Casstrom No.3 Dangler

Casström's No.3 Dangler is an accessory that allows your knife to hang further down from your belt and swing freely, allowing you to move easily and flexibly. It is easy to take it on and off your belt. The specially designed D-ring can also be used for other tasks.

Benefits for knife makers

The Belteloopen makes it easy to attach kydex or leather sheaths to your belt. Simply create a loop in the sheath that you can thread the D-ring into, and voila, you have a solid and versatile attachment system for your sheaths.

Background

The story behind the Casstrom Dangler, told by Casstrom: Many of our customers have requested an extended belt strap, a "dangler", so that the knife can be easily reached even when wearing a jacket or a large backpack with a hip belt. With a Dangler it is also easy to sit down without the knife getting in the way. When the case or sheath is hanging, it can be bent at the height of the hip joint, which allows the knife to smoothly follow the movements of your legs if you anchor it - you can run, climb and bend almost without noticing the knife. We have also designed the D-ring as a carabiner, thus opening up many new functions and applications. You can easily take the knife off without having to open your belt, you can easily move the knife to your backpack for example, or just quickly take it off if you are approaching a populated area. The D-ring is made of solid 8mm thick aluminum and in tests the breaking strength has exceeded 400kg, which means you can use it for many different purposes, such as hanging equipment, pulling an animal or anchoring a dog leash to your waist. It can also be used to hang a tarp or hammocks. Please note that the D-ring should not be used for climbing as a bad fall can create forces exceeding 400kg, even if the person is not heavy.
