Buck, thanks for the photos. Shows how much I know - I thought the large flap was for quick thumb release. Knowing how it works makes it even more clever. I wonder if the pointy flap had a tendency to catch on brush and unsnap. Regardless, it's still neat.

Hello TAH,

Although the tab is quite large, it cannon be un-snapped from side-to-side movement - it flexes. The angled sides of the flap, allows it to slide along brush.

Hmmm, I wonder if it's a one-way type snap?

Hello TAH,

No special snap. It just likes being pulled from the top. Good idea however, having a directional snap.

Those one-way snaps work pretty well. I had Greg Gutcher make me a custom quick-removable sheath for my Model 15. Here are some pictures.
