I ordered this belt in red back in 2017 and have worn it as a day belt and hiking belt for 3 years and it's great. I ordered black in May. exclusively for carrying a camping knife. The belt is shorter and the material is much cheaper and thinner. I've worn it just as a belt a couple of times and give it a thumbs down. I realize they have switched the material to a lower quality material in the last three years. It's a shame because the buckle is great.
