Capt Chris,

According to the RMK website: Please Note: On 4 1/2" and 5" sheaths, the keeper strap snaps around the handle because there isn't enough room above the hone pocket for a diagonal strap... Is this true for all Model A 5" sheaths, because I saw a Model 25-5 on Evil-Bay last week that had a Model A sheath w/ the diagonal keeper strap... The seller added photos showing the back of the sheath indicating that it was indeed for a 25-5, and it was not stamped "R" indicating a replacement... I'm kinda regretting not getting this one because it seems that it sold for not too far over what it would have cost from the shop w/ the stainless blade, sheath, and wrist thong.
