Cliched BK15 and hiking kit... nothing that hasn't been seen before.

The second strap is a necessity to abide by military regulations/rules on knife sheaths, they have to be double retention (or at least that's how I understand it)...so it's a prudent design addition not ''useless'' or ''redundant''.

I thought that rule was based on how it was secured, like a minimum of two forms of retention for making it jump-safe, and to be honest, that top strap won't hold the knife in at all, I guarantee that you can sheath/unsheath the knife without undoing that top strap, which would mean it's not jump-safe anyhow.

I agree. While the top strap isn't 'extraneous', it doesn't make the knife jump safe or compliant with military specs. Either way, still an awesome knife and sheath system.

This is very true regardless of the top strap.

Looks great man! I clich'd my 16 and waiting for the production 15, don't feel like sanding off that etching again.
