Ka-Bar Full-size Brown Leather USMC Sheath

Full-Size USMC Sheath

This is Ka-Bar's brown leather sheath for its full-size fighting and utility knives, made in the familiar USMC pattern. It suits owners replacing a worn or lost sheath on a full-size Ka-Bar such as the 1217 USMC, and collectors who want a correct sheath alongside the knife. The listing covers the sheath only. No knife is included.

Features

• Brown Leather Construction — The body is cut from brown leather that softens with use and keeps the classic Ka-Bar look.
• USMC Markings — The face is stamped with "USMC" and the Marine Corps Eagle, Globe and Anchor emblem.
• Ka-Bar Stamp — A stamped Ka-Bar panel near the throat identifies the maker.
• Stitched And Riveted Seam — The edge is stitched along its length, and metal rivets set along the seam help keep the blade off the thread.
• Snap Retention Strap — A leather strap with a metal snap closes over the knife's handle so the knife stays seated in the sheath.
• Fold-Over Belt Loop — The upper section folds back on itself to form a loop that slides onto a standard belt.
• Tip Hole — A punched hole near the tip can take a thong or cord, for example to tie the sheath down to your leg.
• Full-Size Pattern — The sheath is shaped for Ka-Bar's full-size knives rather than the shorter models.

Leather Build And Fit

The sheath follows the long-standing Ka-Bar USMC layout: a stitched blade pocket, a wider throat for the guard, and a belt loop formed from the same piece of leather. Ka-Bar sizes it to fit its full-size knife pattern, so choose this one for a 1217-style knife and not for the short Ka-Bar models. Leather benefits from an occasional conditioning, especially if it gets wet in the field.
