I need to change to a different belt clip on my Esee 5 or sheaths all together. My 5 is my workhorse at takes a lot of abuse, so does the sheath.
So how do to 2 compare in hard abuse situations.

I really like the kydex sheath especially for hard use. I hate getting leather knife sheaths wet. Seems to me that they stay damp for a long time and then I worry about rust on the blade.
Might checkout Eli at Godspeed Tactical if you go the kydex route.
might also check out grunt soldier. we make some killer kydex for any blade also and have some of the absolute best prices out there
on to the question both are great but if it will be wet and in the mud/dirt alot I say kydex. it's easy to clean and very durable.
However if you want some great leather check out Dakruiser on here and he will make you some very tough and awesome leather.
