For negligable price difference I can get

Kydex sheath
Leather Flap sheath
Leather Open Top sheath
 
As far as i know, the kydex sheat is discontinued. There is a zytel sheat instead, which is cheaper, more durable, and more slim. I like it. The other one i like is the open top sheat, which is low dangling, so it's not in the way of the backpacks waist belt, and when you sit down. I have the open top leather, but it shows it's wear now, so i will get a zytel one soon. Not as nice as the leather, but it's a user knife, have to be practical first.
 
I like the custom kydex sheath with a firesteel loop that I got on the forum from normark, it's awesome fits like a glove and he is a great guy to deal with.
 
I prefer the open top--very handy, very comfortable. Easy to put in and take out.
 
I've been very impressed with the Zytel sheath that my S1 came with. Its slim and holds the knife quite securely.
 
The Zytel sheaths are very functional, but I must say....I hate them. I don't know why, but they are not my thing. I like a good knife in Leather!! :)
 
I like the Kydex. As someone already mentionned it's discontinued.
Normark makes nice custom kydex sheets.
 
Normark's sheath for my F1 is a perfect match, a classic for a classic. The factory sheaths are OK, but only OK. You won't be disappointed.
