Best sheath ?

[counsel-of-record]

Just got a big survival knife with a 8 inch blade. I want a kydex sheath,(I think), as it seems the most secure. My question is what style or configuration of sheath is the best to carry a big knife such as this one?
Do I want a sheath that straps to your thigh?
One which attaches to your belt around mid-sheath? Do I want a forward cant so the knife handle does not hit my ribs? Strong hand or cross draw?
Lots of choices for such a simple question.....
Thanks
Bill

Normark, aka Eric Noeldechen is the man to see. I am getting ready to order my fourth sheath from him. I am extremely pleased with his work. Eric's website address is www.mnsi.net/~nbtnoel/

UPS just left me a very well made carbon fiber pattern Concealex sheath from Mike Sastre of River City Sheaths. I've used one of his sheaths with a whitewater rescue knife for about 3-4 years with no problems or complaints. You can give him a shout at VideoSAS@aol.com

If you're not quite certain that you indeed want kydex, and wonder about leather, Mr. Graley is your man for that. I think as much clarity as possible as to what your primary use of the knife will be can assist you in making the proper decision as to material.
