Here is my Q oatmeal I'll call Quaker. This thing chops nice. It feels great in the hand.

Here is a pic comparing it to the FK2 and BFK. It is lighter than the BFK and little heavier than the FK2. I feel its about the same weight as the FK3. I don't have a scale but there ya go.

Has anyone installed a belt adapter on the kydex sheath? I'm looking at the Sagewood one. I have that on some other kydex sheaths and it works good. If I install a belt clip on the sheath now it will ride too high for me. I've got some shoulder issues or maybe I've got a donut and ice cream problem. Either way I need it lower. Grabbing my carry gun iwb at 1-2 oclock is ok. I would wear a thigh rig if that was acceptable.

Try scout carry up front. That's how I set up my kydex sheath. Reach across with my right hand to 11 o'clock and pull out horizontally. It locks in the sheath perfectly. See my post above about moving one screw for better access with easy draw, resheathing and strong retention.

FWIW,

I did a little experimenting and found that the perfect draw and re-sheathing tension was achieved by moving the top screw down on the edge side. (Of course, it matters how you're carrying.)

The knife is very secure in the sheath, even with significant shaking...and is withdrawn and replaced very smoothly.

Give it a try if it doesn't conflict with your method of carry. (I have the Tek-Lok set up for horizontal carry.)

The more I play with this knife, the more special it gets. What great ergos.

I ordered mine with the belt loop, seems to sit about right for me.

yeah I love the drop loops and the velcro on them works amazingly well. I like the drop loops because they make the height of the handle sit perfect... some other carry options on the belt make the handle sit up in my ribs lol. And, I can't take credit for the drop loops... the design is that of Mashed Cat Outfitters which he made for my first run of Q's but since he stopped making them and sheath for me I started making everything in house haha

Maybe I’ll see if Josh can get me one.

I do have a few extra but the big thing is that I would need your sheath so I can make the backing plate that the drop loop connects to

I use them on two or three knives. Excellent gear. I usually buy the combo which includes the dangler for more options.

I have them on a couple also and also have an extra dangler if needed. The main part I needed was the part that mounts to the sheath but for $10 more the belt loop also and that keeps me from having to look for something so thats a plus. Or not depends who you ask. LOL Everytime I need to do a plumbing project I buy a roll of tape. Cleaning out garage last weekend I found like 8 rolls with just a little used. Told my wife at least they are only like a dollar. LOL
