Nice Upgrade to Stock Sheath
I love my TDI knife, but the stock sheath is a bit fragile due to the clip-style attachment system that can be bent if the sheath catches on something. This knife is my edc, so I needed a sheath that could take a bit more abuse. The Valhalla is pretty great, and definitely a nice upgrade.<br />-Pros: Robust, nice rivets, and a flattering shape that allows you to get a full grip on the knife before deploying (unlike the stock sheath). The belt slot works well with most normal belts, and can be moved around to accommodate multiple carry angles. The hold is tight, but the knife comes out with moderate thumb pressure or a quick jerk.<br />-Cons: "Coyote Brown" is a slightly different color from the "coyote brown" used by Kabar. Doesn't really matter to me, but it might to you. Also, no positive "click" when the knife is fully seated in the sheath. Again, not a deal breaker, but a "click" just gives me peace of mind and saves time. Each sheath is slightly different too, with kydex, so it could just be the one I got. Finally, Kydex can dull your edge over time, and this one seems to be no exception. I hone my knife regularly anyway so it's no big deal, and I've never had a kydex sheath that doesn't cause dulling.<br />Overall, a nice upgrade for a nice price.
