Tyson's work belt

"He used his belt for most of his essential gear. His multi-purpose knife was attached to his belt by a leather sheath on the left side of his body. His gun in the same way to his right, several magazines were attached behind the knife - where it felt most natural and easy to access them. Covering his belt from view was a strong length of rope, wrapped through the belt loops of his trousers, again for easier access. As knives didn’t need to be refilled with ammo, where ammo might have gone behind the gun was instead a metal flask of water and a metal container that worked as a simple first aid kit." - Quote from thread.
There are several different parts of Tyson's work belt. When in public is jacket usually covered the weapons so that he doesn't panic the public and when wearing this he always makes a point to put his dog tags on top of his clothes so that anyone who spots the weapons will assume that he's a military operative working with the police - this has worked well so far.
Knives.
Tyson usually has his hunting knife in the sheath and keeps his silver edged knife in his rucksack. The handles of these knives start being hollow two thirds of the way down the handle, which means that the rest of the handle contained the tang of the blade - making it hard to snap off and difficult to break. The silver edged knife's rubber edged handle is filled with salt, the blade of this knife is six inches long.

The hunting knife has a serrated edge on the back side. The handle has black rubber grips over the metal and is custom made to fit Tyson's hand/grip style. The removable cap of the handle has a compass on it, on the side that faces up so that it can always been seen. The hollow part of this knife contains a whetstone, two pieces of flint to make a fire (spark) with a small box of wood chips to use as kindling, and a fake circular stone (make to look like a piece of Heliotrope) that is actually a GPS chip to track Tyson's location. The blade of the hunting knife is seven inches long and he keeps a spare version of this blade in his rucksack at all times.
Gun and magazines.
The kind of gun Tyson uses is a Glock 17 9mm pistol. It is registered. General Clarkson had it sent to him for protection from Sebastian soon after he cleared Tyson of all criminal charges based on his shooting and Tyson's departure from the forces.

There are several attachments available for this gun but the only one Tyson has, mostly kept in his rucksack, is the torch. The only other gun Tyson owners is a Browning 9mm, the gun he took with him when he was forced to abandon the army by Sebastian.

Tyson's preferred weapon is the knives but he can't complain.
