The sheath is secure, but carried on a belt without the leg strap attached, it takes both hands to remove it. Am I doing something wrong?

I think so. Ive never had an issue with that but I know kydex is very finicky when it comes to removing a blade at the proper angle.

'Ello Joe: I have 2 ColdSteel knive SRK and Kobun. Both share the same concelex style sheaths. When you un snap the SRK you should have your thmb on the back/spine of the blade NOT THE EDGE!

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.

This knife is designed to strap on your leg. Its a sharp knife but I think you need to look else where for a Uniform knife that has a belt sheath.

Sheath is thin leather or hide.. Belt goes right through it so it both follows the belt and drops down slightly

It is fastened securely, so I agree with the other comments. A knife would have to cut through it and because it is such a thick, wide strap, that couldn't be done easily without you having forewarning and being aware of a threat. I also felt safer with it resting on the front side of my hips rather than the back side of my hips (like in the picture).

I'd suggest not worrying about the holster. Get a holster you like and add it to the belt.

Yes. I have mine mounted (inverted) on my pack using the strap on the back of the sheath without the leg strap. It holds very well. The sheath has a pressure 'clip' that you feel when you push the knife all the way into the sheath.

There is a rivet at the bottom of the sheath that would have to be removed in order to remove the plastic part. You might be better off just buying a leather sheath because if you remove the plastic, the only thing protecting you from the blade is a thin layer of cloth.

I've never had an issue with this knife and the sheath while wearing light clothes; however the clothes should be semi-tight on you or supported (i.e. tie the string on your shorts). There have been some answers suggesting a light belt but I have found the string on my running shorts is good enough if you have a strong pull. You won't give yourself a "wedgie" though the shorts do rise a little bit before the sheath gives. This is a really good overall knife in my humble opinion and I enjoy carrying it regardless of what I am wearing or where I am going since it is very versatile. The knife was my first purchase from Cold Steel but it will be far from my last purchase.

Yes it does lock into place. However, after a few uses it becomes loose in the sheath. I haven't had any issues with it falling out while wearing it around my neck but it is noticably loose. Also, the sheath has a tendency to dull the edge after extracting and replacing a few times. I've heard this is because of the glass reinforcement in the sheath. It's not a deal breaker by any means. The sheath works for what it is intended.

Yup.. It clips into sheath fairly well and also has 2 snap straps to help it stay in super secure for deep woods types of hiking.. Haven't had a problem with it comeing out ever.. Hope that helps

I find that it sometimes has the opposite problem. Sometimes it can be difficult to remove one handed. I've never had it slip out unintentionally.

The sheath is made up of two sections. First is a nylon lower that is "kydex-like" and securely holds the blade very well, has holes and slots along the perimeter for versatility when securing, etc. The second is the upper that is made of webbing that has a loop that you can run a belt through, and a loop with metal snap to secure the handle. The sections are connected together with two screw attachments that allow you to either remove the top webbing all together with no trace...or allows you to relocate the webbing up and down the length of the hard nylon lower.

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

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.

I normally wear it in the belt case, but if I am in the middle of doing something using it, I may put it i my pocket, and then I don't notice it until I go to get it out of the sheath and it's not there. I certainly don't find it an issue. As an equivalent alternative, albeit one that doesn't open with one hand, the Buck 110 hunter, is similarly solid, but flatter.

It does come with a sheath and two leg straps. If you have a MOLLE vest you can easily attach it to that as well.
