Impact durability is a severe problem with the TUSK sheath as Kydex is easily fractured when cold, the leather wrapped khukuri scabbards on the khukuris are much more resistant to this type of damage and the plain leather Uluchet sheath pretty much ignores impacts.
The G10-like grip on the TUSK is easily the most durable, It can be hammered with and on with no problems and is very cut resistant and is electrically and thermally isolated from the blade.
The TUSK excelled on the lighter chopping, with greater penetration due to the thinner profile.

 Exit Poll: Tusk Leads Election in Poland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
An exit poll by state television indicated that Donald Tusk, a pro-business candidate committed to stimulating entrepreneurship with low taxes and deregulation, was leading Lech Kaczynski, a former child actor hoping to preserve a strong safety net and Roman Catholic values in the homeland of the late Pope John Paul II.
Both Tusk and Kaczynski have their political roots in the anti-communist Solidarity movement of the 1980s and have pledged to fight corruption and the continued influence in politics of former communists.
Though 12 candidates were in the running, opinion polls showed only Tusk or Kaczynski with a shot at victory, meaning the outcome was certain to reinforce the decline of the former communists, who were soundly defeated in parliamentary elections two weeks earlier.
