Not sure if that is for anyone or just eggroll, but here is my .02.

Questionable BHI quality, possibly made in some Southeast Asian commie sweat shop. Note: The knife maker and vendor (TSSI) have been assured by BHI that this sheath is all Made in the USA, FWIW.

Looks like Nytaneon rather than Cordura. Who knows what type thread is used?

Fake 550 cord for tie down. How many fractions of a cent do you think BHI saved on that? Knife uses the real thing.

Several stories of seams coming loose and sheath wearing through.

A bit bulky, IMHO. Optional CRK leather one is sweet, as are some of the aftermarkets, like a Bill Dozier Kydex one I have.

Needs an optional dedicated sharpener and survival kit.

Just my ,02, YMMV.
