I have used one for several years and it has never come out of the
sheath on its own.  I suspect that those who have a problem are
the ones that are constantly taking the knife in and out of the 
sheath (to cut bagels, spread peanut butter, whatever) and are
wearing down the knobby things that hold the handle into the
sheath. 

I assume that my rescue knife is strictly a rescue knife and
leave it in the sheath at all times.  I have a SAK for the 
bagels etc.
