A great sheath for the 21st Century.
I bought two of these. One for an old Ka-Bar and one for a similar aged Ontario. Both fit perfectly. What's really great about them is how secure the knives are and how many ways you can carry them and attach them to your gear. On top of that, I think they're a real bargain.

A great working sheath
A knife sheath has two main functions, to protect the knife and the user. When you add almost unlimited ways to carry the knife it's like icing on the cake. This sheath does it all and doesn't break the bank. I bought this for an old Ka-Bar that has a stapled leather sheath and it fits perfectly.

A new home for an old KA-BAR.
This sheath reminds me of the old M8A1 sheaths used for the M4 bayonet and M3 fighting knife, only better. There is no rattle, it's more secure and there's lots of attachment points to fasten to a pack or your gear. I also think that it protects the blade better than the leather. The sheath fits my old KA-BAR perfectly as well as an old Camillus an Ontario and a new KA-BAR. Only time and use will tell how durable it is, but I have a good feeling about this sheath. I'm thinking about getting another as a spare because it's a good price.
