Hi guys, last week I bought an Esee 4 with the KSF leather sheath. LOVE IT!
One complaint: the retainer strap is in my way when re-sheathing. Now I'm a farmer & construction worker and I use my knife about ever 92sec so I do a lot of drawing / re-sheathing and already the hold down strap has a few knicks in it from the blade so there's that but mostly it's just in my way. I try to tuck it up between the outer part and my belt and that works OK for a bit but it doesn't tuck there securely enough to stay. I was thinking id try to somehow attach it there... Maybe a snap I put there (on the inside of the belt loop part) or even just some sort of nylon or leather band/strap to keep it there.
Ideas which add the least physical bulk (I don't mind weight, an extra oz is nothing... bulk is what bothers me)? Thanks guys!
