Review: Nothing wrong with sheath if you are resourceful - Great knife. Very sharp. I took a small flat head screwdriver and gently pried the sheath along the seams until I liked the retention. If you make it too lose just squeeze it back together with pliers and start again until it is just right. Nothing to it. If you cannot figure this stuff out, stick to a butter knife or a fork.
Review: Extraordinary Knife, Unacceptable Sheath - Correct terminology: Reverse Kerambit. Perfect ergonomics. Beyond perfect. A masterpiece of design in every regard. Someone deserves recognition for this. Well made. Surprisingly good steel at this price. Esthetically beautiful. The bad part, the sheath. It takes two people to pull this knife out of the sheath. I see no way of fixing this sheath as designed. A deal breaker. I returned it. However, the knife itself serves so well in the self defense role. Index finger through the loop, point down and edge forward, the defender needs no skill nor training: intuition and the design of the knife will carry the day. I may purchase this knife again. If I do, I will use a hack saw to remove the retention portion of the sheath, and I will put an UltiClip Slim 3.3 belt clip on it (available on desertcart). The knife will have NO retention, but it will carry high and concealed, and draw like lightning. I might do that. If you want to try that too, you will not find a better self defense knife at any price on the internet.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the size of the finger ring?**
A: The inside of the finger ring measures about an inch across.  It's large enough for me to put my index finger or thumb through, comfortably.  I have medium-sized hands, and even the thumb knuckle has some extra room.  This is a wicked knife, and is perfect for utility or tactical uses.  Comes razor sharp.  I'm glad I bought mine.  Also, a feature they should advertise is that the kydex sheath has a clip that's reversible.  You can wear it right or left handed, or even upside-down.

**Q: Where was it made**
A: It's not engraved on the knife, unless it's under the handle.

**Q: how do you get it out of the sheath**
A: In 30 years of using kydex, this is the first sheath that's TOO tight on the blade. 
Better a little too tight than too loose but this is excessively tight. 
So for now right out of the box, I have to be cautious how I get it out, because it's pointy.

**Q: Is the belt clip turnable to be worn horizontally?**
A: Yes it just has screw fasteners so you can adjust it as long as the screw holes line up for the clip to be in the position you want

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extraordinary Knife, Unacceptable Sheath

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ One fault to a otherwise nice knife.
*by M***S on December 14, 2025*

It is a bit of a struggle to get the knife out of the sheath. I found if you push the handle forward ( away from the blade ) as you pull the knife up and out, that removing it is easier. Arrived quite sharp and a good weight as well as a good fit to my average hand. Hope you can enjoy it.
