The Brisa sheath for the Enzo trapper 95 fits pretty well, when the tripe blade is out. The knife blade is too wide to fit.

Good quality and a tight snug fit. Use it with the dangler loop, or not.

Here is mine, in the 1558L left handed version.

That's a good sheath, especially for that price. They are machine stitched, making them more likely to fail than hand stitched but they hit their price point well above what you'd expect.

The stitching is indeed the weak point. Otherwise the materials are quite good.

I inject each stitchhole with superglue which locks up the stitching. Then apply tent seam-sealant to the exposed threads to hopefully make them more durable.

TBH the swingblade is a convenient knife which is efficient and good value, but I now have better ones with less clumsy blades. The tripe blade is still the best, and makes it well worthwhile carrying as my backup. I think they have since redesigned the swingblade with a more suitable main blade, but I've not yet seen one.

I got the sheath in a kit with an Enzo Elver D2 flat grind blade, which I hope will do most of my small deer work rather better, once I complete it.
