Answer: Sure looks like it

Does it fit in the 5 inch Kbar sheath?
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: I think that is what I bought for my sheath, but has been so long, I am not sure. However, 5 inch knife will fit 5 inch sheath. You could send it back if it doesn`t. Good luck.

Has anyone bought a sheath for this with plastic insert? Thanks!

Answer: SORRY, NEVER BOUGHT THE SHEATH. I MAKE MY OWN. SHEATH OR NO SHEATH I LOVE THE KNIFE!

What type of high carbon steel is the blade made out of?
Answer: DON'T KNOW THE NUMBERS. ALL I CAN SAY IF THAT I FORCE A PATINA EASILY (I USE MUSTARD) AND THE PATINA DARKENS WITH USE. I'M A FANATIC ABOUT CARBON STEEL MAINTENANCE AND ALL OF MY EFFORTS PAY OFF WITH ANY DEXTER RUSSELL TRADITIONAL KNIFE. HOPE THIS HELPS, JUST A LITTLE

Product reviews of Dexter-Russell 5-Inch Fish Knife
Beeottfirst : Good stout utility knife.
This knife is making a good edition to my camping pack although I haven't used it yet.
STL : A good knife. Well made
A good knife. Well made. Checkered handle is rarely seen now, so it is nice to see Russell still does it. I hope they can offer more sizes and blade patterns.
Terry Brent Stamps : Passionate about Carbon Steel
I've really been focused on carbon steel knives lately. Love the steel and the history. I've added a couple of Dexter-Russell knives to my collection. This 5" Fish Knife is really beautiful and easy to sharpen.
Please be aware when you get a carbon steel knife that they are not stainless steel. You must keep them out of the dishwasher and take care to dry the knife after use. You can even wipe the blade down with a thin coat of cooking oil.
The KA-BAR sheath recommended by Amazon, under the "Frequently bought together", is a great fit for the knife.
I gave it a 4 star rating only because I would have liked the handle to be a bit longer. But the quality of the knife is very good especially for the price.
Amazon Customer : Five Stars
Great knife.
Juan : Great but be careful.
Great design, love how it feels in my hand. One thing i hated about it was how it's packaged. It should at least come in a box for everyone's safety. I reached in the box to grab it and I nearly cut myself with it. The blade was supposed to be covered with a clear plastic cover but it slipped off during shipping. This knife is really sharp so be careful if you buy one without the sheath.
Keep it Simple : You Will Find Few Knives of This Quality at This Price!
All around fine knife for the price. Good quality carbon steel blade. Arrived quickly with a good working edge. Took very little to strop to razor sharp. Handle a little rough, especially around the edges of the checkering, but smoothed out in seconds with a little fine grit. Will definitely be buying Dexter Russell again, and KaTom will be at the top of my vendor list.
Marcus : Diamond in the rough
I appreciate simple antique knife designs like Old Hickory and Green River. Having said that my first impression of this knife was "dollar store putty knife with a point". The finish of the blade looks like cheap stainless steel and the handle was shaped and sanded with all the care and attention to detail of a shipping pallet. There are a lot of sharp points on the handle that will cause hotspots in use. The handle is also fairly short for large hands. The edge was just okay. I would have given it two stars out of the box.
Still it seemed to have potential.... I sanded the sharp points and edges off the handle scales, rounded the butt a little and finished it with boiled linseed oil. Now it's very user friendly and I find that my thumb rests comfortably on top of the handle scale like a thumb rest grip on a pistol. I forced a patina on the blade with some hot pepper relish and stropped the edge to a shaving edge, which didn't take long at all. Now it's a new knife that looks 100 years old. I haven't skinned a moose with it or batoned it through an engine block or anything but I've been using it in the kitchen and have done some whittling with it. It slices like a laser beam, holds a good edge and I find myself using it quite a bit. This is my new favorite camp cooking knife. I'd easily give it four stars if it came this way. I averaged my two and four star ratings to arrive at a final three stars. If you don't mind putting a little work into it this can be a great knife.

Amazon Customer : Great knife for little $$$.
Liked it so much I bought a second. Quickly becoming my EDC due to weight, strength, size, and sharpness.
Amazon Customer : Knife was as advertized
Handle soaked up linseed oil. I filed the back of the spine to reduce the height of the knife so it would fit in a spare sheath I had. This will be a useful tool.

Juan : Picture vs actual item
Not entirely sure if it was me not reading all the fine prints (read everything entirely before purchasing the knife), item received was not what was described in the picture. Got a fish knife was not looking for a fish knife (wanted a 5 inch I can use when in the woods)

I'm really impressed.I wish someone made a decent pouch type sheath for it.
