HK: it must have something to do with the Cerakoting and the fact that S!K is trying to avoid the sheath scratching the blade. I swapped around yesterday and the sheath for the CFV is too loose for the 3V and in fact it rattled more. The other way around the CFV sheathed very tightly and I now have a slight drag mark on the logo side, but it is ever so slight which doesn't bother me.
Interesting. So it is definitely formed differently. Thank you.
That's interesting... the sheaths are "factory-built", I wouldn't have expected them to mold one model with the CFV and one with the 3V, though I would expect that the knife is left un-sharpened either way as it is a sheath-template.
A quick suggestion: try mounting the firesteel loop on the spine-side of the 3V sheath at the same height you have it now, and tighten down hard to see if the bolt can squeeze the kydex tighter against the spine & tip of the knife. When a knife rattles, it's usually because the far end needs a little more securing... *shrug*
But now that there is a scratch in the cerakote, time to make a mess of that pretty face
j/k not every knife needs to be beaten
Eagerly awaiting my 3v 4.7... and having trouble not buying more knives during the wait!
