Leather would be nice, maybe with a kydex laminate for safety when prying. However I think kydex alone might be better for a dedicated user, scratches can be kept to a minimum if the knife and sheath are kept clean, but in truth I'm never very worried too much about a few scratches on a good user. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
True enough. I prefer the safety of kydex for something in my pocket. Accidents do occur, and I want protection from that RC 60+ sharp blade.
