My thoughts on Kydex

First as many of you know, not all sheaths are functional.

Proper planning for intended use is where I start for our sheaths (And that is not easy to accomplish if you want versatility). We are finding that making a multi funtional sheath is no easy chore.

So give these questons some thought......

What do you want to attach to? (Pack, belt, Molle/ PALS, a combination, etc...)

What orientation? (R/Hand or L/Hand; Vertical / Horizontal / complex angle)

What type of retention do you want? (2' drop, one hand draw, secondary retention)

What hardware is available?

What is your target cost?

I would be interested in what are the basic needs that you guys want for a field / combat knife.
