People don't appreciate how hard it is to make a cardboard/tape sheath until they try it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I still have an old survival style knife from 1986 sitting in a sheath made from outdoor carpeting and about a million layers of crusty duct tape from the same period. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

You have got to be happy with those. I'm still not tired of seeing them. Perfect pants for those blades. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I will most likely send my S5 off to Eric at OnSceneTactical here in Canada, to have Concealex sheaths made up. I will drop hime a note and get him to make an extra for his templates.

I like kydex because of the low maintenance and all of the other benefits. Kind of like my Glocks.

I like kydex a lot for coated blades. It's compact, light, and retains well. On the other hand, kydex can scratch blades, is less comfortable to carry than leather, and is noisier. I find myself liking both for different reasons, and not really developing a strong preference for either.
