Tension Screw

[MikePerrin]

Some folks are losing the tension screw on their Kydex sheath due to continuously moving it up and down so trying to use it as a 'lock' in the up position and lowering it to 'release' the knife. You will lose it this way. The screw will eventually work its way out of the post and fall out.

The intent was for the user to move it to the comfortable lock up position/tension for that user then tighten the screw down with a screw driver at that point and leave it alone. If you really insist on moving it back and forth I would definitely put some Lock Tite on the screw threads and set the screw where you want it. Mike

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

This is Mike's polite way of saying:

"Hey dumbasses, if you keep moving your screw back and forth and don't tighten it down without using lock-tite it is going to fall out and be lost forever. And then you will call me for a replacement."

If that's not what he's saying, then it's what I'm saying.

Cool way of using it though! But yeah, doing so without using some Loc-Tite on it is stupid stupid dumb. Please don't be stupid stupid dumb, folks! :thumbup:

I adjusted it off the sheath.
Kydex is annoying enough without extra tension.
