KA-BAR1217S, Leather Sheath, USMC Logo, Fits Knife with 7" Blade, Brown

If you’re looking for that replacement sheath for your original K bar, this is the product to get these are well-made. I can’t find the difference between this one in the original there spot on.

Made of very durable cowhide in Mexico, this attractively embossed leather sheath was a perfect fit for my KA-BAR Mark II (WW II vintage) knife. Like a quality baseball mitt, the sheath feels thick and stiff but once "broken-in," it fits perfectly. It took a little strength and stretching, but I was able to snap the straps on the knife handle. After I left the snap on for a few minutes, I undid the snap and was able to button the straps again quite easily. The sheath is well crafted, especially the Marine Corps embossing, and the leather smells pleasantly genuine.

First off... I went ahead and gave this a 5 star review even tho the snap on the sheath didnt fit my KA-BAR as I wished it would. The reason it did not fit is because my KA-BAR is the WW2 Camillus Issued Knife (1944-1945) model. The handle of my particular model knife is a bit wider than the USMC knife issued and sold today. Really it's no big deal, with a slight modification, removal of the original strap and replacement with 550 cord everything is good to go! I stuck with the 5 star review because regardless of my model knife this sheath is solid and very well made for the KA-BAR it is designed for. There is a sticker on the sheath that states it is made in Mexico, I understand that may be a problem for some but for $11.00 you can't really expect much more. The leather is actually of very good quality. It's not super stiff, but not super soft either. I will be conditioning it just to make it a bit more pliable per my liking. All in all if you are looking for a replacement sheath for the KA-BAR this is definitely a good investment! You can't beat the price and quality!

Needed a sheath for an old similar length bladed knife. Fit good. Made in Mexico. Not great quality but still pretty good.

Made well

genuine kabar sheath. Smells very good.

A must buy !!!

Needed a sheath for a kbar knife, ordered this and it came just as described. Fits the knife perfectly, handle strap fits and snaps tight. The leatherwork is well done, stitching is perfect and the Marine emblem looks good. I am going to oil the leather good before I take it outside, leather seems a little dry but not a big deal.

Funda muy bonita ,elegante y de buen tamaño....producto muy recomendable !!!

Ordered one for my OKC Old Hickory. Fits perfectly. Good quality, well made leather sheath. Very happy with it.

Die Scheide ist gut verarbeitet, das Leder ist sehr stabil. Die Halteschlaufe am Griff war jedoch um ca. 5mm zu kurz und konnte anfangs nicht geschlossen werden. Erst nach reichlich Einsatz von Lederfett konnte sie soweit gedehnt werden das man sie schließen konnte.Deshalb ein Stern abzug.

Great sheath! Fits my ka-bar 7" fighting knife perfectly (as intended). Needs Alittle work when first getting the sheath as it's stiff and a bit difficult to pull the knife out; but with a bit of use it's fine. I have the kye-Dex sheath as well and I can say this sheath looks better although not as practical in the wet, it totally depends on what your environment is like; wet and humid or dry and sunny.

Works great bought 2 of them.
