What is the back of the sheath like? I want to buy some straps for my friend, but not sure what to get.

Hello, The back of the sheath does not have straps it is just hard plastic. Thank You

That's how I carry it & it rides fine. There are a couple of after market sheaths that sit better & have better retention. The one I have costs more than the knife but I think it's worth it. Let me know if you are interested.

Sorry for delay in replying. The webbing straps seem to be grey/black or rather more brown/ black. Looks good thought as the center is black. Wonderful piece of equipment. Enjoy.

I ordered two of these and both came with a sheath. If you bought from amazon, you should contact them and file a complaint. If you bought from someone in the amazon marketplace, contact them and find out where your sheath is.

I just purchased mine and it came with a very nice leather sheath. Wet molded and formed to fit the knife very well.

the straps are already attached to each end - top right and bottom right are connected, top left and bottom left are connected.when you have the twin sheath on your back, it will hang low or even sag, because it has too much slack.while the sheaths are mounted on the back, simply grab the right strap, and move it over the head to the other side.do this with the other side - this will take up some of the slack.if that is not enough, get a close pin and pinch some of the slack and then use the close pin to keep it there from getting too loose. hope this helps.

Im not sure on the exact measurements but it looks almost exactly the same at the real Maximus sword. I am sure there are better quality Maximus swords out there but for the price you pay this is pretty nice. If you want it to look more authentic then I would rough up the sheath and strap, or maybe just re-wrap the sheath with real leather and glue it to the existing sheath. If you need the exact measurements then I can try getting that for you before May.

It has a basic sheath that works. It has a loop on it. You can make it into a hip or back. Depends on what kind of strap you put it on.

it has 550 cord holes and fo-550 cord neck less, this is the best way to strap it on. Having said that do not carry it with the hilt down like it is designed. The knife will fall out quickly and you will either lose it or have it stab you depending on where you place it. The sheath is ok for casual civilian where but even then I've lost two of them, put it any environment like hunting or even worse deployment and it will be gone in a few moments.

Mine fits great. Its usually laced up in the molle straps on my camping pack. I just took it out for two weeks of desert camping and the knife and sheath both did their jobs better than other knives I've used in the past.

Sorry, I didn't get a sheath. I just carry it in my pocket. Great knife though.

The carrying sheath is cheap and unreliable. Use something else and could but you would have to fashion it yourself. The hand guard is kinda large and has notches which may catch on other items you would be wearing.

There is a nylon strap on the back but you would have to feed something through it as it doesn't come off. Kind of hard to mount it, I would go for the hard sheath they sell here only about $25

Hi, Steve:Yes, it does come with a matching leather sheath.If you're wondering about the quality of the sheath, the quality is fine. It's tought and takes abuse.Also; if you plan to wear this on a belt, I suggest that you either buy, or make a tie down strap (The tip of the sheath has hole for a tie down strap) since the tip of the sheath tends to get caught on brush, and when you run, it flaps around and is rather annoying.

Nylon with a plastic sleeve insert. I know the sheath gets a bad rap online, but I really like it. The double strap with button closure is very secure and the molle straps on back are great for lashing to packs.

Nylon based sheath with a strap that goes across the tang and around the butt cap. Fairly decent for how cheap this knife is.

My plastic sheath has a nylon(black) strap on the back with a strap that secures the knife with a "pull the dot" fastener.
