Picked up an OKC3S last year at a gun show in good condition for cheap. The sheath was intact but I noticed the blade rattles a lot when sheathed even with the tie down strap snapped in. Is there a piece that goes in the mouth of the sheath to quiet that or a diy fix i can use?
Will post pictures later today or tomorrow.

I have a couple OKCs that exhibit the same thing. One thing you might try is to pull the plastic liner out if you can, and put it in boiling water for a minute and take it out and flatten it slightly.

It didn’t look like there was a liner in it. That may be the issue.

I have a couple of OKC Chimera knives that have the same sheath.  They came with a metal clip in the throat of the sheath that scrapes the blade everytime it's removed and reinserted in the sheath.  Once removed, the blades rattle around.

It's not designed to be quiet. Quiet wasn't issued.
