I agree it is disconcerting to have an ill fit for the knife when the product is sold as an accessory for that specific knife.

The reality is that in this modern mass market arena, they often give you function with compromises in appearance or fit. The choice once you have the item is to make it work as best as possible, not use it, or return it for a refund. The last two choices cost more than making it work.

Years ago, I ordered one of those head coverings that had like 7 different configurations and uses. It was advertised as "one size fits all" and I felt confident because it was being sold by "US CAVALRY" which had a good reputation at that time. I have a rather large head (I say a result of excess brain power, my friends say it's my ego.), so that the product was an uncomfortable fit. I returned it to "US CAVALRY" with a request for a unit that fit or a full refund including their shipping costs to me and my shipping costs to them. They refused and simply refunded my purchase price for the unit. For this reason alone which happened more than 25 years ago, I have never purchased anything from "US CAVALRY" again.

By the way, soon after that the head covering was advertised as "one size fits most".
