Look at River City. My Gryphon M10 came with one of their sheaths and it's been great! Daily carry on and off duty for at least a year now.

If I may be so bold?
I have a pair of Kydex knife sheaths from Dark Star Gear, and found them to be perfect for what I needed them to do. The price and delivery time was also agreeable.
I'm going to snag a Spyderco Reverse from Grant, and will be sending it off to Dark Star for a sheath.
My daughter needs a new knife to protect my granddaughter. :cool:
I think the steel will do pretty well. Spyderco did a Mule sprint run with it, and they sold old fairly rapidly. The steel discussions over on Bladeforums were mostly complimentary also.
And as you mentioned, as a defensive blade it will likely handle bone and leather just fine. In the testing I did with some old leather jackets and roast, CPM-S30V seemed to do the best. But I think CTS BD1 will perform satisfactorily also.
That's all fine and good, but you still need a good sheath if you want to carry any blade as a weapon.
Any of the guys who designed the Bloodshark, Rat, etc. will all tell you that they'd rather have a $10 Mora in a well designed sheath than a $300 custom in a typical factory sheath.
RAT training package ordered, will follow up when it gets here.
FYI - the Rat training package is on sale for $300!!

Thanks, I know, I missed out on the sale when I bought mine.
Maybe I will buy another now.
Ordered mine last night and just came here to post that.
I'm friends with one of the guys that trains with the creator, and kept telling him I could get a decked out Glock for $500 and was getting close to buying the cheapest best alternative, a gryphon, but the price drop made me jump
I've carried the same benchmade afck for twenty years, but know I should carry a fixed blade
