POP just a thought, use a 'baldric' (traditional over the shoulder strap for your sword) to carry your chopper.. Alternatively when you get the DF rig it as a horizontal carry on a seperate nylon web belt around your waist- my prefered S6 carry as it 'one hand quick draws' very well like that.. (ideal when you have the thing you want to cut ie rope in one hand and you need your knife out!)
