SYKCO Dogfather Kydex Sheath - 04/24/10 03:26 PM

Whats up guys, I finally have a Dogfather coming my way and I dont have much $ to spend on a sheath. So I was going to get the 10" Cordura sheath but im a fan of kydex...has anyone owned the Dogfather kydex sheath in the company store & if so how do you like it?..or should I just get the cordura.
Thanks guys <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

That being said,I would wait and get a leather sheath. But if there is no foreseeable future for leather the Cordura has a liner and looks great! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Go with the Nylon outsides just because it looks so much better than raw black Kydex. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Then again....there are colored Kydex DF sheath makers out here too! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

LGM,I guess taste is your real concern,follow your heart. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Peace.

if your limited the cordura is fine. SY has some good ones that fit nice and are functional, but I personally haven't had the same results with their kydex <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

besides most of our great custom sheath makers don't charge a lot for kydex, ask them and compare <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

A plus for the cordura from the store is the pouch,it will hold a multi tool/sak,small sharpener,fire steel,flash light etc etc.

Although from what I've seen, ( and I will KNOW) in a few more months , you can't go wrong with Rainwalkers leather.

yep, it may take a little time, but the end results are well worth it, from rainwalker

I have both the factory kydex and the cordura sheaths. The cordura is better quality and has a pocket. The kydex works, it isn't the prettiest but it works for the way I use that knife. The fit and retention is decent compared to the smaller factory kydex, where I can barley get the knife out. Though if you want kydex I would recommend aftermarket, I like buy brown but every one has a favorite.

going on four months for my leather sheath for my bird dog from jeff, but i told him now rush and i knew ahead of time he was swamped with orders. but he does do great work, which more than makes up for the wait.
