Knife Sheaths: Basic Knife Care

Video Transcript

" Hi! This is John again and now we are going to be talking about what you need to store your knife in when you are carrying it or not using it. The buoy knife fits into this sheath here. This is a leather type of material. The survival knife/bayonet fits into a nylon type of material that if it gets wet, you don’t have to worry about it rotting on you, and this diving knife which spends most of its time under water, has a plastic sheath. There is a greater unique device here that keeps it in a sheath, which is a locking device. You just push the knife in like this and it locks. Push a button here and it unlocks. It makes it real easy for a diver to get to it when he needs to. Each material is designed for each different use. These knives here are used primarily on land with the survival knife possibly being used a little bit in the water. This knife will be used entirely in the water so you want to have a material that is not going to be rotting or falling apart on you."
