I'm just finishing up my last custom job while I'm on vacation. Unfortunately, I won't have the time or materials to make a sheath for it. My customer is okay with this, as I told him I'd get him in touch with a commercial sheath maker. Now I just have to find him one. Never having outsourced for my sheaths before, I haven't had any experience with any of the production or semi-custom sheaths that are out there.
The best lead I have so far is the Spec Ops Brand sheaths. Does anyone have any experience with these products? Are there any other places I should be looking?

Thanks,

Chris

p.s. I'll post a picture of the knife in a little while
 
The batteries just crapped out on my camera, so you'll have to make due with this horrible picture.
It's for an airforce combat commander. 8.75" overall, 4.5" blade, 3/32" 154cm.

Chris, even though this pic is blurred it still looks better than your kukhuris in the ugly contest.:D

The only sheath maker (kydex) I know of is in Ontario, Canada. A good distance from you. Some guys on this forum told me about him and I have recently made contact with him, he seems like a nice guy.
Eric Noeldechen, he also makes sheaths for soldiers.

There is probably someone closer to you but here is his e-mail.

I'll second Eric with On Scene Tactical. He has made a number of kydex sheaths for me and they were excellent. His sheaths have a distinctive style to them and fit very well. Good guy to work with as well. Best bet is to contact him for pricing and to see how busy he is. He sometimes has an insanely busy schedule.

Here is his website, email address is on it: http://www.mnsi.net/~nbtnoel/
