AFF and BadnArder, both your points are valid and I am not really knocking kydex just showing MY personal favorite. I have leather and kydex for some of my knives, for different purposes. Kydex if it's a grab, shove into your belt and go and if it will get banged around some. For comfort and ease of carry (for me and my fat gut) leather. Oh and looks too.
