Simple Fix for ARK Sheath

#1

Post by ed9957 »

I just received my Spyderco Ark that I bought online. It is smaller than I thought but it will be a handy blade. The retention of the knife in the sheath was a bit less than I preferred. To improve it, I put a small dab of "Shoe Goo" on the inside of the sheath (both sides) on the nub that grips the handle. I smoothed out the Shoe Goo and I let it dry without the knife in place. After the mod there is significantly more retention which is more to my liking. I wouldn't be to keen to have that sharp blade pop out of the sheath while it was being neck carried :)

It seems the sheath is kinda hit or miss and retention is based on preference. My factory sheath holds well during running and jumping and any activity i can think to do. Except maybe bungee jumping or skydiving. Any pics of the mod?
