I cant be sure because I don't have the sheath anymore. I do think your knife will fit, that sheath was at least 2 1/2 inches at the mouth.

That will depend on how you intend to use it. THe sheath would seem a little bulky for around your neck.

Because the sheath is gusseted, something one inch in diameter will fit easily in the sheath. Be it a monocular, a knife with round handles (think Opinel) or a tactical flashlight (my use for the sheath) it should work just fine for you. Velcro is holding up well but the buckle fastener is the feel advantage to this sheath. No accidental opening with this puppy.

Mine has the knife at 9-1/8". Knife and sheath together are 10" even. Variations in length for both knifes and sheaths are common. So our 3 answers so far will get you in the ballpark.

My Victorinox Fibrox 8 inch Chefs Knife fits snug on this BladeSafe. The thickest part on my blade (closest to the handle) is a bit under 1/8". The inside of the BladeSafe has 2 on each side a small rubber like to hold the knife secure. It keeps the knife from sliding around the BladeSafe. Looking at mine., I don't think a 1/4' thick blade would fit.

I house a Victorinox 8 inch chef's knife and a Henckels Santoku in a 6-8 inch blade-safe. Both fit fine.

Mine fits great. I wouldn't change anything, except possibly the use of velcro. Functionally though, the sheath is perfect.

About the same width as the blade but only about 1/2 thick. It's a good sheath. I recommend.

I have the sheath your looking at, Its a great sheath, not sure if it will work with a larger knife, there is a kydex/plastic liner that holds the blade. May not be forgiving enough to allow the larger blade, while there is a (little) wiggle room with my K-Bar you may have to work your blade in and out a bit (maybe with a little frog-lube or something) to get it to work. For the short money the K-Bar sheath costs, I would give it a shot. You can always sell it on Amazon if it doesn't work

Ok, actual dimensions are 11.5 x 5.6 x 8 inches ; 6.2 pounds. For me, it holds my bread knife, which is my longest knife, with no problem. It also holds a chefs knife, three santokus, a paring knife, a filet knife, and 8 steak knives. Oh, and my meat thermometer. Buy it. You will love it - I know I do!Oh, also, it holds darn near anything - the inside is thousands of plastic rods that conform around your knives. If one sticks up a little, no problem, because it is being held in place by the little plastic rods.

The sheath would likely fit but the snap strap to secure the handle I'm not sure.

Richard, I'm sorry it took so long to get back on this. Yes, like Edward said, it should be good. I've got an old Gerber BMF in mine, and it's around 8", just under 1 1/2" wide, and 1/4 thick. It fits nicely, with some wiggle room side to side.

It fits on most belts. I haven't had any problem with the knife sheath at all. As long as you don't use the thick tactial belts you will be fine. Or those rodeo belts that people wear with the immensely large buckles. Then nothing to worry about.

It easily accommodates my 6" Wusthof chef's knife. The rack is slightly over 8" long, so it is clearly long enough. I'm not certain about whether the slot is wide enough to accommodate an 8" knife. The slot is wider than my chef's knife, so it's probable that the rack will accommodate an 8" knife. It's a great product, especially in a small kitchen.

I don't know the dimensions of the old hickory butcher, but I used as a sheath for a 7inch butcher knife I built from a kit that Hantz sells and it fits it very well
