Hey Everyone,
I was forwarded to join the forum from Dawson Knives and was curious if anyone else has any suggested solutions. I recently purchases a Dawson Bodyguard, absolutely love the knife, however, the specific sheath that came with the knife I am not a fan of. The concept of the hybrid sheath with leather and kydex is great and has been great on other knives from Dawson, however, for the bodyguard sheath it uses a leather retention strap that sticks out beyond the sheath when latched since the retaining pin is on the opposite edge, not in the middle like other sheaths, (maybe my military background, but super annoying and looks like an eye sore). Also, rapid deployment and return of the knife, such as just simply withdrawing the knife, the blade gets caught on the leather retention strap. It seems like if they modified the kydex in some way the retention strap would not be necessary like their other sheaths. Just curious if anyone else has the same experience and/or suggestions without going out and purchasing a separate custom sheath. Thanks in advance.
