Did you stick your brand new Cold steel knife into its secure-ex sheath and now it wont come out?
The easiest way is to hold the handle and gently strike down on the lip of the sheath with a rubber mallet or plastic faced hammer.
Heat also works like hot water or a blow dryer/heat gun but the hammer is easier.
To prevent it from sticking in the future sanding down the little nubs that lock in the hilt with sand paper works but sand a little and try because it is easy to remove material but very hard to replace it.
Using a rotary tool or other power tool for this is sketchy due to the ease of removing too much and having a loose fitting knife would be a PITA.
