Dave - After seeing pictures of your sheaths, I don't think you have anything to worry about! I have a couple of the Cordura/Kydex liner sheaths, and they are decent enough. However, they don't compare to a good leather sheath matched with a great blade. I'm sure our Yard siblings will send business your way!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom
