does this sheath hold securely enough for inverted carry?

Yes, it fits very snug and it somewhat "clicks in" and stays in until you give it a nice tug.

This sheath holds very well in inverted carry. I've hiked with this knife in inverted for several miles and had my strap rubbing against the knife/sheath and never came undone. It has a positive click so you know its locked in well. Also does not make it too difficult to remove in an urgent need. Dunno bout a knife combat scenario but how often do you come across that?
752302
Yes, there is a snap strap to secure it in the sheath. However, if that unsnaps the knife will fall out.
752303
Yes, but you have to make sure the knife goes in all the way untill you here the click, and then it should be good to go

Little large for that. Maybe if on back but still a little large for carrying sideways. I don't believe the sheath is designed for it either.

I keep it upside down(handle pointed down) on my backpack shoulder strap and its has yet to fall out (fingers crossed)

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.

That's how I carry it & it rides fine. There are a couple of after market sheaths that sit better & have better retention. The one I have costs more than the knife but I think it's worth it. Let me know if you are interested.

Yes the sheath does a good job holding it firm. It is a little hard to pull out at first but use a little oil with it and works fine.

The sheath is made to wear vertical. With some adjustments it could be worn horizontal

I added this knife to collection a few months ago and found it to be a beautifully made and finished combat dagger. I tested today to answer this specific question and am satisfied that the molded plastic sheath holds the knife firmly[stays in, held upsidedown without strap] but pulls out easily ,no snagging

Mine has a very snug fit. Like a drop safe gun holster, it takes pressure to pull the knife out of the sheath.

Yes, I have carried mine at work everyday for a few years and still going strong. I have however had it pull out from getting caught on something, but I do not fault the sheath for this.

The knife absolutely stays in the sheath. I have mine fixed upside down in a bag and it has never fallen out.

I like mine very much. I carry it handle down on the belt, with the sheath slightly modded.

It is secure and does click like most of the cold steel secure Ex sheaths. Nothing to worry on that front :)

Mine came with the "heavy-duty hard plastic sheath, which shouldn't hold moisture like leather. The hand guard locks into place on the sheath and there are two options to secure the knife in the sheath with Velcro straps. The knife doesn't move around in the sheath, nor does the sheath flop around.

My friend this is a "friction" sheath and should be a tight fit. That is to keep it from accedently falling out. As you use it it will become a bit more lose and should be fine hope this helps! Btw this is one of my favorits now!

Theres a little tab in the sheath that applys preasure to the blade however its not enough to hold it when its upside down. A mod is probably your best bet if you want your blade to remain held with out the safety strap. Are you planning to put it on your shoulder?

Zytel sheath has a lock in it. So the knife will stay in the sheath even when not snapped. It's not a super tight lock, just enough to keep it in the sheath.
