Leather Scout Sheath for the Short Ka Bar Fighting Knife

This is a handmade leather sheath for the Short (5.25″) Ka Bar fighting knife that is meant to be worn horizontally on the belt or “scout style”

This sheath can also be made to fit the tanto version of the short kabar, Feel free to let me know in the order notes if you’d like it built for the tanto version.

Each sheath is made out of 8-10 ounce latigo cowhide and features 2 straps that can be either solid loops that you thread your belt through, or loops with snap closure for easy removal.

The sheath is designed to be worn in the back and drawn with whatever hand you choose when ordering. To carry in front, the setup will be opposite, so if you intend to carry in front and draw with your right hand, you will need to order the LH setup.

Due to the guard, the sheath is unable to be set up in an ambidextrous configuration, so be sure to determine which setup you need before ordering. If you need more information, feel free
to message me.

We offer both silver and black snaps. Let us know in the order notes when ordering what color you would like. If you do not note your preference we will give you the snap that bests suits the color of your sheath (All Ka-bar sheaths will default with black hardware with black stitching.)

As always, customization is available. Feel free to message me for details.
