Customer Reviews
We bought two of the Persians and both fell out of the sheath on the first day we wore them. One went tip down into some concrete and took some minor tip damage, the other fell out while I was working in the yard and it took a while to find it. I'm currently carrying mine in a pocket carry configuration with an Ulticlip putting some extra pressure on the lip of the sheath and I'm quite happy with it there.
P.S came razor sharp 🤘🏻
Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the sheath. For reasons I don't understand, in order to accommodate a straight draw with the raised thumb ramp, they cut out a 1/3" segment of the top of the injection molded sheath. I assume this was to quiet all the people who complained that you had to observe a specific angle to re-sheathe the earlier Keramin model.
While it certainly makes removal and re-sheathing easier, this comes at a massive cost to retention. The knife comes out of the sheath with extremely little force, and what's worse, it will come out when pushed/pulled on both rearward AND upward directions.
It's fortunate I intended this for pocket carry, where so far the retention has proved just BARELY adequate to keep it from coming out of the sheath inside my pocket (though I have had times where it was loose when I removed it), but under absolutely no circumstances would I neck carry this.
It's a great knife, but this is an astonishing safety fail. I will attempt heating the injection molding and trying to tighten the retention of the sheath manually, but looking at the geometry of how the knife is held in the sheath, I doubt that will be successful. The problem seems to be with the sheath design itself. I expect in the future to have to ultimately make the decision to get an aftermarket kydex sheath for it, or consign to desk work and occasional light pocket carry. It's a shame. CRKT was so close on this one.
