The Easy Draw Holster

precaution is to insure your knowledgeable and safe use of the Easy Draw Holster.

Note: Extra caution must be taken if there is a doubt as to the qualification and/or experience of any younger person(s) using this product. If there is, restrict access and use of this product.

Note: Leather is a forgiving material. The more it is actively worked, the more it will relax and the more accommodating it will become. Your Holster should not be oiled or conditioned through the break-in process. Afterward, only the exterior Holster surface should ever be oiled.

Pocket Setting:

Step 1) Insert the knife into the Holster opening with the blade side up and closed. You will need to use ample force

for the knife to initially reach the front of the Holster.

Step 2) Draw your knife 3/4 out of the Holster and with steady and firm pressure, repeat this process until a form fir

pocket is established. This will take approximately 20 minutes.

Note: When concluded, you will be able to firmly but comfortably draw and return your knife body into and out of the knife pocket.

Base Fitting:

Step 1) Begin by stretching the Holster base sides open with an out and upward rolling motion. This must be repeatedly

done to supple and relax the leather.

Step 2) Concentrate on opening the blade return path and exposing the bushing area at the rear of the Holster. You

do this by running your fingers through and over these areas.

Note: These are the areas that your knife blade will pass through and pivot on when in use.

Important Note:

1)   While inserting or drawing your knife from the Easy Draw Holster, you must never cover the base area of the Holster with any part of your hand.

2)   You must never place any part of your hand in front of the knife blade as it is being returned to the ready position.

3)   These precautions must be enforced at all times when using the Easy Draw Holster.

4)   If at any time you feel you need to rework the break-in procedure, do so until proper break-in work is completed.

Loading Procedure:

Step 1)   After the breaking-in procedures are complete, break your knife into a 90 degree angle. The body of your knife

is held above and parallel to the top of the Holster.

Step 2)   Insert your knife blade down through the opening of the Holster until it extends through the Holster base.

Note:   Your knife body should be resting on the rear of the Holster and still in a parallel position to the top of the Holster. Your knife blade should still be at a 90 degree angle.

Step 3)   To finish loading your knife, apply forward pressure until your knife is completely inserted into the Holster.

Note: At no time and for no reason should your hand or fingers ever be in contact or in the motion path of your knife blade.

Loading Caution:

You will notice that as you insert your knife body into the Holster that the knife blade will make contact with the 3rd rivet and as the insertion continues, the knife blade will automatically begin folding into the Holster base. When you reach a certain point of the insertion, the natural snap action of the knife blade will cause it to come into contact with the bushings in the rear of the Holster. You then must ensure that the front bolster is as far forward as possible and that the blade is in full contact with the bushing.

Hand Draw Procedure:

Step 1) With one hand, hold the Holster in the palm of your hand with the base up and the front of the Holster facing

away from your body.

Step 2) Slowly draw the knife body completely out of the Holster. While doing this, maintain constant contact between

the knife blade and the rear bushing. This action will allow the blade to come to a complete locked open position.

Break-In Test:

Step 1) When you complete the loading procedure, the blade should automatically return to the ready position with the

blade in full contact with the bushing. This must require no added assistance on your part.

Step 2) As you draw and return your knife to the Holster, it should have a firm but comfortable feel.

Note: If these actions are accomplished, you are now ready to use your Easy Draw Holster and learn the upcoming draw techniques.
