Does Anyone Make a Nylon Pocket Sheath for Folding Knives

I have just recently just learned of the existence of pocket sheaths (aka "slip sheaths", aka "pocket pouches"). I have found some beautiful leather sheaths on several websites, but I am wondering if anyone makes a nylon version. That is, a nylon sheath without a flap that you can just slide your folding knife in and out of.

I am considering nylon for several reasons such as its cost, its ability to dry quickly if wet, its ability to allow the use of the same sheath with several knives, and possibly its ability to be lined in such a way as to limit the sheath's wear on the knife.

The folding knives I would like to carry in a pocket sheath fit snuggly in several of the "flapped" nylon sheaths that I own, so I don't believe having a knife slide out of the sheath will necessarily be a problem.

Thanks!

I don't make them, but I have a few. One thing I'd consider if I were to make one is a design on one of my existing pouches. Nylon can't be molded in any way that I'm aware of. The piggyback that I have on a large sheath has a wide strap of elastic material over the pouch. I can fit a small knife/magnesium flint or large multi-tool in the pouch without much fear of losing anything.

Just a thought in case someone is considering making something similar.
