Using an Inner Tube as a Knife Mount
Ed from Ed’s Manifesto taught his two day Weaponology course here last November (day 1 review, day 2 review). The class was around 14 hours of structured-yet-free-flowing techniques, tidbits, and tactics that Ed has picked up throughout his career.
One of the (many, many) interesting things mentioned in passing was using a bicycle inner tube to hold tools on the beltline.
I’ve been experimenting with this for a few months, and am ready to put it to the test against live opponents in my force on force training.

Thanks for the info on the innertube. Just took Ed’s Organic Mediums, very useful and interesting.
I had seen your blog and video before and I asked Ed about doing this for a nicer version of the Victoronix fruit blade. One suggestion he made today was to construct a kydex or cardboard sheath for the knife and include a pocket holster hook/tab to ensure a smooth draw that does not allow your holster to exit with the knife still on it.
I’ll probably make my own kydex sheath. To that end, I found these useful DIY instructions:

I purchased two of these because they got very good reviews, the end of the handle has a divot for retention when stabbing and when I handled the clinch pick and the sakit, the handles seemed a bit thick short and grip specific for changing grips the way Ed and the Libre system teaches, or James Williams for that matter.
Also, I like the wharncliffe profile having trained in Michael J’s MBC and having seen how the blade profile acts as a lightsaber on a pig with a t-shirt. Lo and behold Spyderco has reissued their mini wharncliffe paring knife at $20 a pop so thinking ahead and being greedy, I bought five.
Thanks again for the useful information.
Forgot to include the links for the knives.
