18 inch machete sheath

[Wlanderson105]

I recently bought an Ontario 18 inch military machete. The machete did not come with a sheath so I've been browsing the Internet looking for a hard plastic or kydex sheath and I just can't seem to find one that has received good reviews. I've thought about trying to make one but have no experience in sheath making. Can anyone offer any tips?

Most of the time machetes come with nylon, leather or some sort of fabric sheaths. I know the ontario branded ones dont. For making a sheath, search DIY kydex on a search engine or on this forum. It'll cost you some money to start your own kydex project or somewhere around $40 for someone to make it. I prefer to make my own, but thats just me.

Apparently Voodoo Tactical makes some for that size range that seem to work.

I make a universal machete sheath and a machete specific sheath.... the universal will fit a bunch of machetes from different makers. I've also started making specific machete sheaths for the ESEE-Lite Machete but I haven't gotten to the Ontario yet... it's next.
