inexpensive sheath

Hey Everyone,
Looks like I found a Dogfather on BF and of course it doesn't have a sheath.
I'm looking right now for a decent nylon style sheath that's inexpensive till I can either make or have a kydex one made.
The ones at Spec Ops only fit blades up to 8 inches.
Any suggestions?

Well scrapyard offers a kydex one thats pretty easy on the wallet. Im not to sure about nylon, ive never used nylon sheathes mself.

you can find some kydex ones on ebay for like 25 bucks

Pick up one from the Scrap Yard Store for $19.95. I have the smaller one and it's top notch.

Good score on the DF.

yes for "nylon" I'd suggest the Scrapyard one they offer, works great and has a pouch.

Yep..the Nylon one from the Yard is, imo, much better than the Kydex one that Yard has offered.

Also...they guy selling the sheaths on ebay for 25 bucks..just a heads up that he doesn't space the holes up so that you can add a tek lok, at least he doesn't on the S5LE sheaths. The one I got from him is otherwise well constructed..

Well... DUH! Thanks Guys! I didn't even think of looking at the company store to see what they had! Working long hours at night has fried my brain cells!
Don't know what i'd do without everyone here!
Thanks!!

Keep a lot more money in your wallet??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

LOL, now isn't that the truth !

I recently got the nylon DF sheath from the Yard. It has a synthetic insert and a large pouch on the outside. I am thinking that a mlti-tool would be great in the poch. I could not be happier with the sheath--and it stays to the price/performance motto.

For the record-

Here is the "Small" version of the Scrap Yard Nylon Sheath. It's supposedly for 6" knives, but it fits the SOD and Yard Hook pretty darn well.

The 10" version will of course be bigger <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Ain't that the truth!!

speaking of keeping a lot more money in my wallet... I'm gonna be in big trouble after the first of the year when I start to work offshore!!

The one I got on ebay from that guy for $25.00 takes a tek-lok no problem.

I have the nylon one sold on here for my dogfather and its an excellent sheath for the money.

Didn't Andy or someone make one out of duct tape? Doesn't get cheaper than that! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

ABS is fairly cheap if you can find one. Of course they are slightly thicker than the Kydex pants.

I heard some guys on bladeforums making some sheaths from PVC pipe.

I'd go with the duct tape sheath. I just watched the Mythbusters make a cannon and a sailboat out of it so a sheath should work out pretty well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Well of course duct tape, it fixes everything! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I did buy a Scrapyard nylon sheath too. It's inexpensive, but not cheap!

LOL, Hart, I'm afraid duct tape is only a band-aid on that crack.

More than one! Why, my sheaths are on 3 continents. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />



The how-to is on my sig link.

Those don't look too bad Andy.

I have several knives I don't have sheaths for.

It works! My RatMastiff was my first, and I'm STILL using that sheath for it.

Andy-
Do you ever cut through the tape?

Woops!

I should have posted this pic in the outdoors and fieldcraft section! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

No. They have a cardboard welt. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

No duct tape for me! I'll get a Scrapyard sheath for it.

Has anyone tried fitting a tankbuster in the 6" scrapyard sheath? It looks like it might be a perfect fit. For $20 I might just have to give it a try.

Does the Scrapyard nylon sheath have MOLLE attachments on the back? I have my first Scrapyard knife, a Desert Dogfather, on the way soon and Im looking for a way to put it on my pack.

maybe it's just me but the SY sheaths never worked out for me. It's worth it to save a little money up and have Jeff or David whip something up for you. I know there are others out there as well, but those are the ones i have experience with.

I have both the 10" and 6" and they both have the MOLLE attachement on the back.

Thanks banana-clip for the pictures. Just what I was looking for.

The Scrap Yard Nylons are hard to beat, all things considered. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I agree with Jeff - they are decent sheaths for the money. Although I prefer to make my own sheaths, if I was going to carry my knife on a pack I would choose one of SY's sheaths. The pouch is a nice plus as well! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
