My fixed blade is a Cold Steel SRK. I love that knife, but I'm not too crazy about the sheath. It rides too low, it is floppy, and it is made of thin untreated leather which is starting to wear badly. I plan to make a new one out of thicker leather with a pouch for a small sharpening stone. When i make it, it will be a high-ride type with a tight fitting belt slot instead of the standard loop-over-the-belt-and-flop-around kind.<br><br>While wearing this and other knives, or my pistol, I usually end up sliding them around towards the back of my hip so that they don't jab me in the side when I am moving around. That position is less likley to get snagged on things which could undo any retaining snaps. While wearing a pack, I just slide it back as far as the pack will allow. I have tried sliding it forward but then it digs into my legs whenever I bend or kneel and i can't get into my fron pocket. You can try wearing the belt strap from the pack right over the knife, might help make it more secure and like you said you will not likley get into a knife quick draw contest. I have never tried the leg carry with gun or knife. It seems that might get snagged on brush easily.
