I like my omer a lot, possibly my favourite knife so far. Its very similar to the Riffe knife but the release is a lot more sturdy (have both) You pinch the grey sides in (as can been seen above the small pointy bits on the very bottom of the grey portion (see above) click through the holes on the sheath (can just be seen above) My knife is the larger version of this with a steel top section to the handle as well which is a nice addition. I have the sheath threaded on to my belt at present the hole for this is a nice tight fit also. But for safetys sake I also have a lanyard from the eye in the knife to a 'D' ring on my belt. So far no problems which is more than I can say for my previous knives.. all have either fallen out or the straps come apart etc resulting in a lost knife. Only exception being another omer knife I have with a similar securing system to the Samurai. Mind you the rest of the knife is horrid! lol. Only issue I did have was when gutting some mullet near the shore, left knife hanging by its lanyard, and when splashed by a wave it sliced straight through it! Luckily I noticed and have a better one now plus dont leave the knife dangling anymore.. its either in my hand or in the sheath. Mind you shows the knife will hold a good edge! As for how well the mechanism will hold up with prolonged use I cant tell you yet. But signs so far are good.
