Hello Beckerheads!
Today I made my first purchase of a quality knife. I always found myself purchasing cheap little pocket knives that you can find at flea markets and such (which is a good thing, because I can't seem to remember where I've placed them). The only knife that was in my possession before today was a Case knife that belonged to my grandfather.
After doing hours upon hours of which knife to buy and why, I finally decided on the Becker BK-2. I ordered it Friday and just received it today. I am very impressed with how stout it feels! I knew it was a beast, but pictures and videos on the internet do not do this blade justice!
If you're familiar with the BK-2, then you are likely familiar with it's sheath as well. One thing I wish to improve is the nylon belt loop that comes attached to the sheath. The belt loop has a clamp on it that helps secure the knife into place while its in the sheath. Once the clamp around the knife handle is undone, the knife likes to flop around, which is less than ideal if you are wanting to sheathe your knife temporarily and then unsheathe it again (more of a nuisance than anything). My question is: what are some easy fixes to correct this problem?
I've been trying to find easy solutions to this problem, but have yet to find any that were feasible for myself. Most solutions involved either buying a new sheath completely or completely replacing the strap.
If anyone has any tips or ideas for me to get the most out of this knife, it would be appreciated. I attached a lanyard to it using a piece of paracord, but thats the only addition I've made to it. Thanks in advance!
P.S. Sorry for the lengthy post. Also, if this is a repeated thread, I apologize for that as well. As a new member, there's so much content to try and sort through!
