Hi Everybody,

I have been making a bunch of WS 1020 sheaths (Thank you everybody)
and making a bunch of neck sheaths for another customer.

In handling the WS 1020, I kept saying how sharp it is first.
Then how light it is.

So since I use .064" kydex for light neck sheaths I though making a light sheath for the WS 1020 would be a good idea.

Normally I use .093" for most sheaths I was curious what the variation would be.

the .064" kydex is not as robust as .093" but it is plenty secure enough and strong enough for a sheath. If you are backpacking where ounces matter then at 1.2 oz for just the sheath and 5.6 oz for the knife and sheath package, that is pretty light.

I thought it was interesting.

Here is what I came up with;

WS sheath comparison.
