Is that correct? You can store knife partially open for quick draw where it opens fully. Or closed the knife fits snug. Both are snaps but top snap has nylon washer as to not dull blade. This one is horizontal blade tip down. But I've seen vertical with belt clip with blade tip facing back. Hope i answered your question. Quote

Members plinkercases Posted July 29, 2017 Members Report Posted July 29, 2017 Yup answered the questions thanks. To each there own but I wouldn't carry this way personally. My sheaths are more about protecting me or the owner than the knife and I don't carry for self defence so a quick draw to full open blade isn't a requirement for me.

Yeah I work with the fire dept and it's been useful a time or 2 for cutting seatbelts. Other than that I wear it with the knife in the closed position. I wear my first sheath I ever made. It's not pretty but I'm proud of it. I'll see if they let me post pictures. Quote
Members plinkercases Posted July 29, 2017 Members Report Posted July 29, 2017 it as stood the test of time. I love old worn leather pieces. and I am a buck 110 fan. I need to give mine a sharpening and polish this summer. the quick response need for the blade makes sense in your job. glad it has helped save lives and thanks for doing that job.

Yes the buck 110 has never failed me. I also got an old timer. Both really good knives. Quote
