KA-BAR TDI Investigator Custom Kydex Sheath (Model 1493)

This custom Kydex sheath is precision-formed specifically for the KA-BAR TDI Investigator (Model 1493), offering a compact, durable carry solution with a clean, low-profile design. The one-piece foldover (taco style) construction reduces bulk while maintaining excellent retention and long-term durability.

Designed to accommodate the distinctive curved profile of the KA-BAR TDI Investigator, this sheath provides secure friction retention without the need for straps or snaps, allowing for a smooth, consistent draw. The foldover construction keeps the sheath compact while providing dependable blade coverage and retention.

Eyelets are spaced ½" on center, making the sheath compatible with a variety of mounting options and carry attachments. Carry orientation and hardware setups can be customized using the available attachment options.

Colors and carry attachments are selectable using the dropdown menus, allowing you to configure the sheath to fit your preferred carry style. If no attachment is selected, an approximately 40" length of 550 paracord will be included for lashing or temporary carry.

This sheath is knife-specific and is designed to fit the KA-BAR TDI Investigator Model 1493 only. It will NOT fit the KA-BAR TDI Law Enforcement models 1480 or 1482, or other KA-BAR TDI knife models, even if they appear similar in size or design. Customers should verify their knife model number prior to ordering to ensure proper fit.
