Looking for sheath for Camillus/Ka-Bar

[erik the red]

Hey all,

I'm looking for a good replacement sheath for my Camillus Marine Combat Knife. (7 inch). I REALLY like this one http://www.hedgehogleatherworks.com/Leather-Sheath-for-the-Ka-Bar-Classic-Combat-Knife-p/h-ap.htm with both a pocket and a firesteel. However, while I appreciate the quality of these handmade sheaths, I don't want to pay $250 for a sheath. Are there any suggestions for something comparable, but much cheaper? Or should I focus on picking up a sheath and modding it with Ranger Bands to outfit it with a quasi-emergency kit. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I would suggest you look here.

I believe you'll find what you need at a more affordable price.

Those are kewl. Do you have to get ahold of them for pricing?

Anybody have experience with the Eagle nylon sheath, or something made of cordura like it? I am looking for something with at least 1 pocket for a stone/firesteel and a quick release for an attachment, rather than having to undo the belt to take it off.

Try http://www.specopsbrand.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=27#

The attachment loops unsnap at the bottom, so you can remove it without taking off your belt.

Kewl, thank you very much. I'll look into that one. :thumbup:

I'll second the Spec Ops sheaths, I have three and they are a great bang for the buck.
