How snug is the sheath retention? Is there a chance it could fall out when worn as neck knife?

I wear mine as a neck knife and have never had a problem with it. The kydex or whatever it is formed into the first choil, so it won't wear away from use. When you pull it from the sheath, the two halves flex at the indentations on the first choil. So there is no material being worn away like on some sheaths.

Yes on two of my crkt knives that I purchased they both slide out easily making it nit possible to wear them as neck knives

Knife is held in place VERY well with no chance of sliding out unless you pull on it, whether used with the loop or inverted around your neck.

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.

Could be a little tighter, but I have been wearing it around my neck for over a week and had zero problems

Not a chance man, this is mean't to be a neck knife. I have had this for a couple of months now. I can tell you in full confidence it will not fall out :)

There is always "a chance" that the neck knife could come out of the sheath. Any neck knife". Mostly it would be due to snagging it on something, like a shirt sleeve or jacket when it is being removed or put on, or a branch or rock , etc. that you rub against. That being said, my sheath seems relatively secure and, if I keep it down my T-shirt, it is less likely to snag on something. Hope this was helpful. R Burd Sr

It's very snug. The Kydex is formed to require a tug to remove it. I wear it all day and never fear that it will fall out.

Hello Guru. I double checked that portion in which you are asking about. it should fit with little to no problem. The "belt" loop is +/- 4 inches and should fit a standard pant/5.11 belt.The only issue I have with this sheath is that I have the older style very thick handle and the straps that hold the snaps to secure the knife in the sheath itself are to short and will require some modification to work. But other than that small issue, this sheath is what I have been looking for,.Hope this helps

it has 550 cord holes and fo-550 cord neck less, this is the best way to strap it on. Having said that do not carry it with the hilt down like it is designed. The knife will fall out quickly and you will either lose it or have it stab you depending on where you place it. The sheath is ok for casual civilian where but even then I've lost two of them, put it any environment like hunting or even worse deployment and it will be gone in a few moments.

I wish I could tell you for sure, my husband's knife was on Old Henry and it was too loose in the one the company sent me. The sheath it's self was very nice, we ordered the medium size and was sent a large so be careful.

I bought mine to replace a broken sheath for a Schrade lockback folding knife, and it fit perfectly. I own a Leatherman, too, which is much smaller than my knife, so I would think that this sheath would more than accommodate it.

I got mine a few years ago, there seemed to be a problem with the sheath at that time (I fixed it with a couple staples @ the retention spot.) Since then I read that they fixed the problem. To answer your question, at first the retention sucked! But they are a great company, and with one email, they sent me the newer improved sheath, for free of course, and it is WAY better. The knife will not fall out now. Over all, a great LITTLE knife!

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.

Well, that didn't happen to me, so I can only guess. Maybe the sheath heated and cooled during transport and has trapped the knife.Or something was jammed into the sheath when the knife was inserted at the factory.My knife slides loose after a firm tug on the strap or handle.Sorry I don't know more.Maybe a call/Email to CRKT might help.www.CRKT.com

That will depend on how you intend to use it. THe sheath would seem a little bulky for around your neck.

There is a distinct click when I sheath the blade. & by far one of the tights hugs on a blade I have. I have turned the knife upside down on mine & shook it several times without it falling out.

I've never tried going underwater with this knife, but I don't see why not....the knife's holster holds the knife is very tight. I hike/run with the knife in the upside down position, and have never had it fall out. Hope this helps.

Yes it does lock into place. However, after a few uses it becomes loose in the sheath. I haven't had any issues with it falling out while wearing it around my neck but it is noticably loose. Also, the sheath has a tendency to dull the edge after extracting and replacing a few times. I've heard this is because of the glass reinforcement in the sheath. It's not a deal breaker by any means. The sheath works for what it is intended.

The sheath in the photo can be worn inverted without the button snapped and it will stay secured. I had this inverted on my flak jacket while deployed and it never fell out. You can also tighten the screws to make the hold a little tougher depending on what you need it for.

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.

Yup.. It clips into sheath fairly well and also has 2 snap straps to help it stay in super secure for deep woods types of hiking.. Haven't had a problem with it comeing out ever.. Hope that helps

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.
