Um...why the hell is the suger so yellow? Did he piss in is?
 
If he did nail that knife into concrete at "almost full force'' Im positive he'd have more than a couple little chips. Or he's just really, REALLY weak.
 
I pay good money for knife AND sheath, since they're going to be inseparable. I don't want to spend another hundred bucks on a custom sheath because they wanted to save a little and cut out kydex or leather. My BK16 came in an awful sheath. My ESEE IzulaII came in a sheath that was snug until I stripped the blade. Even so, at least my Izula stays sharp when I pull it out, and that's not even kydex. Brand loyalty is a good thing, but don't lambaste someone as wrong or uninformed because they don't agree with your opinion. The Becker sheaths suck to save money, the ESEE sheaths cost out the ass but are pretty nice, same with Bark River, and the Fallkniven sheath is just funky, but is tested to do better with wet knives in freezing environments. It's always nice when a company offers multiple options though.
 
all this is mostly old news, esp for the current lineups, KaBar is mostly using plastic sheaths now, no more glass stuff. KaBar is probably one of the few companies that has managed to design, redesign, refine, and then completely redesign things that don't work. the BK2 in particular is multi-generations along now in both knife and sheath - they sell so well, and sell OUT that it's easy for KaBar to introduce change. largely for the cusotmer's benefit.

sure, some of that is floating out there, esp as second hand blades. KaBar has no obligation to support old sheaths (imho), and realistically most companies don't provide lifetime full coverage warranties on old blades, but they often step up. sheaths? by the time you pay postages/etc, you can get a nice new sheath.

speaking of, i'll see the original referred to video as a commercial for the guy's own sheaths. of course he has to put a part of a product down, to show why his product is better? basic marketing. based on information/facts from nearly a year ago.

remember the old adage: nobody can make a sheath, esp for pennies, that will satisfies all customers. most? sure. all? not going to happen. some customers only want leather. some only want injection molded. some other? they want tactical molle sheaths. or something else entirely. the single digit dollars those factory sheaths probably end up costing are just to store your knife and protect you. if they come up with a REALLY GOOD ONE, rejoice. otherwise, as is said before: there are many more expensive knives that come with no sheath, at all, and those sheaths cost MORE than entire Becker setups.

this issue will probably never die. someone, somewhere is going to hate something, and be loud about it on the internet. they seem to feel they have a lot coming to them for their massive investment. i'm just going to have to suggest they get some depth, and breadth of experience, and realize they should be focusing on the knife...

seriously, who buys a knife because of the sheath? (other than the sheath makers who study and mock :>) Bueller? even Ethan, for the most part, buys knives he's interested in. sheaths? don't like it? toss it. because it was basically free, a container to get the knife home safely.

that's about that for me :)

I thought the same thing........come on, come on now hack that pinkie. Pretty stupid to have his fingers on the edge side of a sheath doing the rapid "in out"
After he stated his case, then restated the same thing over and over with that whiny petulant attitude. Say it and stand by what you have said like a man but don't whine already. I had an open hand trembling in "smack mode" with his verbal tone.
