Thank you for your input. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the tight clip on our Scout Feather Adventure Survival Knife. As you noted in your review, we're currently working on improving the design of the clip. The original design intent for this clip was for sternum straps and webbing on backpacks. We have found it does work with canvas style belts but is too tight/grippy with thicker belts and materials (particularly with leather belts). But we hear you and the recommendations of others as well and the new clip design is in the works. We'll send out a notice when they're available. In the meantime, we hope you can make use of Scout Feather as a neck knife, or with the clip on a sternum strap, other webbing or a canvas belt. We appreciate your support and understanding. You obviously love the outdoors and we have nothing but love for you. Hope you have some awesome outdoor adventures ahead!
