Review: MUCH BETTER than I anticipated -- attractive, durable, and carefully assembled - REALLY glad I read the desertcart reviews on this product! Informative, detailed, and led me to a good choice for my needs. I bought two of these -- one to replace the sheath on a 1970s Bowie knife that I inherited from my father -- and one as a replacement for the sheath that came with a Ka-Bar knife (leather-washer handle, 7" blade) I bought a few years ago. Other reviewers wrote that the leather and workmanship of these sheaths were exceptional, especially considering the price -- I found this to be absolutely true. This is a good product, tightly stitched, cleanly cut, and made from thick, pliable, attractive leather. I also like (very much) the inclusion of a third layer of leather to protect the stitching from the sharpened edges of my knives. Placed directly on top of the original sheath for that Ka-bar, all dimensions are exactly the same -- right down to the location and length of the handle-strap and the material, size, and appearance of that snap. So the Ka-bar knife fits its new sheath PERFECTLY. The overall effect is clean, attractive, and "businesslike" (as opposed to "busy"). And, because the blade profile of my dad's old Bowie is similar to the Ka-bar, that blade fit the second sheath perfectly as well. GREAT purchase; THANKS, reviewers!
Review: Excellent sheath, will work on kabar, old hickory 7" butcher, and CutCo no.22 butcher. - Bought this for an old hickory butcher knife I've got on order, but in the meantime it's being used with an 8" CutCo knife. The little bit sticking out is *my* fault for using an 8" knife in a sheath intended for a 7" knife, but I've got to say... This thing is going to be absolutely perfect for my old hickory when it arrives. The two knife blades have the exact same profile, the CutCo is just an inch longer, so as you can see in my second image, the amount of blade sticking out is actually less than 1", meaning the old hickory is going to be a pretty perfect fit! The quality of the sheath is excellent for the money. Having run out of veg tan leather, the cost to make my own (not including the tools required) would be more than I paid for this sheath. Especially considering I purchased it last night (Saturday) and received it less than 12 hours later on a Sunday. Sure, I'd have leftover leather to make plenty of other stuff too, but I'd still have to spend more up front and wait. Could I do better myself? Sure. Could I do better myself for less money and in less time? No way. Not a chance. The curing time on adhering the layers together alone would take longer.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this sheath fit the Old Hickory 7" butcher knife?**
A: It is big, check the dementions of the 7" marine corps knife to see if it is similar

**Q: Will this fit the ka-bar 1276 short Bowie knife?**
A: I'm not familiar with the 1276. However, if it's anything like the 1277, I think that the Ka-Bar 7" leather sheath would not be a good fit for the 1276 . . . the blade configuration is too different.

**Q: Does this product have the USMC logo on it?  In the picture it's plain but the description says it has the USMC logo.**
A: No, the leather sheath does not have a logo anywhere on it.

**Q: Will this fit the Bk 5?**
A: I don't know for sure. Fits the 7 inch old hickory butcher knife and the k bar. May be too long for the bk5.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ happy
*by A***R on January 18, 2020*

I have a classic full-sized Kabar from, I think, the 1980's I got at the swap meet. The original leather sheath it came with came damaged and I replaced it years ago with a Kydex sheath that was bulky and never seemed appropriate, didn't do it justice. I wanted a quality leather sheath and this one from the original manufacturer in the classic style seemed like the best idea. I chose the plain one because it looks nice and clean. The sheath I received looks quite close in color to the one in the picture. I oiled it with Obenauf's LP but it did not soak up much of it. The snap was really tight at first but after oiling it and leaving it closed around the handle it loosened up just enough to easily close and is perfectly snug. My Kabar fit into the sheath perfectly, slightly tight at first but is now formed around it. I have had the sheath for only a couple days now. The craftsmanship and quality seems good, including the stitching and hardware. I'm going to continue oiling it to loosen it up so it is less stiff, but not a requirement for everyone just a personal preference. Highly recommended so far.
