The MP600 is Gerber's military multitool: 14 tools, about 9 ounces, 5 inches closed, with the spring-loaded plier head that deploys one-handed with a flick of the wrist. It is USA-made and has been on duty belts for two decades, usually in Gerber's nylon pouch.
The MP600's whole trick is the one-hand plier deployment, and a pouch with a flap kills it. A molded kydex sheath holds the closed MP600 by its frame, clicks, and lets you draw and flick the pliers open in one movement. With the Tek-Lok clip it rides on a duty belt up to 2.25 inches.

The sheath, reviewed
1. Kydex Sheath for the Gerber MP600
Molded in kydex to the tool it is named for, handmade in the U.S.A. by military veterans, with adjustable retention and an audible click when the tool seats. Available in black, black carbon fiber, and coyote brown carbon fiber. Guaranteed for life.
How to carry it
On a belt
The sheath ships with the standard Clip & Carry belt clip, which is universal across all our multitool sheaths and carries the tool vertically on a normal belt.
On a duty or work belt
Swap the clip for the Tek-Lok belt clip, which fits belts up to 2.25 inches wide and attaches with the sheath's existing holes.
On a pack, vest or bag
The MOLLE clip replaces the belt clip using the same screws and mounts the sheath to MOLLE webbing on a bag or plate carrier.
Why kydex
Kydex is a thermoformed plastic that is molded directly on the tool, so the sheath holds it by shape rather than by squeezing it. It does not absorb water, oil, or sweat, does not stretch, does not fray at the belt loop, and lets the tool draw with one hand. A retention screw sets how firmly it holds. It is why every sheath here is guaranteed for life.
Frequently asked questions
Does the sheath fit the MP600 bladeless?
Yes. It shares the MP600 body.
Does it fit the Gerber Suspension or Truss?
No. Those have their own sheaths.
Can I mount it on a duty belt?
Yes, with the Tek-Lok clip for belts up to 2.25 inches.
Does the one-hand plier deployment work from the sheath?
Yes. Draw, flick, and the pliers are out.
The bottom line
If you carry the tool daily, the Kydex Sheath for the Gerber MP600 is the upgrade that keeps it on your belt, clicks it in, and outlasts the pouch it came with. Add the Tek-Lok for a duty belt or the MOLLE clip for a pack.
