Does this have a welt to keep rivets from contacting the blade? is it sturdy leather?

No welt On mine. Had a little slack with my Fiskars and I just fashioned one with some old heavy felt I had laying around. It's stiff ol rawhide. I put a couple coats of neatsfoot oil on it and then a coat of mink oil. That put a little color in it and soften it up a little bit. Decent deal for the money.

Very sturdy leather. Not sure what a welt is. Used this on a hatchet belonging to our Boy Scout troop. Soaked it in water, put it on the hatchet, and when it dried is perfectly conformed to the hatchet. Should put up with years of punishment.

It's not flimsy, but it is only one-ply. It seems to be the same thickness of other collars I have of the same material. I don't rivet, but sew in the pup's metal dog license (with an upholstery needle) and that wasn't a problem.

yes, it has a locking blade and a razor sharp edge. It is also well balanced. You should have no problem.

It will be a snug fit to start but may ease up with use, there is no welt but it is glued around the rivets. I have a small boyscout hatchet in it that is too small for the cover and moves around a bit and has not been damaged by the rivets.

Mine came with the Leather Sheath, and I prefer the leather. The snap lets you know it locked in and is more sturdy than the nylon on my belt. Plus, I don't have the noise everytime I get out my tool.

Sadly no. It snaps into place and is great for things like whittling wood, and general knife-use tasks, but if you require a true locked blade, this won't be it. Hope this helps. J.

So you're asking if the sheath has rivet holes the soft IWB belt loops can be connected to? The answer if yes, 5 rivet holes on top and 5 on bottom running the whole length of where the blade sits inside the sheath

The one I received did have three rivets and did come in Black Box. It also has Germany stamped or laser printed on blade. Very happy with purchase. I also bought the Puma Bowie. Happy with both purchases.

It does not. But it is a great hammer. I have thought of going to an army surplus store to find a sheath I can wear on my belt for it. All I use right now is a D-ring on a piece of leather that clips to my belt.

yes and no...the edge is beveled and is good for heavy work, however the handle needs to be finished more...i used danish oil and beeswax to get it waterproof...Also the blade is carbon steel and will RUST if not wiped dry after every use...its a good deal for the money overall.

There is a stitched loop, so the knife can slip onto a belt.I have seen a self grommet kit, where one can punch wwhatever size hole(s)³, to accommodate the knife you have.The leather knife sheath is so well made, with the buckle snap locking device.I hope this helps answer your question.I guess you I guess you could buy (which I've seen)

Yes it is. Handle is cut leather washers Stacked and then the base is attached to the tang. Being a retired Marine when we went to the field they would allow us to take some of our own equipment. This is one that I took. Whether this is dumb or not I painted the leather handle with black oil based paint. That was to stop the leather from rotting. Good thing I did the leather sheath rotted out quickly. Any Military surplus store will have a woven poly, quality work sheath to replace. It worked and the paint is still adhered to the leather handle after all these years. This is a pilot survival knife, the back saw edge was designed to rip through aluminum metal. That way the pilot could leave the plane. These are top of the line survival knives. The thick shorter edge blade will handle allot of abuse. The stone that comes with them will do the job, But a pocket pal Smiths "V" sharpeners are much quicker and easier, will fit in the spot made for the stone. The upper edge of the blade can be sharpened the same as the straight edge bottom. I did mine in case a last chance came to me. I never saw one used for anything but utility, ropes food and so on. The bigger K-Bars were just to large to handle and cut small items. Couldn't control the long blade. I was prying and even snapped the blade in 2. OK I'll shut up now. Except Rothco makes quality military knives.

There is a wing nut to remove the blade. There is also 2 positive stops to keep the blade open or closed for storage. I find the wing nut to be adequately sized so it can be securely tightened by hand even with gloves on.

Yes it does. I know that some people don't like it, however, I have my knife attached to the side of my backpack and it has never slid or fallen out of the sheath when putting the backpack on or taking it off. I've never needed my knife out for such quick use that the second snap was an issue and knowing I'm not going to loose it while out in the woods is a comfort!

I added this knife to collection a few months ago and found it to be a beautifully made and finished combat dagger. I tested today to answer this specific question and am satisfied that the molded plastic sheath holds the knife firmly[stays in, held upsidedown without strap] but pulls out easily ,no snagging

It looks surgical steel, its very resistant, I've used it to cut beef meat and bones and even wood and works great

The sheath has a military style nylon belt loop double stitched to it and a metal snap for quick release.Seems to be plenty rugged to me.
