The knife locks into the sheath via the guard as it engages a spring-loaded tab in the sheath’s side. Not to mention, the nylon webbing material is weather and moisture-resistant. Most rigid sheaths do not allow for this. Why? The webbing allows the sheath to move freely at your side in case it gets snagged by branches, or to self-adjust when you are seated in a chair or a vehicle. At first, the nylon webbing may seem a bit cheap but in reality it’s very smart. The sheath is well made of heavy-duty Zytel with a nylon webbing belt loop and button-snap retention strap.
