Personally I wouldn't be to concerned about the snaps coming open just by the weight of the knife swinging around. I have a Bulldog Regulator in a dangler attachment like that from Rainwalker and it's never been an issue. Oh and it also has an Eze-lap model M diamond sharpener too. So I would say the weight of mine is equal to or greater than the chophouse.

Just looked, the Bulldog supposedly is 14.4oz and the ChopHouse Leaner 15oz.
