So bought a Cold Steel SRK in CPM 3V. Got it in and (like most other owners) found that it does NOT fit the factory "Secure-Ex" sheath. The blade geometry in 3V is wider than their SK5 version and you have to fight to get it in and out of the factory sheath, potentially dulling/marring the blade's nice satin finish.
Bought a Buck 119 leather sheath (the burgundy version with the anvil "Buck" logo stamped on it) for it. Took out the plastic liner and the SRK 3V fits *almost* perfectly. Have to apply just a tad of pressure the final 1/8" to get it to seat flush top of sheath opening to bottom of SRK's grip, but after doing it two or three times it goes in smooth. The sheath's wrap-around secure-strap (for lack of better term) fits the handle and the guard perfectly. Side bonus, the Buck 119 sheath holds the knife higher closer to the belt than the Cold Steel's hanging style plastic sheath. Plus the burgundy leather with my SRK's olive green handle looks pretty good.

The factory sheaths are my only complaint with Cold Steel. The 3V SRK has definitely been a knife I’d like to try.. post some pics !!
 
I was lucky with my SRK 3V sheath fitment. That said, I have an inexpensive aftermarket one in a different color showing up soon from a guy who makes nice kydex ones. He offers them online for the different models. The SRK is a great knife and certainly well worth having.
