I'm going to be spending some time in Alaska and want some ideas for sheaths for some of my knives. I've read alot of discussions on this already, so I am looking for some specifics - I know kydex isn't great in cold weather, leather is better, nylon with some kind of liner is good too, etc.
I have a bunch of scandi type knives I've made, I'm assuming everyone is going to say to make a traditional-ish leather sheath for it. I suck at sheaths, lol. Anyone have a good, simple walkthrough they can point me at to make a simple, easy to do sheath for scandi style knives that will work in really cold weather? I'm going to be doing some big leuku type knives too.
And my main question - I have Fallkniven S1 that I did a custom micarta handle on - I'm wanting to get or make a nylon sheath with a plastic liner of some kind for it for cold weather - any ideas on where I can get one? Or other ideas instead of that if you want to give me some ideas.
