The hip pocket leather sheath is a really great idea.

The WoodsWalker you should be aware is a tiny knife at just under 2 1/2" blade - but the handle is actually a very usable 3 5/8". The blade stock is thin ~1/16th" and it is flat ground with just perceptible convex quality to it (probably due to smoothing finishing of the blade) - it is very sharp because of the thin blade geometry.

The way the knife is designed gives a "dropped edge" which makes cutting comfortable.

The sheath will also fit the Bark River & Tool Mini Canadian and the Mikro.....
and probably a lot of 2-3" paring knives - like that Shun 3" paring knife in the photo.

For under $20 with the sheath - as they say:

What's not to like?

I have had one since Christmas and am quite happy with it. For my personal tastes, it's a little long to carry in the hip pocket at work, not because the knife is large, just because the sheath sticks out of most of the hip pockets on my slacks and doesn't fit in with business dress. For "woods walking" it is a wonderful small knife though. For $20 you are getting a great deal, you have nothing to loose.
 
It's a terrific knife and a terrific bargain. Sheath is nice (currently recommended for use with the Bark River Knife & Tool Mini AND Mikro Canadian) and fits hip or back pocket. It's actually my wife's favorite knife...she takes it along on hikes and uses it a lot in the kitchen as a paring knife. I don't think you can go wrong with this one.
