Sheath maker

[othello32]

I'm looking for a maker to produce a sheath for my NWA 4" knife. I'd like a sheath which combines nylon and kydex, similar to the Dozier or ESEE (RAT) or early Laconico sheaths, as well as a firesteel loop.

I love the leather from Nick, but want something which can also attach to Molle equip, like my Kifaru tailgunner, etc.

Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Steelnut does great work. I have a bunch from him with Molle-LOKs.

Semper Paratus is the only one I know of doing kydex and nylon custom sheaths:thumbup:
Very nice solid work:

Heber Ellsworth - wildmanh on the forums is making a custom sheath for my customized BK2. While just leather the piggyback straps will allow it to be attached to molle webbing. It also has a removeable belt loop that will have a removeable D-ring and dangler. I can attach it to molle, or mount it horizontally or vertically on my belt or mount it so it hangs lower on my thigh with the dangler. He is also making a removeable pouch and firesteel loop that will attach to the piggyback straps, the pouch will be big enough to hold an Altoids sized tin. He just sent me some teaser pics there is more work to be done but it is looking awesome so far. He is very reasonable with his prices as well.

Oops just reread your post and thought you said kydex and leather, now I see it says nylon and kydex. Sorry.

Sullivan's leather Orlando FL but you said you did not want leather, I would look at spec ops they have nice sheaths

It depends on your definition of "nylon and kydex". If you want nylon with a kydex insert, there aren't many options, but if you want a kydex sheath strapped onto a nylon backing, or a kydex sheath with a nylon drop loop, there are many options, including Steelnut.

I'm really looking for a kydex sheath with a nylon drop loop (similar to ESEE) sheaths for my NWA knife. I really like some of the Swinkel sheaths. Any other recommendations?
