I have a question I hope can be answered I have a SOG Seal Pup , I wont go into how much I love this knife ,other than to say I love it , I also carry a Leatherman and I use both of these knives almost daily. Both ar fitted on the same sheath , which is the problem , it is stock sheath for the SOG ,it hasnt held up well , I like the fact that the sheath holds the SOG tight ,but the cheap cloth material on the outside is so worn it just doeant hold up well any longer , I was hoping someone could tell me what/where to buy another one ,a quality one, I not smart enought to make one with leather products or what not?

you might consider having a custom kydex shealth(s) made. there are many folks who offer this service. here's one i came across yesterday (i know nothing about the maker, just sharing the thread link): http://www.jerzeedevil.com/forums/showth...your-order-here

I saw the sheath on the SOG website. It looks like a super-thick nylon. Is that the same sheath you have? Are you saying that material is falling apart on you? http://sogknives.com/store/M37.htmlBy the way, that sheath is very similar to the sheath that comes with the Ka-Bar Becker BK2.

are you saying a sog seal pup knife and a leatherman knife? or are you saying a sog seal pup knife and a leatherman multi-tool? my kydex knife sheath has elongated holes on both side of the sheath. similar to this: kydex sheath i have my leatherman multi-tool in its own nylon sheath attached with velcro bands through the belt loop of the leatherman's sheath, through the elongated holes in the knife sheath, and then secured on the back of the knife sheath. makes for one nice, tight unit.

Jeff can make you anything you want in Kydex or leather. His sheaths are top notch in the Busse community. He has made several sheaths for me in single, double and triple back, awesome work. https://sites.google.com/site/rainwalkercreations/

You might also google "specopsbrand." They make some very high quality nylon/kydex hybrid sheaths, that have the pocket you're looking for.

The sheath on the SOG site is actually nicer , but yes that nylon on the top wears down if you wear the sheath daily as I do! The Leatherman is a multi tool and it fits in the pockect on the sheath, very handy ,because I usa both on a daily basis! A custom Sheath looks like the best idea , I dont really like the nylon as it wears down and the threads get worn and "pulls" loose, I suppose if you dont use it daily it would ok ,but I wear mine daily!

You might try leather, although I wore out the leather sheath on my beloved Buck Pathfinder 105. It did take about thirty years, and I didn't even wear it daily. Maybe kydex?

I have been carrying around a Leatherman Core. I am currently using the original sheath which is now beginning to fail ( there is about a 1cm crack along the bottom edge.
I looked for a replacement sheath from Leatherman but the sheath has been discontinued (replaced by a nylon/leather sheath). I would prefer a leather sheath, perhaps one for a folder (4.5" long). Where can I find a cost effective replacement?
Thanks. Conway Yee
