Does the sheath hold the knife in firmly &amp; does come out smoothly when you need it?

Yes the sheath does a good job holding it firm. It is a little hard to pull out at first but use a little oil with it and works fine.

Yes it does. The sheath is every bit as good as the knife. Sharper is good quality as well.

This sheath holds very well in inverted carry. I've hiked with this knife in inverted for several miles and had my strap rubbing against the knife/sheath and never came undone. It has a positive click so you know its locked in well. Also does not make it too difficult to remove in an urgent need. Dunno bout a knife combat scenario but how often do you come across that?

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.

It is a hard plastic sheath. I wear mine all the time and there isn't any movement the knife fits very snug. I don't think you will regret getting this knife it is one of my favorite knives to carry.

The sheath fits belts easily and the knife can be drawn and placed back easily. The snap loop to secure the knife on my knife is loose enough that I can snap it together easily with one hand. The leather handle is not smooth but more ragged, I smoothed mine out.

1. The knife is very stable when open. There is no wiggling and it locks open safely.2. I don't know if that would remedy it but my blades only stuck out a mm if even that. Probably best to use the belt clip and keep it on your side and not inside your pocket.3. I have needed both hands to close it but it makes the knife very stable when open.Conclusion. I love the knife for it compact size and stability. It's one downfall is that because of its compact size the blade can poke out a bit.

As new, the sheath has proved to have excellent retention. It is, however, commonly known among aficionados that the retention will loosen over time with repeated use (possibly due to the sheath being softer than the handle and wearing more in comparison to sliding/flexing?) but can be fixed with simple fixes easily found on Youtube.

Fairly so after a wile it gets loose but never to the point where the knife is just falling out

I've only worn it as a horizontal carry belt knife, just as a disclaimer. I have had the knife for nearly a year now, and it's slipped out of its sheath once (a couple days ago, doing yard work). I had been applying pressure to my waist, so I don't think that really counts, but it can slip out if the right (very rare, and highly unlikely) circumstances arise.

It fell out once, but only once. Not 100% secure but a lot better than some of the others on here. Theres also a velvet-y inside to where the knife is secured, so it sticks.

The handle is smooth. The curves of the handle fit nicely in the hand which is what gives the grip. As you probably know this isn't the kind of knife one would use for digging/stabbing motions. Your hand would certainly slip under those conditions. It's a great knife if used for the intended purposes. My wife bought this for me and I liked it enough that I recently bought one for her.

No. I had to take some cardboard and electrical tape to mine to make it feel secure enough to carry around. The problem is the open bottoms, a major design flaw of the sheath.

I have no problem with it slipping. Best knife I have ever owned. (I currently have 14 knives)

No, However i could see it being an excellent knife for that application. The knife itself has very good retention inside the sheath.

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. It is slightly tight, but not overly so. In fact, I keep a regular size band-aid in the pouch along with the knife. I have carried this same knife for many years. I have had numerous pouches. This one is great because it can be clipped on/off a belt without removing the belt yet stays clipped on very securely. This is my "day to day" pouch for this knife.
