Kydex vs. Nylon

[oteyj]

I recently recieved my first SOG knife (Seal Pup). I am extremely pleased with its performance but I am wondering if the nylon sheath that SOG makes will suit me better. My intended uses are outdoor related (hunting, camping, etc.)

Pros and cons will be appreciated

First off welcome to the Forum!!! Stay and chat, we're friendly here!

Personally, I prefer the nylon. It is well made, really suits the knife, and the pouch will hold a multi-tool (in my case PowerLock). It can also hold a small survival kit...

But it is a personal preference YMMV...

First of all, thank you for your imput. Second, I know that SOG makes a nylon sheath just fot the Seal Pup, but do you know of any after after-purchase sheath sales? (preferably on the internet)

I have a SEAL Pup as well and initially thought about getting the nylon sheath, but I have become impressed with kydex sheath. IT is actually a work of art. The front and back are of different thicknesses, and amazingly formed.

I don't know them, but do a search (aftermarket sheaths), and you should come up with several.
