How secure is the knife in the sheath. If its hung upside down, will it be secure or will it fall out? Thanks.

Mine is very secure and would carry the knife upside down. The knife does rattle somewhat, however.

It's very secure. You have to pull on it to remove it from the sheath. I love it it's very nice and high quality.

It's as secure as any kydex-type sheath. It won't come out from an insignificant force.

This knife is surprisingly very well made for the price. I'm extremely happy with it. I've recommended it to several of my colleagues and none have had any complaints. The knife securely seats into the sheath. I wear mine on my tac belt horizontally. I have ran, jumped, and have worn it day in and out without any issues. It has never come out of its sheath. However, I have not tested it in the inverted position. But the sheath securely holds the knife.

Retention is good. Holding sheath upside down and shaking vigorously knife stays in place.

This knife is not likely to come loose, but i'm not a surfer either. you get thick rubber straps that don't budge even when the ocean is kicking up quite a bit. the knife snaps into its holster and won't release unless you push on it with your thumb. you should work with that to make certain you are used to using it in the ocean. should be exactly what you want.

Yes, there is a snap strap to secure it in the sheath. However, if that unsnaps the knife will fall out.

I haven't experienced any sort of problems with the locking mechanism, and the spring seems to hold up very well (I have been constantly using the knife for months now.)The only thing that I have had a problem with is the clip. It sticks out at the bottom and can catch on different parts of your clothing and surroundings; I had to take mine off and re-bend it back into shape after it got caught particularly badly.

I agree withKM2014.I have two of these little brutes and I left the original lanyards on them.You could try a product such as "Breakaway" to coat the sheath where the knife is held securely.This way the knife could be drawn out and not break the ball-chain. Too much lubricant could make the knife too loose in the sheath. I would leave it alone.

You can loosen it up some .. Mine was tough at first but I kept snapping an unsparing it works fine now !!! I went to a kydex sheath wich is very nice !! The sheath that came wth the knife is nice to but the kydex is the way to go !!!

I've only worn it as a horizontal carry belt knife, just as a disclaimer. I have had the knife for nearly a year now, and it's slipped out of its sheath once (a couple days ago, doing yard work). I had been applying pressure to my waist, so I don't think that really counts, but it can slip out if the right (very rare, and highly unlikely) circumstances arise.

At first, the cap stayed on nice and snug. But now, for me at least, the cap is very loose and isn't strong enough to hold up its own weight, meaning if you have the knife upside-down in a cup or something, the cap will stay in the cup if you pick up the knife. I can't confirm that this will happen every time, however, because I've only owned the one knife.

I collect a lot of knives. Currently, this knife is stored away. I believe it is a liner lock. If you look into the blade compartment you should see a flat piece of metal, along the blade "liner" that locks the blade in place. You should be able to push this liner away from the blade to release the blade allowing it to close. Try that and let me know if it works.

What details? It's a work knife, not a vase. As far as getting loose, no it won't. It's made of a single piece. It's a great knife.

The sheath retains the knife with a snap, it won't fall out easily. It has a belt loop, no millie attachment. This is a Very Solid knife, but the sheath is 'kinda cheap. I made own sheath out of leather & kydex.

The quality of the blade appears to very good. The tip is extremely sharp and the knife is well balanced. I dont have the knife handy right now so i cant answer your question about the alignment. If it was mis-aligned it wasn't enough to notice. The sheath appears to be made of tough thick leather (a little stiff) and the stitching looks sturdy. Hope this helps

I would think you might have a bit of difficulty unsnapping the tabs on this knife holder. It takes a certain bit of pressure combined with a twist of the wrist. I'd suggest trying to find a sheath-like protector that you could slide the knife into instead.

I haven't had to mis use the knife so I couldn't say. But I am very happy with it. It feels to me that it stays locked if mine were to come unlocked then I Shirley was misusing it. I carry mine everyday

I think it would hold, but probably not if you're running, jumping, or anything strenuous. It is strong enough to hold the knife, but the knife is pretty easy to get out of the sheath. I'd recommend carrying it with the tip down in the sheath in a pocket.

Yes, I carried this knife in the stock sheath on my chest rig for about 7 months of hard use, never a problem. As long as the sheath is mounted to something it is secure, if it is thrown in a bag with heavy objects the sheath could possibly bend, releasing the knife.

This is a great knife. It feels real secure in my hand. I don't think you will have anything to worry about when handling this knife.
