Review: It's a good sheath for a large Ka-Bar knife - First, realize that there are TWO of these sheaths produced and sold by Ka-Bar for Ka-Bar knives. If you have the full-sized 7" blade Ka-Bar, you want the "Full-Sized" sheath. It's Ka-Bar item number 1216. Initially, I was sent the smaller of the two which didn't fit my knife. Returned it and desertcart straightened the problem out, sending me the correct sheath. Now for the sheath. I like it. I have no idea how sturdy or durable it'll be yet. Hence, the "4's" I gave in those categories. I think it'll be sturdy & durable with normal use. Hard use? No idea. However, it certainly does give one a good alternative to a leather sheath. It's definitely sturdier than a leather sheath. It is constructed to lock the knife in the sheath, which is a good feature. It is also made with multiple attachment points, so it can be hung from a belt or attached to a backpack or most anything else. I really like those features. Interestingly, I did not buy this knife for a Ka-Bar knife, but for a Sheffield knife, built as a clone of the Ka-Bar. It fit perfectly. The Sheffield has a flimsy sheath, so this sheath just made that knife much more usable. I also have a 7" Ka-Bar knife and this sheath fits that knife perfectly as well. I bought a second sheath for that knife. Bottom line? A very good addition to a large Ka-Bar or similar knife.
Review: Nice hard sheath - I use this with my K-Bar when hunting. I still have the leather but like the solid sheath for some applications. This is durable and not junk. Glad I bought it.
