Kydex Sheath Question

[aj1985]

Hey Guys how are yah

I'm sorry i haven't posted in a while but just finished exams and have started work. I work in a logistics warehouse doing Shipping & recieving. I use my knife atleast 30-40 times a day and honestly am getting very irritated. The reason I am not happy is the time it takes me to reach for my knife, and the time it takes for to use and then put it back in my pocket is very bothersome. The knife is pretty uncomfortable as well while carrrying within my jean pockets as well.

First of all i would like to either make a kydex sheath or buy one cheap. The question is would a kydex sheath be okay for a blade such as this.

take care and i appreciate the help

A kydex sheath would work, but you would have to make one or have one made to fit this particular knife. Kydex holds knives by friction, so it must fit closely and somewhat tightly.

You might be better off making a simple belt sheath for this tool, maybe a horizontal one made to be worn right in front for eaxy access.

I carry my little EDC in a leather belt sheath, horizontal in front all day long and it is very comfortable and unobtrusive.
