PCM: It's nice, seems well built, I expect it will be durable, certainly nicer than the leather sheath but not a $25.00 item.

Juan: Lo único que me parece malo sobre la funda es que me cuesta un poco desenvainar el cuchillo con la hoja hacia abajo, pero puede ser mi culpa y no de la funda. Indispensable para aquellos que quieran una funda más resistente, duradera y segura que las de piel.

Brent Patterson: Genuine Ka-Bar Sheath. Upon initial inspection it is well made and very durable. I am still waiting for my knife to be delivered and will complete this review at that time I can test the fit and ease of access.

UPDATE: - Ok so I had to wait for my new Ka-Bar knife to show up as well. This sheath is awesome! Durable and rugged. It holds the knife firmly in place no wiggle no jiggle no rattle, but easily releases. Two point locking system holds the knife firmly in place. Definitely glad I splurged and got this is as well. Can't wait for my next adventure.

Andreas KorfmannAndreas Korfmann: I have an Ontario Knife Company 948 Knife and it is basically the same design of the Kabar that this sheath is designed for, but it too suffers the same problem whereas it comes with a terrible (albeit leather) sheath from the factory. I took a gamble buying this as I couldn't find any reviewers that tried something similar but I was pleased to see that it fit perfectly! I attached some pictures (even the handle guard fit the exact way into the sheath and clips in perfectly!).

I was so thrilled that I ended up buying a second one of these to use on a different knife I own. I re-purposed an old Scuba Diving knife for camping (the Cresci Orca), but the problem was that it came with a rubber sheath meant for undersea diving and strapping the your leg over a wet-suit. The knife itself actually is wonderful for other outdoor purposes, but I needed another sheath that was meant to bring backpacking. I did have to make a few slight modifications though, since the Orca is about the same length as the Kabar I thought it would fit perfecly, but the Orca is a little bit thicker (not wider, but the thickness is a bit more). It fit into the sheath but it was a tight fit, so I took a...

Bree: If you want your Ka-Bar blade to be secure, this sheath is ideal. However, the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the blade is fairly difficult to remove. I've had a similar sheath on a different blade where you use one hand to slightly push down on the sheath (with the front of your fingers) and pull the blade out to remove it easily - I wished this one was the same, but it was definitely more difficult to remove the blade. Overall a great product.

Andrei: I own the 7" marine edition ka-bar with the serrations, and this sheath fits it well.

The various sheath cut-outs and buckles allow you to mount it in almost any configuration. I currently have it attached to my hunting rig on my left shoulder, and I love it. The leather sheath it came with did not allow me to mount it in the same fashion.

In order to remove the blade you have to use your thumb to push a plastic indent out of the way such that the cross-guard can come free. If you're like me, you may find that this is easy to do with your dominant hand, but difficult / impossible with your other. I may simply need to train, or break it in a bit before it comes a little easier.
