## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the blade steel used?**
A: Satin finish, 8Cr13MoV stainless

**Q: Is the sheath molle web compatible? or can a safety lok clip be purchased to make it compatible?**
A: It doesn’t come with a Molle attachment but there are eight holes on the edges of the kydex sheath where you could attach a clip or use cord to attach it to Molle webbing.

**Q: Is this a boot knife? Is there a clip on the sheath? It’s not visible in the pictures**
A: There is no clip. I had to get a clip and add it. This is a poor design, in my opinion, but I love the knife more than my family.

**Q: Anyone been able to find a clip that fits sheath for belt? Inside waistband our outside, doesn’t matter.**
A: Hey there! The Cold Steel mini C clip fits perfectly. Be aware though that this mini clip only accommodates a belt of between 1 3/4, maybe 1 7/8…you could possibly squeeze a 2” belt into it. Hope this helped, stay safe!
