What the hell is this?



Benchmade makes really natty folding knives. That butterfly is their logo. But other than that, I don't know what to make of this thing. If you have any ideas, please share.

I don't get what you don't get. It looks like a pretty simple knife in a sheath.

As for your comment, "I don't know what to make of this thing." What do you mean? As the curator of the prestigious Knife of the Day Institute, it's your job to know.

I'll be damned. I didn't realize it was two pieces. What's with all the holes around the perimeter of the sheath?

As for my alleged expertise, I readily admit I have none. Knife of the Day is an exploration into the world of knives, not an authoritative reference source of them.

It's an Elishewitz design called the Tether.

You can't tell by the outline on the sheath, but the blade really is an odd configuration.

The holes around the perimeter are used to attach the sheat to something else, e.g. a belt, a backpack, molle loops, a neckstrap etc...

A "Tek-Lok" is a common way to attach a knife sheath to a belt.
