Soooooooooo......
I seriously have an issue with high riding handles on Kydex sheaths. In my expierence when a knife is of a size RMD (even this one is almost too small for a dangler )sized or bigger a dangler is the only option I purchase when buying kydex.
The problem is small knives that are too small for most dangler set-ups...say SOB and Rodent Solution sized.
I found that the cheap Mora knives with thier pouch style plastic sheaths are far more Ideal for belt carry than kydex and tek-loks that only cover slightly more than the blade.
Not sure if anyone is faced with this issue, but I would like to challenge the Kydex benders here to find a way to get more/most of the handle more even on the belt line. Nothing makes me happier than sitting down or bending wrong and getting jabbed with the handle of my knife.
Whoever can accomplish this would make me most grateful, and most likely earn my business for the 8 knives from Ohio that are coming my way. Those are just the ones I have on order as of now, more are likely to be ordered on any given Wednesday until Busse/Kin goes back to a fixed line-up.
If anyone else is on board please voice your opinion here....
My thoughts are a Kydex version of a Randall style pouch sheath much like the Mora Companion models.
This is not directed toward any specific maker, almost all kydex sheaths, factory or custom, irritate me the same....plain and simple, too much knife above the belt line if it does not have a dangler.
