Velcro Problems, etc.
As a knifemaker we have tried using a velcro holding strap over the guard on the leather sheath for years on the old A/F Combat fixed blades. This caused two problems, first is the noise of unhooking the velcro. Second is the problem of velcro hooking everthing else and holding onto it, like lint, plant materials, dirt, etc. This all leads to the velcro not working. I hate trying to clean dirty velcro. Next, are those ZIPPERS made from METAL or PLASTIC? If you get a metal zipper hot and then it touches the skin-you get burnt. I know this first hand from wearing the zipper front logging hickory shirts all the time in the shop while both welding and working at the forge. If your in the desert sun and have to lay down on top of it, your burnt.
