Can someone explain how the Sheath works / attaches. Is it a must to wear a belt? TY!

It is not a must. The sheath has a clip plate that attaches to the belt or pants with a metal clip.

Hi, I own these. They are balanced throwing knives, and as such have no hook or hole by which to attach to a belt. The belt would need to "holster" the knife in order to keep the knife in position.

This knife is designed to strap on your leg. Its a sharp knife but I think you need to look else where for a Uniform knife that has a belt sheath.

This isn't really a sheath, it's a harness that attaches to a scabbard via the straps/buckles. You can attach it to a bokken or shinai, but there's absolutely no way you would be able to draw from it.

I think so. But my use of this is as a backup set that lives in a backpack. So no direct experience with trying to wear the sheath.

Hi Rob, The sheath is a nice oiled heavy duty leather but it does not have the slits to a attach to a belt. Bill at Kenco, The Work and Play Outfitter

Yeah it does. Its an easy sheath to attach to anything. In the Marine Corps, I always mounted ons to my gear, although I had one stolen, but my sheath was zip tied to my stuff, so I have two sheaths now. The sheath is lined with plastic, and holds the knife well.

Yeah, it came with nylon sheath. 3 rivets on each side and 2 on the bottom. The one's on the bottom were buttons for keeping it clasped. It was decent, but mine came with one of the side rivets being detached, so the sheath didn't stay closed entirely. I contacted SOG and they replaced it for me immediately. The replacement had a belt loop as well for attaching to a belt (obviously) or a backpack.

No, belt loop only; but that would have been nice. I ordered the "Tek Lok" which is an after market belt clip that screws onto the sheath (this works well, but is added expense). Otherwise the knife and sheath are great!! Good luckClarification: If by buckle you were asking about the knife staying in the sheath without straps engaged it does. You don't need to use straps the knife will clip in and is easy to remove. My initial answer above was referring to a quick detach belt buckle/clip. Hope this helps.

the sheath has no clip but the belt loop is removeable/ adjustable, made of nylon and can be attached to a belt without having to remove the belt, knife is held in place with retention and is secured via button snap closure. With some velcro or cordage you could attach a small pouch. I highly recommend this knife it is well worth the money. A couple of things i noticed are that the back edge of the knife is rounded on one side and i was unable to get a spark off the knife itself but works great with ferro rod.

That's how I carry it & it rides fine. There are a couple of after market sheaths that sit better & have better retention. The one I have costs more than the knife but I think it's worth it. Let me know if you are interested.

You would either need to lash it to the belt with cord or something, or buy the belt clip version of the sheath. The sheath that it comes with is flat on both sides and does NOT have a clip.

The sheath is entirely nylon. There are two belt openings. You may wear the sheath vertical or horizontal. The tool seems to flop around when carried upright. On the sideways carry, if your belt is too thick, it will be difficult to holster the tool.

This sheath will slide on the belt if it's worn loosely. But if you sinch up your belt the sheath stays put. It fits up to a 1 3/4" belt. If it's a double thick belt, like the 5.11 instructor's belt, it won't slide at all.

You use it to secure the sheath to your leg. I like mine a lot. I have it attached to one of my packs.

Yes, it comes with secure ex sheath. It's Hard plastic that locks the knife in place. Multiple ways to mount and belt loop.

Mine came with a nylon belt sheath. I would've preferred to have gotten the leather pouch for it so I could use the carabiner to hook it to my pack.
