The D ring is fixed directly to the sheath with an ultrastrong adapter, preventing creasing or breakage in the event that you snag the sheath while moving through the brush. The dangler is a loop that goes up and over your belt, then through a D ring below the belt. This method allows you to suspend the knife from your belt, making it more comfortable to draw a longer blade as well as making your knife more accessible in cases where you might be wearing a shirt untucked, or a jacket. The plates can get creased or broken, but the loop will bend and flex under stress, while remaining stiff and sturdy under normal conditions. Unlike conventional standoff plates or “drop plates”, the fixed loop provides all the benefits of the lower position, but eliminates the vulnerabilities. It is a nice option for those who don’t want the sheath to swing freely, and who also don’t want the knife to be up high on the belt. This is the same as the dangler, except the loop is fixed directly to the sheath, effectively cutting out the articulating D ring. It also only allows for horizontal carry positions, though it doesn’t require any removal or repositioning to switch hands it is entirely ambidextrous as is. Unfortunately, if the knife is large or really have l heavy, this method is less practical. It is the lowest profile option for scout/horizontal carry. This is a wide leather loop that goes over the spine of the sheath and has rugged pull the dot snaps (aka one-way fasteners) to allow for adding/removing the sheath without undoing the belt.
