What material is good for scabbard?

Common scabbard materials are:

1, leather, which is a very traditional material for making scabbard, is still one of the best choices for scabbard materials at present. Leather can be made into many beautiful things, and one of its main advantages is aesthetic feeling. Leather is a well-known special material, and its appearance, feel and taste are pleasing to the eye. This material has excellent durability, leaving a representative image of a cowboy. Another advantage of the sheath is that it is very quiet when it is pulled out and inserted.

2, Kydex, which is a thermoplastic, can generally be used to make holsters and other items. The biggest advantage of Kydex is its durability-whether immersed in salt water or exposed to different environments, Kydex has excellent retention and durability.

3, nylon, the material is cheaper than the first two materials, but its tools are also easier to wear. At present, researchers are also fully exploring the value of this material to make it have better performance characteristics.

4, plastic, ordinary plastic sheath (not Kydex), its advantage is that the sheath material is the cheapest, of course, the quality is also in line with its price-it is the cheapest. From the production intention, plastic tools are not a good choice for making tools for a long time.
