folder sheath for bm520

[Monkeyman113]

I just got a new BM520 and I love it. I'm currently looking for a better way to carry it. Let me just first say that I am not too fond of carrying clips; I much prefer a pouch sheath because 1. the clip doesnt feel that secure to me, and leaves the knife unprotected, and 2. I am very scared of the possibility the knife may open inside my pocket and I may cut myself. So does anyone have any folder sheaths to recommend?

I am currently using the benchmade soft nylon pouch, and while it works great as a pouch to just protect the knife, it is too soft to easily draw the knife out of it when it is on my belt, since it lacks support. Has anyone tried the benchmade snap-buckle pouch, or the new MOLLE compatible pouches?

Haven't tried them.
The 520, however, will DEFINITELY not come loose. In fact, the biggest problem I had with it was the handle & clip gripping so securely that it started to wear out my pants pockets!!

Can anyone compare the 983170 (Snap-Buckle Pouch) http://www.benchmade.com/products/product_detail.aspx?model=981086X

with the 983466 (Black MOLLE Folder Pouch)? http://www.benchmade.com/products/product_detail.aspx?model=983466X

Thanks for your help.

I had been looking for a belt pouch for my Benchmade 805 TSEK for ages.
I recently found this one:

Quality is very good. I think it will fit the 520 nicely.

Thanks for the suggestion Steven. It is almost exactly what I have in mind, except I would prefer no velcro since it is so loud. Is there anything like this pouch with a non-velcro opening mechanism?
