How could a Knife sheath be better

[mellowzz]

Regarding a project research for knife sheath design, i wanted to ask the people who use/carry knife daily or for military combat purposes; what kind of problems do you guys face while carrying knives or while drawing or sheathing them. What features would you want for your knife sheath which are not available in the existing designs.

So you've come to get ideas for your product research? Do you have any credentials or background?

I have always thought a sheath that holds a folding knife open like a fixed blade would be cool.

Then I could get a folder that pulls out as fast as a fixed blade. Or be able to attach it to webbing.

But I could also just fold the thing up and put it in my pocket if I wanted.

I could then just have one knife.

But I am also about the only person who thinks this is a good idea.

The ability to clean inside the sheath, Ive seen a few, screw together kydex designs, some Mora sheaths arent bad...but try getting gunk or grit out if a tight kydex or leather sheath
