An idea for the BA3 sheath.

[UffDa]

I have a fix for the BA3 sheath problem, but I can't post the pictures. If anyone is interested enough to see them, I can e-mail them.

Basically, it's a block that prevents the knife from falling out of the sheath. The knife is removed by pulling it away from the back of the sheath. This block idea has been used for many years on leather sheaths. It doesn't work as well on this sheath because the back is too soft. A hard aluminum or plastic backing plate would fix that problem. I also thought about mounting a pin on the back of the sheath that would fit into one of the holes in the handle, but I didn't want to modified the sheath yet.

For those of us who are comprehensionally challenged, a pic sure would help.

Why not attach a snap-band like on the Swamp Rat sheath or other cordura & kydex lined sheathes? Would that work? You know, wrap around the handle like a wristwatch and snap together in front? (Why does'nt Busse just make them this way?)

There are many ways to skin a cat. (Sorry, cat lovers) My idea isn't the only one out there, but it doesn't require fasteners of any kind to work. I would still use the cord and snap if I was going to do any running or jumping. ( If I could run and jump.)

Any gold members out there who would help me post a few pics?
