What size Kydex sheath should one get with this?

The hard plastic one offers easy removal with one hand and snaps in place during non use. Works left or right handed. I like it a lot.

The blade is the 7" model. I believe if you order the model 1213 it comes with a Kydex and saves you a few bucks. It's a good deal.

It takes a model 1216 sheath but if you purchase a 1213 knife it comes with it, same knife only different sheath option.

I can't say for sure. I looked at it (the sheath for the kukri) and as long as you have the kydex one, it looks like it will most likely fit. But I'm not positive.

There are several custom kydex sheath makers online that will manufacture a sheath for this knife. The sheath may be close to the price of the knife itself though. There are several you tube videos on making your own kydex or pvc knife sheaths. Google both these for more info.

The one that came with the knife that I bought for my son was a Kydex sheath (hard plastic).

Grizzly Outdoors makes Kydex sheaths for a select number of knives, machetes, axes, and shovels. I ordered a foldover Kydex sheath, for my Ka-Bar Cutlass Machete, and it was exactly what I was looking for.

Fits broadswords just fine, if your blade is thin (like katana thin) then I would recommend you get a sheathe for the best fit.

It is a hard plastic sheath, known as kydex. Hope this helps, also before you buy, check out the Cold steel SRK. Better knife in my opinion. Good luck

It should come with a sheath. If you're not happy with that one, then one could be fairly easily stitched from leather with supplies from any craft store. Or, you could buy a sheet of kydex and form a sheath using instructions from the internet. Finally, there are lots of folks online who can make really professional kydex sheaths for just about anything. You COULD even make a sheath by heating up some PVC pipe in your oven or with a heat gun. I've never had any problems with the stock sheath, but Google and Youtube are your friends.

The mk-1 knifes blade length is 5 1/8'' and the sheathe says 5 1/4'' "most" Ka-bars. I haven't tried to fit that either. Try researching it online somewhere like Ka-bar's website. I wouldn't bet on it though because even if you have the length what about the height and width of the blade/tang/handle. Sorry bud :/

Mine fits great. I wouldn't change anything, except possibly the use of velcro. Functionally though, the sheath is perfect.

Go to the Blackhawk website. They list many models and suggested sizes. Mine fit my PPK perfectly.

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.

i have no idea. i would look at the box label for the country of origin to see, but i tossed it out long ago. as for a replacement sheath, i would say either make your own, or find a leather worker in your area. as far as making your own, i find that heating up PVC pipe is a great way to replicate kydex sheaths. if you can, visit youtube and see if you can find videos for home made sheaths using pvc pipe.

Hello Guru. I double checked that portion in which you are asking about. it should fit with little to no problem. The "belt" loop is +/- 4 inches and should fit a standard pant/5.11 belt. The only issue I have with this sheath is that I have the older style very thick handle and the straps that hold the snaps to secure the knife in the sheath itself are to short and will require some modification to work. But other than that small issue, this sheath is what I have been looking for,. Hope this helps

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 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.
