Howdy folks, I live kinda rural and not many folks to talk to. I see the sheaths now with a d ring attaching a belt loop to the sheath. What is the purpose of these? Doesn't it make the knife flop around? I almost always carry a fixed blade knife usually tucking the sheath into my back pocket when I head to town. Is that what it's for? Excuse the curiosity. Thanks, mp

That is exactly what he is talking about.
To the OP, a dangler is used to lower the knife sheath for style, comfort or function. Here are a few examples as to why someone would want a dangler:
1) Someone has a backpack with a waist belt and the knife would be in the way without a dangler.
2) The sheath and knife may ride high and be uncomfortable to carry. A dangler could solve that problem in short order. And, for a lot less money than a custom sheath too.
3) You drive a truck but the knife handle is a hassle and gets in the way of the seat belt or will tear up the upholstery. Adding a dangler could solve both of those issues.
Hope this was helpful.
