Argh!! I am so weak that it is not even funny. Just got done E-mailing Allen and ordered another knife.
would allen sell you a knife without a sheath? wood handles and kydex is just WRONG. I can understand why he does it but I'd rather make a new sheath.
Personally, a few weeks ago I would have agreed with you Andy but now I am not so sure.
Kydex as a sheath material is rot proof, will not easily become a hoist to germs, will be more resitant to damage and stretching ect ect - it doesnt have the asthetics of leather but in the long run I think it might just pip leather at the post.
As for wooden scales going with leather - the Runt in its sheath looks ok to me but it you really dont like it why not use the kydex as a liner and stitch a leather sheath over it!! ?? That what I did with my first Mora classic.

I Know kydex may be better. I fancy a wood sheath but that runs into problems.
I don't mind the sheath for the mora. it doesn't seem to take as much force to put the knfe back in as other knives with plastic sheaths. The mora classic has a plasic sheath but doesn't have the problem either
