    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.

    Thanks to you and el cid.
    I contacted a Kydex folder local to me. Will see what he can do. Will post results.
    Blade concept and shape are awesome. Steel is a little lame, but as defensive only blade not sure that matters.

    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.

    You don't have to spend $500 to get a good self defense knife and a trainer.

    (I make knives on a 2x72 grinder and a paint can forge I built myself for less than Rat knife.)
    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.

    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
