Many options exist: there are MOLLE attachments (for those of us in the army I guess)

there are straps so it can be worn on your calf, good aspect: it's out of the way- bad side is that it gets hit on rocks and such hiking in tight corners and it weighs you down while swimming

you can wear it on your belt with a thigh strap- My girlfriend's thigh is thin enough to fit in that strap- I dont know any self respecting guy that could though.

It rubs and it's uncomfortable. However it does stop the heavy knife from wagging and does also allow it to be drawn from the tight sheath assembly without having to do some sort of thumb action. Any ideas?

Wearing it on the waist without the thigh strap: it wags, sticks out, and the knife is hard to get out of the sheath.


About the recurring problem of the 2 snaps being too tight: i found that by leaving them snapped in place the webbing stretched.

About the 2nd strap closest to the sheath being unnecessary and getting in the way of the knife as it's going back in the sheath. My solution, buckle the snap in reverse: inside the belt loop.


I'm going camping this weekend... If i remember to bring a camera you may have some pictures!

Yeah, the straps on the LMF2 are annoying so I leave them at home and either wear mine on my belt or sometimes I will use the molle attachments to strap it to my pack.

Like you said those two snaps are way too tight so I usually just leave them unsnapped. Even without the snaps, the knife is held in the sheath so securely that there's no way it will fall out.

Upside down in my armpit using the thigh strap on my shoulder under a jacket.
Can't even tell it's there.
I have also worn it like this - the jacket while riding around raising hell around the neighborhood on my buddies and my atv's and my motorcycle.
The glass breaker works pretty good, I tried it on a condemed house.
