The knife is in great shape needs cleaned is all. The sheath is aluminum and works as it should. Loop it on your belt and when needed just unsnap the snap and pull the knife out and it opens the blade as it’s pulled. Blade rides on a piece of plastic or Delrin so as not to hurt the blade when being pulled out. These were bought out of the back of the old magazines for the buck 110 and Schrade lb7s I thin.
