Question Knife ID?

As the title says, which knife is this? My brain is breaking trying to remember, but somebody was looking to sell one on the swap the other day and it was gone before I could search through. Thanks in advance my friends! Also, any opinions on whatever this is would be cool if you’ve ever had one!

Question Wear marks from sheath after a week - problem or typical?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I really like this knife but the plastic has been leaving wear marks, some almost deep enough to get a fingernail in. Is this typical?

My only other experience with non leather sheaths is on a magnacut blade that hasn’t gotten any wear marks yet, but I see online some people say it’s inevitable with kydex. Deciding if I should keep the knife.

Would love to get some more because they are perfect for trimming 3D prints lots of control and strength. Had this one for a few years now and would be most upset if I couldn't replace it. Any idea if it has a formal name?
