Why does SOG use Kydex for its sheaths instead of nylon or leather for its tactical knives?
Most of our fixed blades come standard in all-weather Kydex sheaths. This line of patent pending scabbards has been carefully thought out and designed to exceed previous standards. They are jump rated, quiet with minimal rattle, contain rub strips to minimize wear of the knife and its coating, have rigid belt loops for easier one-handed extraction, are ambidextrous, are easier to use, and are military belt certified with a device that fits over the belt and snaps. They also contain weep holes for water drainage.
