Hi Guys

Been thinking of getting a CRKT civet bowie
Looks good but not sure about the sheath

Anyone have experience with this knife and is it worth it or should I give it a skip?
 
You're going to have to use both hands to draw it, because that little flap of kydex above the spine is not going to be enough to overcome the spring action of the sheath. The knife will "torque" on the choil, and jam inside the sheath.

Either that or the sheath will be too loose, Like the one on my CRKT Dogfish. After a few hours of pocket carry, the kydex warmed up, and let the knife drop into my pocket, with the point facing up :eek:

This was close to ten years ago, and Columbia River may have fixed the problem, but I doubt it. My advice to you would be to buy the knife, and if you really love it, get a custom sheath made.
