I was relieved that someone's last name starts with an S! I'm glad you like it, that one is my favouriteYeah baby! This sheath grabs my HDFK like a stonemason’s handshake (in a good way) and I love the look of it just being waxed with no dye. I seeLorien sent me the sheath with the “S” brand, what a cool surprise!
if you'd like a looser fit, install some of those rubber washers between the attachment and the body of the sheath- about 1mm thick. Any washer will do, really, just make sure the ID is larger than the OD of the female fastener.She is snug! I’ve left mine in there overnight to break in and will continue for a while longer. I like that this will ride higher and not flop around mid thigh anymore.
Here’s the actual ride height comparison:
Or just back off the screws a bit until it's how you like it- just remember you did that for your next outing so you don't lose them due to them being loose. The top two screws are the ones where the pressure is applied, so loosening the fit will have mostly to do with them
The attachment is designed to close up the throat of the sheath a bit extra, since there is no safety strap to keep the knife in. Around camp, you can insert the knife until it's snug, but not all the way in, and be able to draw it easily for regular use. When you're diving between trees to avoid sentinels, you'll have your knife pushed all the way in so that you can still slit some throats with your unlossed knife.
If you want additional security, you can wrap a strap through the belt loop and around the handle for 'jump rated' retention.
