Mine was definitely a challenge, but they break in quick. That being said the straps are borderline too snug, but they get easier once you figure how to manage em. I still occasionally have difficulty with the top strap too.

This sounds silly and I'm sure you've tried it but make sure the handle is all the way as flush up againt the sheath as it will go, and tug on both sides of the retention strap to almost make the top portion of the sheath begin to fold "around" the handle. If that doesn't work well...slice em off. I think it'll probably hold just fine with just one retention sheath in normal everyday use.
