You are reading this because you are trying to decide if this is the right pouch for the knife you have or want to buy, and, the answer is yes. But, be warned, it may be a junk item when you get it. I have bought several of these in years past and the quality keeps going down. Now the quality is poor at best. The originals were made from good leather and were sewn well.. The last one I bought was so screwed up on the sewing that I had to exchange it. That one and the replacement are made of leather that is so stiff that it is near brittle, and will crack if bent far enough. Should you buy one? Yes, but only because you have few choices.. You could buy the nylon one, but I think it has velcro on it, and that not something you want on backpacking and camping gear as it tears hell out of everything it touches.. Here is the deal, when you buy this pouch, and you find that the sewing is adequate, then before you use it, treat it heavily with some type of leather softner. There are a few on the market. I use Lexol and Mink Oil.
