It is a great little knife (thinking of the fixed-blade rather than the folding version), with a curved handle that fits the palm perfectly and a stout blade that will handle pretty much anything I've thought of to date. And yes, the sheath that comes with it is pretty worthless. I've actually made a virtue of necessity: I've stripped off all the hangers from the sheath and just carry the knife, sheathed, in a pocket. I can flick the sheath off with my thumb as I draw the knife from the pocket, use the knife as needed, then swap hands, retrieve the sheath and re-pocket as before.
