how durable is the sheath to this knife.

Mines getting loose already and I barely used it. Wish I didn't buy this knife. Just got the gerber strongarm and that knife is very sharp and nice.

The sheath is almost my favorite part. It's got 6 holes to run cord through to make your own strap and it's strong plastic with a rubber insert on the part where the blade goes in.

Fairly so after a wile it gets loose but never to the point where the knife is just falling out

It's made out of a durable plastic. I love this knife. The sheath allows u to carry horizontally on your was which is nice when u bend over

I have used it off and on for a few months and have not yet damaged it in any way. It appears to be made from fairly durable plastic. It is not bad as a very basic knife.

It's very well retained, but it will come down to how much abuse it takes. The sheath isn't Kydex, it's molded plastic, so it will fatigue eventually. If you carry it around your neck, you'll get many years out of it. Upside down on your belt, probably not so much because it's gonna get smacked around a lot.

It is more durable than it looks but it is still not a heavy use or thick backed knife. It is more inline with a medium weight.

I carry this knife every day, and haven't had an issue whatsoever. The spring assist is very strong, and it does just as well now as it did new.

The sheath is a plastic self locking sheath. Not very good, I bought a new sheath for it. It is a great knife.

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.

I've only worn it as a horizontal carry belt knife, just as a disclaimer. I have had the knife for nearly a year now, and it's slipped out of its sheath once (a couple days ago, doing yard work). I had been applying pressure to my waist, so I don't think that really counts, but it can slip out if the right (very rare, and highly unlikely) circumstances arise.

I wear mine as a neck knife and have never had a problem with it. The kydex or whatever it is formed into the first choil, so it won't wear away from use. When you pull it from the sheath, the two halves flex at the indentations on the first choil. So there is no material being worn away like on some sheaths.

Many people consider the sheath to be worth the cost of the blade by itself. They are well known for the quality of their sheaths.

Yes, I have carried mine at work everyday for a few years and still going strong. I have however had it pull out from getting caught on something, but I do not fault the sheath for this.

I bought mine 1/21/14. I would not trust this sheath. That is the biggest flaw of this knife, the sheath is very loose. In addition, this is not a carbon steel knife, & I could not get it sharp even after 1 hour of sharpening. This knife, is just for looks.

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.

yea the sheath is awesome of course will will have to keep the blade oiled, i noticed some minor stains on the blade but with regular oiling of the blade that will dissapear and the stain on the blade was easy to wipe off

Its a great EDC knife, for me I have to remind my self handle is a little slippery, but I have not had no problems.

The knife springs out some, but you can open it the rest of the way with the flick of the wrist. It is very durable as well. I use it every day and it has held up well.

Yes - A good one. It is made of black nylon. The sheath has two straps to hold the knife securely in the the sheath. I think you will be really happy with the knife and sheath.

Yes, I carried this knife in the stock sheath on my chest rig for about 7 months of hard use, never a problem. As long as the sheath is mounted to something it is secure, if it is thrown in a bag with heavy objects the sheath could possibly bend, releasing the knife.
