" ... Amazing construction fits well against the body and doesn’t stick out when you lean over ... "
" ... The knife is great, the sheath is great quality and fits the knife well, but the belt clip is designed for vertical carry only. ... "

" ... Very durable and fits firmly in your hand. ... However, the case that comes with it is about 1/4 inch thick without the metal clip. ... After cutting down my patrol belt so the extra belt doesn't loop around and behind my magazine pouch, I was able too create a little more room to clip the knife and case behind the magazine pouch. ...

" ... I personally don't have a problem with it, other than it is not the most secure thing. ... I wear a reinforced gun belt made by Alien Gear, and it clips on just fine, but it is far from completely secure. ... I may invest in a custom kydex sheath, but for now, it works great. ... You can swap the metal clip from side to side if you need to. ... At the very least, spend time unsheathing and re-sheathing it, as well as a practicing a proper grip. ... "
" ... Fits good on my inner belt, not going to fit on standard duty belt though, good back up weapon stays in sheath. ... "
" ... I have no quality issues with the sheath or belt clip. ... "
