L.L.Bean should put the blade in the sheath.
The two I received which I only opened one box the knife would not fit in the sheath so I returned both.

It is a shame that L.L. Bean could not see their way clear to provide a quality sheath with this knife. The knife itself is decent enough but the sheath screams CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!

Knife is OK
The knife looks nice, however in my estimation it was not sharp, sharp to me means cutting hair of my arm. It was made in China, there are many good knives makers here in the US.
