Does the blade stay in place in the sheath or does it slide out?

The knife absolutely stays in the sheath. I have mine fixed upside down in a bag and it has never fallen out.

Yes It stays In place. I have had mine for about a year and the blade still locks in as tightly as when I got it.

The one I received fits snugly in the sheath. I can't say if it will loosen up over time but so far its a good solid fit.

The knife stays firmly in it's sheath because of the thermoformed kydex, I have used mine extensively and has yet to show any sliping or wear aroun the meeting point of the two.

What details? It's a work knife, not a vase. As far as getting loose, no it won't. It's made of a single piece. It's a great knife.

Mine has a very snug fit. Like a drop safe gun holster, it takes pressure to pull the knife out of the sheath.

Yeah, it comes with a nice sheath that the knife pops into. You can lash the thing to your pack or wear it around your neck. The knife doesn't fall out of it.

The blade of this knife does NOT lock, however when held naturally the steel protrusion you see in the picture of the folded knife is held down securely by your thumb.

I don't have the AUS 8 version, so I can't answer that part of the question. If you mean can the knife get loose from the Secure X sheath, the answer is no. It takes quite a pull to draw the knife from the sheath.

There is always "a chance" that the neck knife could come out of the sheath. Any neck knife". Mostly it would be due to snagging it on something, like a shirt sleeve or jacket when it is being removed or put on, or a branch or rock , etc. that you rub against. That being said, my sheath seems relatively secure and, if I keep it down my T-shirt, it is less likely to snag on something. Hope this was helpful. R Burd Sr

Yes. It has a hard plastic insert inside the sheath to protect it from the blade.

Yes it does. I know that some people don't like it, however, I have my knife attached to the side of my backpack and it has never slid or fallen out of the sheath when putting the backpack on or taking it off. I've never needed my knife out for such quick use that the second snap was an issue and knowing I'm not going to loose it while out in the woods is a comfort!

Yes, the blade does lock in place, and the spring assist works great. Overall, it's a great knife.

The knife slides out of the sheath smooth as butter. I see Kyle had an issue with the spring coming out of the detent but I just looked at mine and I don't think my spring could come out unless I put some serious effort into it. Slides in and out of the sheath very smooth, no need to ever press the button, not to lock it in or take it out (but you can if you'd like)

Yes, when the blade is opened it is locked in place by a spring loaded tab that rests against the base of the blade. It is released by a side movement with the thumb, not too unique as many brands have this feature.

At first fits securely in the sheath, but after lots of use (mine is dilapidated now) it loosens up quite a bit. This is a great blade for utilities though, so I do recommend it for anyone who needs a knife regularly. Another option is the CRKT Folts Minimalist series.

Yes, it comes with a hard plastic sheath with slots on the side so that it can be carried in a variety of positions, this makes it popular with US military. When the knife is pushed into the sheath, it snaps into place and holds the knife securely and is completely quiet while in the sheath. An additional nylon band with a snap goes around the knife handle, for extra security. It is a high quality sheath and an excellent design.

Knife is held in place VERY well with no chance of sliding out unless you pull on it, whether used with the loop or inverted around your neck.

Yes. I just tried it. The knife will go into the sheath with the blade facing either direction..

I carry mine in the sheath it came in. To me, it is uncomfortable in my pocket. The quality of this knife is next to none. I am very happy I bought it.
