The KA-BAR synthetic knife sheath is made of fiberglass filled reinforced nylon and features two ways to keep the blade secure. A friction guard lock holds the blade securely inside the sheath, and a nylon retaining strap snaps around the handle and another reversible strap on the hilt for left- or right-handed use.

The sheath is also salt water resistant, so the blade will not cut through if the sheath is submerged in salt water. This sheath will fit KA-BAR knives with 5" blades, is rugged and impact resistant.

The KA-BAR synthetic sheath has several grommets and slots for tie-downs, and allows for a variety of carrying options. The slots on the side easily accept universal MOLLE straps, and it features a belt loop an attached figure-8 polymer buckle.
