I was tempted to get the leather over kydex, but it would be out of place with all my other gear, except the leather belt I wear down range that I use for stropping.

I gave him pretty specific guidance too. I requested a kydex sheath with eyelets on both sides of the blade so I can secure and keep it from flapping around should I lash it to something besides my MOLLE loops. Obviously I also asked for MOLLE compatibility both on the belt loop and the lowest part of the sheath back; a pocket to fit two DMT Mini-Sharps. Too go with the "snap-in" top of the kydex, I also ask for a strap with a button holding it in crossing from left to right so I can quickly deploy the knife with a flick of my right hand thumb.
