I’ve been really liking this little Boker BFF Packlight in Magnacut. It’s useful across a wide range of tasks/environs including food prep and saltwater. It’s easy to clean + care for, and there is no where for sand/food to gunk it up. It pocket carries really well, and I do not find the need to adorn it in paracord. The knife itself weighs 1.1 oz, but the stock sheath weighs over half that and is bulky. So I’ve made this PLA sheath which is only 4.5mm thick. It disappears in the pocket.

Mods:

  • Flat ground spine – now strikes a ferro rod well.
  • 3d printed sheath w/ retention tab for a secure “click”.
  • 3/16″ ferro rod with 3d printed handle (weighs less than 0.1 oz).

Love it. I’d love to see your retention tab.

What are the other two weekends?

What material did you you use to print the sheath?    how did you attach the handle to the rod, epoxy superglue or?

Yeah it’s just printed out of PLA and the pieces superglued together. PLA and superglue are a good combination. It’s printed in 2 halves and these are glued together, and then about 1 cm from the base of the sheath is not glued. This creates a spring-like effect where the retention tab (half-cylinder visible below) clicks into the space within the tang of the knife.
