Kydex

About the Kydex Sheath: Kydex is well known for its impact, abrasion and corrosion resistance and all weather performance. It is impervious to most chemicals, petroleum based products and moisture, including salt water.

The Kydex sheath is ambidexterous (can be used right or left handed), and the knife is held snugly in place by custom contoured knife cavities and friction bars on the back of the sheath. The sheath also features a heavy duty polypropylene belt loop and securing straps, as well as a slip lock on the belt loop itself. Eight eyelet rivets and for strap slots make for a secure and flexible tie down system, and there is a drain hole on the back of the sheath to prevent water build up.
