Sheath

The LC-2 Ek Sheath (Included with each Knife)

Ek knows that camouflage discipline can be important in combat, so we allow you the choice of four colors, so you can mission-tailor your sheath.

Sheath color choices for all knives are (L to R): Black, Desert Tan, ACU and O.D. Knives are (L to R): TacOps, Desert Patrol, ACU/Ranger and Survival/Fighter.
Note -- not shown above -- all sheath tie-down straps at the tip are now wrapped around a 1"x4" toggle, to make re-wrapping easier for the owner.

Ek sheaths are now the thickest available anywhere -- over one-half inch thick -- four layers of Mil-Spec web belting! Ek knives have been called combat-worthy works of art -- might as well give them the best protection possible! Compared is a standard sheath in the photo below (top) to the Ek sheath (bottom).

The sheath (included) of your Ek Commando Knife is designed to meet and exceed the demands of military combat, with these special attributes:

• The thickest sheaths available anywhere -- over 1/2" thick.
• Made of four layers Mil-Spec, battle-proven LC-2 (Load Carrying Equipment) Web Belt for battle-proven long life
• Designed with a special stitching pattern so it can rotate, if worn on belt, when sitting in a Humvee, Amtrac, APC, etc.
• No hard plastic to rattle -- better noise discipline
• No-ravel, heat-sealed ends
• Metal riveted, screwed and double-lock stitched for long life
• Slip-Strip lined for no-scratch, no-wear, silent in/out sheath
• Wide loop for pistol belt
• Hilt retention strap of HD Velcro and HD nylon strapping
• Subdued black "D"-ring at tip for lash-down
• P-Cord (5') attached to "D"-ring for lashing to leg or equipment
• P-Cord (12') -- wrapped around sheath body -- plenty for lashing sheath to Body Armor, Flack Jacket, Combat Vest or Belt Suspenders
• Choice of colors (shown above) for best camouflage discipline: Black, Desert Tan, A.C.U. or O.D.
• P-Cord wrist strap and P-Cord on sheath match the sheath
• You can order extra sheaths in colors to further mission-tailor your knife
