Does the sheath dull the edge? I don't mean make it dull enough to not cut, but lose the razor edge quickly. I've had two FRN sheaths and both kill the edge just by insert and draw the knife a few times, one is a Becker and another Spyderco, so now I'm nervous about these injection mold sheaths.
Also how is the handle length compare with regular USMC? I had one and the handle was a bit short for me, though MK1 doesn't have a upper guard so that alleviate the problem somewhat.
Roughly the same length, but its thicker, more hand filling than the 1217 oval shape. My wife has a kraton one that I sharpened up for her a little while back, she says its still sharp. I'll check it to see.
Yeah, FRN does dull the hell outta knife edge, but I know Kabar is now going to IJM plastic, to alleviate that issue. the new sheaths are already in the rotation.
