It is accompanied by a heavy black leather sheath with white contrast stitching and a belt loop.
The second knife is a small custom camping Damascus knife with a high-contrast patterned utility blade. The blade and tang are unmarked. The handle features layered black and grey G10 or Micarta scales, secured to the full tang with two brass pins, and includes a brass-lined lanyard hole at the pommel. It is paired with a black leather pouch-style sheath with dark stitching.
