S sportingspecial1 Thanks for the kind words. I've never pursued waterfowl, however Buck has put out some pretty nifty DU items

You’re welcome.

My family has been fortunate to have hunted the Atlantic flyway. More specifically the Chesapeake Bay and the Eastern shore area of Maryland.

I find myself using nylon sheaths more than I ever thought I would.
I think they are more comfortable, less likely to cause green funk on brass, washable, and really quite durable.

Yes I agree and the nylon has vertical and horizontal belt loops and clip. Nylon it is.

I finally found one of these Cabela's 914s for a decent price.

This knife is very similar to my Marbles Woodcraft.

I think I remember reading that Marbles forced Buck to stop making them after a few years. One of the members here probably has the full story.

SMKW purchased the rights to Marbles.
Tops did a remake of the Wood craft with SMKW' s blessing, nice knife too.

I'm not sure of the Marbles/Cabela's/Buck issue on the 914.

They're great knives.
There's some good old threads on them.

Interesting, regarding the Marbles Woodcraft.
In May 2023, I was driving through Gladstone, MI on a camping trip through the U.P.
I purposely brought my Marbles Woodcraft and Fieldcraft sheath knives along to stop by and have Marbles sharpen them.
They no longer offered to sharpen their knives (really ?) and referred me to Rapid River Knives about 10 miles up Hwy 2.
So, I stopped in and the owner shared how his Grandfather proudly worked at Marbles for many years.
Everything there has changed, all knives are made and imported from China......very disappointing all around.
Rapid River Knives is a beautiful knife shop, displays and many different knives.
The owner supports veterans, law enforcement, emt's, etc. He cleaned and sharpened both knives at no expense because I'm a Navy Veteran. .
