Hi, curious I have noticed that on most hard scabbards I have seen there is a notch under the metal throat on each side. Does anybody know the purpose, I can't see one thanks Mike

There are metal tabs that hold the metal throat onto the plastic. The slots are cut for that purpose. Check out the MK2 scabbard you will see the tab. SKIP

Brian- No they don't. But the original M3, M7, USN MK1 & MK2 scabbards do have the tabs in original configuration. Gary Cunningham explained that the tabs broke off when placed on cut-down scabbards, so the procedure was changed for the cut-downs. SKIP
