I've also seen the type where you slide the handle down through the kydex without any snaps. I'm not really to sure I like this type either. I'm thinking the snap retention sheath just might be the best option as Buy Brown and Mashed Cat are making them this way. If anybody knows anything other than these two types please fill us in.
Remove the snap and modify the retention as you like. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
Here's the thing....
I have various kydex sheaths from David, Eric, and Jeff for various big knives and swords. Even though they provide satisfactory retention, I don't carry those off-road upside-down.
Would you carry a Waki or a B(W)M upside down on your belt or the outside of your pack in kydex while tracking a bowshot whitetail through a river bottom oak thicket?
