## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the belt clip allow the knife to sit horizontally as well as vertically? Did not understand answer of 7/4/20**
A: No.  It is impossible to move the belt clip because the backings for the screw sets are not an Alan-head.  Therefore when you turn the screw head the backing just spins and there’s no way to keep it still while turning the screw.

**Q: where is it made?**
A: I believe it’s made in Taiwan. Great edc knife and very low profile! Good retention and razor sharp out of box.  Won’t be disappointed

**Q: Can you buy just the holster?**
A: I’m assuming so if you contact Kabar CS but there are infinite custom kydex sheaths on the market for this knife.

**Q: Does this come in serrated as well?**
A: Not the investigator to my knowledge, other TDI Models though, yes.
