The Lanyard — Break-Away Tether
A simple, reliable tether for any Defender with lanyard holes. The break-away snap is rated for 1,000 cycles and releases your tool cleanly when you need it, then clicks right back together. A knot-and-washer design spreads the pull for real durability. Thread it through your tool, clip it to a belt, purse, or neck rig, and knot it shorter if you want it tight. Fits every Defender except the Ivan.
The Neck Rig — Wear It, Reach It
Wear your Defender where you can reach it fast. A one-piece Kydex holster — no rivets, no metal — that grips your tool by its digit-capture hole and draws clean. The friction-knot cord adjusts to any body, and converts into a shoulder holster. Fits any Defender with a digit-capture hole.
The Break-Away Wrist Rig — Run With It
Built for hands that stay busy — runners especially. Your Defender rides in your hand, ready. When you need that hand for something else — a gate, a shoelace, a door — just drop it and let it dangle from your wrist. A quick flip brings it back up, or use your other hand until the flip becomes second nature.
Here’s why the break-away matters. Runners have long threaded a fixed cord loop through the lanyard hole and run it around the arm. Half of that idea is right: your tool stays with you. The other half is the problem — a fixed loop keeps you attached to your tool even in the moment you most need to be free of it. The break-away solves exactly that. One strong, fast pull and you’re released, clean and instant. You come free. That’s the whole point.
Adjustable paracord loop, 25-inch length, spring hook. Fits every Defender except the Ivan.
The Robust Clip — Clip It Anywhere
Turn any Defender into a clip-and-go carry piece. The robust clip holds firm on a belt, waistband, web gear, or shirt collar. Fully reversible for right- or left-handed carry with one screw. Order it installed, or add it to a tool you already own. Field-tested six months. Fits any Defender except the Ivan.
The Solo Kydex Holster — Click In, Draw Fast
A clean, single-tool Kydex holster for any Defender with a digit-capture hole. No rivets, no metal. Your tool slides in, captures securely, and clicks back in place — run, jump, or move and it stays put. Use it on its own, or run your own paracord through the top holes for a custom rig. Step up to the neck-rig version if you want it worn. Fits any Defender with a digit-capture hole.
The Robust Clip Kydex Holster — Secure It, Angle It
Two carry solutions fused into one: the Kydex holster’s secure capture plus the robust clip’s versatility. Y-shape capture by the digit-capture hole, every clip pull-tested. A sturdy rivet lets it rotate a full 360° for the exact carry angle you want. Clip it to web gear, a belt, a pocket, or a t-shirt collar, and move the whole unit in seconds. Designed with Dr. Q. Fits any Defender with a digit-capture hole — every model except the Ivan, Stealth, and Swan.
Grip Tape — Hold On When It Counts
The most important part of any tool is the handle — if you can’t hold on, it can’t protect you. Grip tape drastically lowers the odds of losing your Defender when your hands are wet, gloved, or taking a hit. Waterproof, 0.78 mm, black; fits just below the head. Order it applied, or do it yourself. Works on every model except the Ivan.
