Question: Replacement knife sheath

[pudly]

I'm not a serious knife guy, so hopefully some of you can point me in the right direction. I have a fixed blade Buck knife that only came with a cardboard sheath and I'm not impressed with the basic leather sheath that Buck offers. I carry a folder and don't really want to carry this new one on a regular basis. However, I would like to keep it in my go bag and would like a better sheath. Are there 3rd party producers of sheathes or should I look into doing my own kydex work? One factor is that I don't expect to be doing additional kydex work so needing any specialized tools might justify simply buying retail. Thanks.

If you are interested in custom leather, I might be able to help you out.

PM me if you are.

Spec Ops makes some pretty nice generic sheaths for under $ 50 and you can fit the kydex liner.
Have you contacted Buck for a sheath?
If it was me I'd have a leather sheath made. I think Bucks look better with leather.

amhenry and Slow Hand both work in kydex and I'm sure could hook you up.

Depending on your location, this might be of interest.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'll be checking them out.

This is the only option Buck offers: no belt loop or retention strap.

Maybe I am mistaken, and you can't see it on the picture from that angle, but I think there is a belt loop built into the back side of that sheath.

I bought a sheath for my Swamp Rat Rodent 6.
Rodent 6 - Swamp Rat Knife Works Store

I used the existing grommets to install a Blade-Tech Tek Lok.

It rode a little too high on my belt so I added a "Universal Extension".

It works great now on my belt or on my backpack.
