the cheapest zippered, padded cases are from Smokey Mtn knifeworks
they have some that will fit a BIG BIG Bowie for $4-7$
Yeah, I have seen them and they suck so bad it boggles the mind.
Cases like that are fine for transport, but they are not made for storage.
-Bill's cases breathe, I don't know how else to state that.
-The foam he uses does not collect or give off moisture.
-The synthetic shearling lining holds the knife in place, without scratching.
-The "Custom" part of Bill's Cases, you get EXACTLY the size you need.
-The way that Bill does his elastic straps totally works for me. Without the straps I would have lost many sheaths a long time ago.
If you guys think that the Cordura is expensive, wait until you move up to pig suede. About 35% more $$, but the most elegant case for higher end knives.
If you want cases for mid-level production knives, use whatever you want.
For me, there is no other case I am even interested in for custom knives. Black is the only color I buy my cases in, and Bill's cases are a great "deal sweetener" or can be sold as stand alones if you do not feel like selling the knife with the case. Try selling those vinyl units.:barf: I can't even give those away.

. I was able to find a zippered pouch for my Buck custom, but haven't been able to find any for my higher end productions, and my few customs. Anybody to check out?
Look for the guy hanging with the other bali guys
