BK7 and spec-ops

Matt,

I just rec'vd several Spec Ops sheaths from LAPoliceGear, both the survival & combat master, in 8" & 6" models in different flavors.
No, the little thumb protrusion(s) on the top makes it a bit too wide just by about < 1/4". I'm think of just grinding off that much to get it to fit for my nephew. It's worth doing that because those Spec Ops sheaths are awesome.
Heating and re-molding that plastic insert won't do it, because the nylon stitching/web material won't allow that much width. .... you have to grind off that little amount, and somehow blacken it again....

The SpecOps combat is the sheath that was provided with the Becker Extreme. Since the Extreme is essentially a BK7 with different steel and handles, unless camillus had SpecOps make a special version of the sheath I don't see how it wouldn't fit with minimal re-molding.
 
Loken,
I'm goin have to try to re-shape it again.

Added:
I went to our closest plant, and used a heat shrink heat gun on the insert. It will not expand far enough to accept the BK7. Possibly, Becker had SO make a slightly larger insert for the BK77. Anyway, Im not goin' mess up that plactic insert by possibly making it too brittle.
