Yes, it is a high quality sheath that really locks the knife in well. This is a GREAT knife at a reasonable price. I have bought more since and each one has been perfect. Please let me know if you need anything else. Rjensen813@aol.com. Good lick and enjoy!!

The same kind of plastic glocks are made of. Its a very good sheath that locks the knife in and lets water out

Exactly right. It has a strong clip that is molded into the sheath that holds the knife in place. It holds very securely. I watched a couple of You-Tube videos to figure out how to remove the knife from the sheath because it isn't obvious how to do it with one hand. Once you know how, it's very quick and easy. I would suggest you do the same. Reviews I've read and videos all indicate this is a durable, long lasting knife and sheath.

Yes its a kydex type that is actually Glock polymer and has a belt slot that can be twisted to lock shut and with a small lanyard hole at the bottom. The knife locks securely into the sheath and can be released with your thumb with minimal practice. I use this knife for MTB for this very reason. Its light but secure enough to lash to the front strap on my Camelbak.

The sheath is your standard form fitted kydex. It does fit the knife securely and the knife does come out, relatively smoothly. I picked up a canvas over kydex aftermarket sheath made by Blackhawk, I believe, that in my opinion is a little better. For the money though, this a great buy.

The knife stays firmly in it's sheath because of the thermoformed kydex, I have used mine extensively and has yet to show any sliping or wear aroun the meeting point of the two.

Yes. It is not a great quality sheath but will keep the blade good in storage or for light use. I plan to make a Kydex sheath for the wife ad one for myself.

Yes, it comes with a sturdy kydex sheath but there is no belt clip so it is really only usable as a neck knife.

Hi Mountainlover, I have a genuine Ka-Bar, Kydex sheath that I use with mine. The knife and sheath fit perfectly as this knife is made to the same specs as a Ka-Bar. I do not own a genuine leather Ka-Bar sheath, however, it should work just fine in my opinion. Enjoy your knife!

Yes, it comes with secure ex sheath. It's Hard plastic that locks the knife in place. Multiple ways to mount and belt loop.

The sheath that comes with this knife is good quality for the money. The knife world is so focused on Kydex sheaths for blades and this is not happening at this price point.

Kydex sheath. Thus, the K in the model number; S37-K. The model sporting a nylon sheath is S37-N. I prefer the Kydex sheath, but the Nylon sheath is not bad. It has a hard lining, and a pouch on the outside. Pick your poison.

For the model 1271 or another model. If for the 1271 there is no KA-BAR Kydex sheath available, it comes with its own specially designed sheath only. To create a Kydex sheath for it you would need to contact a custom Kydex maker such as the ones listed on the resource links page of our site.

Mine came with a Kydex sheath and cord. No tin box. It was sealed in plastic.

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.
