I rubbed mink oil on and the water rolls right off but baseball glove oil will work

Obernauf's leather oil. Contains beeswax and propolis . great for all leather

no knife should be stored in a leather sheath long term, the tanning acid will cause rust or discoloring of the blade. if you need to keep a knife ready to go, get a nylon or kydex type sheath. any good gun oil will work on a knife blade

Fits broadswords just fine, if your blade is thin (like katana thin) then I would recommend you get a sheathe for the best fit.

I used a Tec-lok with some rubber spacers to adapt the fit. It's a little big for such a small knife, but it works. The holes line up fine. These are available from knife supply companies, about $13 to $14 bucks.I tried it once but needed the Tec-Lok for it's original knife so went back to neck carry.

the sheath works fine for holding the machete, but its a little difficult to carry, i like the sheaths that hang from your belt. that is my personal preference

My sheath is the nylon material like used in a rigger belt or parachute harness. Has a pouch on the front that can used for a multi- tool or small survival items. Very durable but a little to massive if you were planning on trying to carry it concealed or semi- concealed. Knifw is excellant... and I own a lot of knives.

Should just buy an aftermarket sheath on ebay. They're really nice and usually 20$, this one comes with black.

My knife came with a kryton hard plastic type sheath, similar to kydex. There could be some minimal flopping I guess, I haven't had any issue with it, but you could also lash it to your leg or back pack with paracord to keep that from occurring.

The sheath is made of a rawhide like material, im assuming goat. I keep mine wiped down with a little mink oil. Same stuff you use for boots. Seems to keep it pretty waterproof. Have not needed to use any other maintenance on it.

Sorry for delay in responding. The handle flares quite a bit at the end? Are you thinking even more? Also, the product no longer comes with a sheath - we had made a very fancy, but ultimately not very durable, sheath out of clear plastic. Instead offer a separate leather sheath with a lifetime guarantee. In the future, may offer a permanent blade guard free with each tool, but still a work in progress.

Mine came with a small sheath that just covers the blade but it works quite well and is light like the axe. If you want another one it would fit into a regular sized hatchet sheath (you can find leather ones around for pretty reasonable).

I dont have a picture handy, however, I purchased these previously for other gear and had two left to use for the sheath: Maxpedition 5-Inch TacTile - Pack Of 4 (Foliage Green) . I tacked mine around kidney level on the back of a tac vest, facing horizontally, with the pommel set right around the center/rear of my lower rib cage. Pulling from the sheath is an easy click removal of the "safety clip" you will note in the pictures. Hanging it, like you're asking should retain without any issue as well, again, because of the "safety" on the sheath, and should allow the knife to slide right into your hand. (PS- Have a stone handy! It comes with a hone, but not a great one.)

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

Mine came with a tan and brown nylon sheath. It has a front pocket for a stone or fire starter and straps for attaching to gear. It has double snaps over the handle for a very secure fit. Very nice and very versatile.

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.

Just pull. It is a "friction" type sheath - perhaps yours is just tight, or maybe there's a bit of glue or something there. Be careful - it's sharp.
