Which do you prefer?

Which do you prefer? - 03/22/14 10:17 PM

For Res-C knives, which do you prefer?
For materials from nature, which do you prefer?

I am indifferent to be honest. I like the kydex for the stiffness, and how it weathers. I like leather because it feels good, bends, and is a natural strop in a pinch.

Lets hear it.

Depends what Im doing. Everyday carry? Leather. Camping or hiking with a good chance of getting wet? Kydex or cordura.

I know that Kydex has it's advantages, but personally I like leather the best.

I prefer leather, but I have a couple of kydex sheaths that are pretty nice as well. wink

Cordura. The usually have a little pocket for stuff to be put in. However the greatest sheaths ever are the ones rainwalker made for DT. His pictues of them should be a sticky at the top of the page.

I like them both. It depends of the intended use, or it might depend of my mood... Good materials if used and crafted propely.

The most important thing with either one is taking a little time for care and maintenance. Leather can take a little more TLC, but if they're kept clean and dry they can last a life time.
