Little bummed since I have a Hartsook waiting for me at home.
They have a new version out that is very similar but with a much better sheath design w/carabiner.
Don't want to post a link since I may get smacked down for that. However, if you look for them they are out there. Also, $15 and made in the US! I may need another one
Some more info on it:
