Custom bottom eject sheath

[Dtrap]

So my brother was talking with Jeremy Horton a few weeks ago and he needed a kydex sheath he liked for a customers custom axe. My brother assured him we could design something to suit his needs so he shipped us one serious chopping machine. His customer wanted something to mount to his pack so he could draw it without removing his pack. I decided to try a bottom eject sheath so he could just pull down and twist and it would pop right out ready to swing. Here is what I ended up with.
Mounted to my Kifaru Mollie Express using mollie locks

When mounted I could easily reach the handle and with a swift tug I was ready for business.

Great design! Does it take a good amount of force to pull it free (not going to flop out on a hike)?

It takes a good tug. I tried my best to shake it out and it stayed put. I probably looked pretty funny running and jumping around my front yard with my pack on.

Looks awesome. I haven't found the justification for an axe yet but if/when I do I will be looking for something similar.
