole spacing on their sheaths.

I'd also like to acquire some Spyderco G-Hooks. I'm ASSuming their hole pattern is compatible with that of the small Tek-Lok (?).

Anyways... I was hoping to use an eyelet spacing that would allow a variety of standard mounting hardware to be used. Also, I would like the capability to mount my gear on PALS webbing, which is 1" wide on 1" rows (1.5" channels). I've noted that some folks on another forum have had mixed results with the MOLLE-Loks (e.g., some reporting that they have come unlatched) and others have recommended MALICE Clips as an alternative. Perhaps good ol' 550 cord is a better option (?).

I'd really appreciate some constructive feedback on what eyelet spacing is recommended and what mounting hardware has proven the most versatile, reliable, cost-effective, etc... Many thanks in advance for your help.
