I have been watching a few threads on "Survival Sheaths", Nylon/Cloth type sheaths with Kydex inserts. While I usually take a Kydex sheath outdoors (lower profile) I do love these survival type sheaths.

I have sheaths from the below folks and really like them!

Ka-Bar Eagle: https://www.kabar.com/product_detail.jsp?productNumber=8016&mode=category&categoryId=4&categoryName=Accessories
TOPS Sheaths: http://www.topsknives.com/index.php?cPath=9&osCsid=382e16576cdd74e307db9290d078f1f0

Below are some others I found during web searching. I have never tried them but am curious if anyone has ever had any experience with these brands?

Survival Sheath Systems: http://www.survivalsheath.com/sheaths/index.htm

Also, just to see, does anyone know of other folks that make these Nylon w/ Kydex Insert style sheaths?

Happy Holidays!
 
I have a Gerber Silver Trident that came standard with a Blackhawk sheath. Very nice construction.
 
One of the reasons I was investigating these alternate Survival Sheath makers was trying to find one that was the right size for a Becker Brute (9-1/2" long, 1/4" Thick, and about 1-7/8" Wide).

As far as I see, the only option currently is a 12" TOPS sheath but that would be a tad to long :(

I did email "Tactical Tools" on a 10" sheath....
They are normally 6/7/8" in length but I have a few larger. Will check my stock today and let you know.

No response as of yet (email on 21-Dec-2006).

I recently saw a pre-Blackjack 9-1/2" MachAx on sale on ebay with an "original nylon/kydex sheath by John Carver at Eagle Industries". I found their website but they do not seem to sell fixed blade sheaths these days, but I emailed them anyway. No response (email sent on 03-Dec-2006).

FINALLY FOUND ONE! :D

I received my custom knife from Ranger Knives today! I also purchased one of the Nylon w/ Kydex sheaths for the Ranger RD9 since this knife's dimensions seemed close to the Becker Brute. :thumbup:

PERFECT FIT!!!!!!!!!! :D
 
Glad you found it. I was going to tell you. The Becker BK-9 also fits in the Ranger RD-9 sheath. Now, if only I can find one to fit a Collins #18 Bowie.
