I have the same knife. It comes with a leather sheath. DO NOT store it in the leather for any length of time. It will rust.
I wish I had a kydex sheath for it.

Dang, I store mine in the leather sheath.

I'll take it out as soon as I can.
ETA: Page 2 is mine, edit and all!
Also, this thread reminded me that I"ve always wanted to buy a Cheetah XL in white and leather. I just found one after looking everywhere (they are discontinued).

Yeah mine rusted so bad I soaked it in Naval Jelly and then scrubbed it with red scotch brite.
It has some visible pitting but overall looks good.
It didn't take long to rust. It wasn't in the leather more than 2 weeks from the time I opened the box and put it in the sheath.

I noticed that mine has pitting near the tip. I just assumed it was from the time I took it to the beach. I wondered why it would do that since I'm pretty OCD when it comes to cleaning my gear/guns. I guess the sheath really is bad for storage.

I recently got a Wild Pig Hunter too. It and my street scapel 2 are my two fav Tops knives. I'm going to make a kydex sheath for it, but if you want to buy one here is a source : Armorsheaths

Cool thanks for that link.

Tops made a “night” version of the Pig Hunter at one time with black scales and a black kydex sheath but apparently it’s been discontinued.

Changed my mind after pricing everything out and just went with the one I mentioned above.

I added a holster loop to my factory CUT 4.0 sheath. Of course the knife is inside the belt outside the pants worn on the weak side.

I have a friend that works there, and have handled and used many of their knives.

Buy with confidence.

Well made knives, don't think I've ever seen one I thought that looked good, just not my taste.

Really? They have wide assortment of designs and thought they would have something for everyone.

Tops, esee, becker, Lt wright, mora, all good choices.

Haven't bought a new fixed blade in a good while. Last was a cold steel srk which is fine but I prefer my esee 4 and 6

I have the cut 4.0, and I carry almost daily. Very comfortable knife.

I got an aftermarket sheath for mine as well. The one it comes with is decent but I like this a lot better....
