The sheaths that come with it give it a blurry image, no matter which way they have been placed. Are there better Sheaths ?

There is a sheath that is made for the dexis camera I think that has a clear spot for the lens. Honestly I don't use the sheath I just wipe down since it doesn't necessarily get wet.

Not really they the swords are great also very usable and sharp but the sheath is crappy they tend to poke thru the end of it and if ur not careful they will poke u thru the sheath I would suggest getting a hard leather or wooden sheath.

Hi Shaun,Most of your higher end knives don't come with individual sheaths, so would require a knife block or place where they will not be subjected to hitting other metal objects. These blades are tremendously thin and don't have the girth of a European knife "like Henckels" but they are a joy to use because of their balance, lightness and of course sharpness.

The knife came reasonably sharp but I always work mine once I get a new knife. I only had to take this to my strop to make it scary sharp. I have an old leather belt that I rub a polishing compound stick across and then I strop my knives on that to finish them. Some knives I get I have to put them on a stone as they are poor edge. Not this one. The sheath seems to hold this blade in place very well. I have had to work the back of the blade with a file in order to get it to work with a fire steel. These are stamped knives but they are a quality knife. i bought 2. 1 for me and 1 for my wife. I will buy these knives again if i need to replace my carbon steel knife.

The sheath isn't bad. Velcro at the top, and lightly snaps in. Comes with a mirror, sharpener, and whistle in the sheath. I very rarely get to carry it, but I'm happy with it when I do.

Throw it away and have a Kydex one made. The sheath is junk and borderline dangerousI had a custom Kydex/Leather Hybrid sheath made and its awesomeness now!

No the sheath that came with the sword is cheap and usless. I suggest either reinforce the sheath with better threads or make a sheath of your own

Hi Jane, I returned it, the metal was to thin/flimsy.I did get a Sharper Image model, love it, cost more but it was worth it. -Joe

It is a problem. But it is easily solved. I shaved just a tiny fraction of the bulky sheath. It was easy to do and didn't damage anything. It fits fine after that. I do consider that one drawback to this device.

The tip of mine bent from putting it back in the sheath too forcefully I guess, it was super irritating but I eventually filed it down almost as good as it was when I first got it.

I've been carrying the same Blur almost daily for the last 5 years or so, two of which were spent on active duty in the Marine Corps and included a deployment to Afghanistan. I've beaten the heck of mine without a single issue, though it does look worse-for-wear at this point. Very solid and highly recommended as a general-purpose utility knife.

The knife came with a cyote tan nylon sheath. It isn't a bad sheath but a little bulky and only application is a vertical draw. It does have an interior liner that protects the sheath from cutting through the edge side. This sheath is adequate for belt wear or attaching to your gear but an upgrade will probably be desired.

It is implied. These are never sold new without a sheath and they only come with one kind of sheath. Shame of it is, it's not a very good one. The knife however is great.

It isn't blurry at all. Be sure to select the correct shading. I'm sorry I didn't get the darkest shade, it's good but could be better.

I don't of any after market sheath but I like the one that comes with it. Unless Ontario has also dove head first into the shameful and pathetic abyss known as "maximizing profit" and started making the sheath cheaper, that's THE one, I leave the lower snap undone and the top one is the only one I use.

The knife does come with a cardboard sheath - really would not want to make any bets as to how long it will last...I bought 4 of these, 3 as gifts. Due to one chef-reviewer talking about using finger protection because the knife was so sharp, I did go ahead and order 4 Messermeister 8" Chef's Edge-Guard plastic sheaths for them, just to be safe. The knife seems pretty darned sharp to me; however, understand that I haven't had a decent knife in the house for years! I would recommend that you get a sturdier sheath, to protect both the knife AND any handlers/transporters.

Apparently it is a difference in quality, if it doesn't measure up for some reason it goes into the lower category so I read online in a forum (but I haven't noticed any difference), but it is possibly the sheath included in the pack?
