Review: I have an Ontario Knife Company 948 Knife and it is basically the same design of the Kabar that this sheath is designed for, but it too suffers the same problem whereas it comes with a terrible (albeit leather) sheath from the factory. I took a gamble buying this as I couldn't find any reviewers that tried something similar but I was pleased to see that it fit perfectly! I attached some pictures (even the handle guard fit the exact way into the sheath and clips in perfectly!). I was so thrilled that I ended up buying a second one of these to use on a different knife I own. I re-purposed an old Scuba Diving knife for camping (the Cresci Orca), but the problem was that it came with a rubber sheath meant for undersea diving and strapping the your leg over a wet-suit. The knife itself actually is wonderful for other outdoor purposes, but I needed another sheath that was meant to bring backpacking. I did have to make a few slight modifications though, since the Orca is about the same length as the Kabar I thought it would fit perfecly, but the Orca is a little bit thicker (not wider, but the thickness is a bit more). It fit into the sheath but it was a tight fit, so I took a heat gun and gently heated up the sheath with the Orca inside so that it would form better to the Orca, and that worked perfectly! I also had to cut off both top parts of the retainer clips on this sheath so that the Orca would fit in either way (it has a rather large handle guard buy only on one side). I attached some pictures, hopefully someone else will find this info useful as I was searching myself before I tried this and I couldn't fin anything online. All in all, this is an excellent sheath and I like how it has a lot of mounting points for lashing, very customizable! I ended up adding some paracord to mine, but there are also plenty of mounting points for webbing as well if you want to go that route.

Excellent quality. Fits the standard Ka-Bar USMC 7" Knife like a glove. I ordered additional quantities after seeing the quality and fitting of the first sheath that was received by me.
