first time buyer, sheath question - 11/14/08 02:41 AM

just ordered the SOD and was wondering if there is an off the shelf sheath you guys can recommend, or do i have to get one custom made. i am aware of the rainwalker fellow but i wanted to know what other options there are. thanks.

Welcome to the Scrapyard!!

Depends on what you are looking for. The nylon sheaths from Scrapyard are decent. I have 6 or 7 of them. Spec Ops makes a higher end version of it as well. There are several kydex benders on the forum as well.

Ted took it here. The simple nylon or kydex from the store works well but I would highly recommend a Spec-Ops brand sheath. Combat or Survival are my two choices.

i see the kydex and nylon sheaths offered are for the larger dog father knife. perhapse too big for the smaller SOD ?

Welcome to the Yard, sean373. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

There are a few options available, although until we actually the SOD there is a little guess work involved for now... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I just received a Spec-Ops that someone ordered and had sent to me for modification to the SOD once I get mine. It looks like the Spec-Ops will probably work fairly well but I'm pretty sure the liner will need to be modified a bit, or replaced with a more suitable liner.

Like Ted said there's several sheath makers that'll be happy to help you out too.

There's David Brown, LeatherHog, LeatherFace, myself and a few others.

And then there's Andy's famous cardboard and duct tape tutorial... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
