Anyone know what the plastic button on the front side of the gray knives' scabbard is for? Also why there is a button hole molded into the belt loop?

Its there to attach another sheath if you want. I guess they attach these things on buttons in Sweden.

Mine says BUCK Knives in the leather right above the button and on the button says BUCK three times in a circle.

There is piece of metal that snaps into place when the knife is opened. It is serrated near the end where it holds the blade. Depress this and the blade will close after pressing it towards the handle. Be careful!

John, There is a lock mechanism which is the titanium side of the knife. It is very secure once opened and locked. This is my favorite carry knife.

There's the webbing strap that buckles over the handguard, as well as a metal piece wrapped in clear tape inside the sheath that pushes the blade against the inner wall. However, it is secured by a plastic piece that is literally glued/bonded to the sheath via a small hole. This plastic piece (for me) arrived broken, and the bayonet rattles like no other. That being said, when the metal piece is in place, and the sheath is not broken, the blade is fairly snug and does not rattle.

There's a white plastic thing right below the blade. it's to cover the sharp blade when not in use. Just push it out. :)

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

The nylon is riveted to the sheath. the straps that hold the knife are riveted to the nylon belt loop and the sheath. You could cut just the belt loop if you don't need it, but if you remove all of the nylon you wouldn't have and straps.

Its a pocket knife. Belt clip only my use of this knife shows a high tenancy towards rust and edg retentuon is less than optimal

Not really. I had one custom made out of leather locally. They took my knife and made a nice fit with snap button for the closure and for the belt loop they had a double snap. They were reasonable. About $35.00. Took about a week. You might want to check with leather makers locally if you live in a big city. Or online if there are none available in your area. The leather will last many years longer, and I think looks better. Good luck.

There's a little medal plate where your thumb goes if you hold it in your right Hand. Press down on it and you can start folding the knife back down. Be careful tho

My sheath does not have a Velcro belt loop. You have to remove your belt. The SCHF9 has a Velcro belt loop an the blade is not stainless. Easier to sharpen

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.

Its just a replica of the weapon used in the game Assasins Creed. When you hit the button, the blade should pop out and lock. Just something for looks!

NONE of these answers help me close this knife. "thing between the knife"? WTH? Why bother to respond. "push away lock" "piece that clicks"?? Worthless guys.

I have never used the seatbelt cutter part of the knife. I have had three of these knives so far and I have to tell you they're not the highest quality. The blades loosened on all three so it rubs when you close it. When its open it wiggles quite a bit. I moved on and bought a Buck knife. Worlds apart in quality.

I have an emergency belt cutter on my keychain. It's been noticed once, but the blade can't be fully exposed, so they waved it through. I have had a utili-key confiscated though, so YMMV.
