    Question Mounting knife to bc

    Hello All,
    I just got an Oceanic Pro Tour and a Blue Tang Knife. The problem is, that I can't figure a way to mount it to the bc. Is there any suggestions out there. I can't see a way to mount it on my shoulder strap. Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    My knife is mounted to a grommett on the left side just above the cummerbundt. /Zip tied in place at the base of the shoulder strap to a hole in the bottom of the sheath and adjacent to the weight ripcord.

    I did basically the same thing with mine on my zeagle escape. Only I zip tied it on the right side so I wouldn't accidentally grab the ripcord instead of the knife...I would hope I would notice but you never know. So far so good, its out of the way and I can tuck the 'overlength' cumberbund straps underneath the knife sheath.

    Good Luck

    Mine is mounted using zip ties to my LP inflator hose (the one coming from the 1st stage).

    Cableman,

    Here's my knife attachment to a Zeagle. The picture is upside down. Just the base of the sheath is attached to the bc.
