I am having a heck of a time finding anyone that will make a cordura sheath for a knife I'm working on. It's not anything extravegant...7" tanto blade field knife. It would be nice to get someone that will sew a multi-tool pouch on it as well.

Any suggestions???

Thanks,
Nick
 
Strider Knives might, but I think you have to pay a bit for their sheaths.

Always think of your fellow knife makers as partners in the search for the perfect blade, not as people trying to compete with you and your work!

Strider referred me to their sheath maker which is Special Operations Equipment. SOE only makes the cordura outer sheath. You will have to fabricate the kydex liner yourself. The cost for one to fit a 6-7" blade is 50 bucks US. Steep but their workmanship and the features they put into it are incredible. I doubt you would find any better.

Cordura is a extra tough nylon fabric similar to light weight canvas. Cordura is used for quality backbacks, some military gear. Very abrasion resistant and not the cheapest nylon fabric to purchase, its often coated on one side to make it water resistant. Hope that helps some.

Hey Nick...

Why not have a custom synthetic sheathmaker do up a rig for you..??

The benefits of Concealex over Cordura are Huge...

Drop me a note if you are interested..

Thanks guys-

Eric, I actually had you in mind in the first place, but the customer had referenced SOE/Eagle/Blackhawk type sheaths. I'll get in touch.

3/16th's- I emailed them and they told me they wouldn't do a custom sheath, only mass quantities...and I thought the closest one they make is for a 5" blade (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Thanks everyone
