My survivalsheath sheath arrived today.

It's a handle-down leg sheath fitted for a Kershaw Trooper. I'm happy with it, except for one thing. The straps are made of nylon cloth overlaying elastic bands. In one spot, the nylon has ripped, exposing the elastic (it arrived that way). Because there is no nylon there, the band will just stretch and never tighten on my leg, so it's always a little loose. Also, it may break or wear down since it's unprotected. Should I just sew a patch over the rip?

Talk to the maker and have him send you another strap or send it back to him fix.

I sent an e-mail to the maker explaining to him what I have here, along with a picture of the strap: http://www.imgmag.org/images/pseudoname/Dscf0010.jpg

By the way, I want to make clear that I'm not badmouthing survivalsheath, I think this was just a fluke.

Did you mean to say a "handle down" leg sheath? If so, how do you draw it?

One thing I never let the troopers in my company do was wear a knife upside down, no matter what kind of sheath it was in. Gravity is a constant, and sometime in your life, you'll find you've lost your knife.
