I got both of these to try as hiking knives. I love the sheaths, they work perfectly on backpack straps in vertical position. I also loved both the blade designs. I tried hard to convince myself the ergonomics were acceptable - I actually found the Elgon the worst of the two - but had to return them due to the odd proportions and feature placement of the handles.
I had the same issue with the Kizer Harpoon sheath, used the larger strap as a inside the belt type configuration, but yeah eventually ITW with a conventional soft-loop.
Same thing with me I took those bands off and I put a belt clip off of one of my gun holsters on it and I used electrical tape it looks crappy and I can't stand it but those bands suck!
The soft loops on my Elgon don't bother me but the retention on my sheath is horrible. I knew I wouldn't like the ring on the cabox so I skipped buying that one.
I purchased the one without the ring. I'm waiting for it, should be delivered tomorrow. And yeah I agree I hate those bands they are stupid! I have not seen a knife yet with those bands that worked, ranger carry lmao the first thing I do is put an Ulticlip on these and remove thise crappy ass stupid bands! Great review I think it's going to be a good knife and I will really like it too...

I have the cabox, fits my hand perfectly and is an amazing scout carry out of the box

As someone who really appreciates ergos, it’s sad to hear this knife didn’t hit the mark in such an integral aspect for me. Great video though Corey!
I had the same problem with the Kizer Harpoon sheath. Had a custom kydex made.
Can you share who you ordered the custom kydex from?
I wrapped over the handle to cover the circle with baseball handle tape . I'm saying it is awesome .
anybody buy this knife and it wasn't sharp and the handle on the fixed blade is loose ? mine sucked i bought the Elgon
The Kizer Baby is an outstanding fixed blade.
Good thing I watched this video I was looking into getting the Cabox
They look good. It's odd about the soft loops. Great video Corey 👍

Leather straps will stretch. They will fit just fine after they break in.
These are a plastic/nylon type of loop that without heat I can’t imagine stretching. Leather would absolutely stretch though
@@staffordsedc Nonsense. I have the knife (Elgon). It's leather. And the knife is great
Definitely think they'd have a better knife without the ring
Solid analysis.
Thank you, I'll skip.
I know that knife reviews aren't exactly exhilarating, but dear God this dull.
Thanks for the feedback, anything in particular that you’d like to see done different?
