This is a heavy duty (0.93) scout style kydex sheath for the Benchmade 169 protagonist series knives.
The sheath is an improvement over the nylon sheath that comes stock from Benchmade. It is available in a variety of kydex and leather colors. There is a thumb groove to assist in drawing the knife and a drain hole in the bottom to prevent fluid buildup.
We now offer coated webbing for the scout straps. Your color options are: Matte Black, Shiny Black, OD Green, Tan, Coyote Tan, Safety Orange, Safety Yellow, Toxic Green. Let me know in the order notes which color you'd like if you choose the coated web strap option, otherwise we'll pair it with the sheath color.
As standard, the sheath will be made to fit the drop point protagonist, if you have the tanto, or any other variation, please let us know when ordering so we can make necessary adjustments.
We offer both silver and black snaps. Let us know in the order notes when ordering what color you would like. If you do not note your preference we will give you the snap that bests suits the color of your sheath (black with black, silver with brown etc.)
Customization is available, feel free to contact for info.
*This listing is for the sheath only, no knife is included with purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have any items in Stock, ready to ship?
We now have a section of in stock items! Everything in this section is available, and will ship within 1-2 business days.
Why so expensive?
Our items are all made by hand. We do not mass produce anything, and every item has been designed, tested, and created by us. A lot of time and effort has gone into every item we offer, and we do our best to make sure that everything that leaves our shop lives up to our standards and hopefully yours.
Can you make a sheath for a knife other than the ones offered here?
We only offer a few different sheath options, but we operate out of a large brick & mortar cutlery store, so there's a chance we have the knife you're looking for. Contact us to set up a custom order.
Do your holsters meet IDPA regulations?
All of our belt holsters meet IDPA regulations, but our shoulder holsters do not.
Are your leather sheaths lined with Kydex?
To put in bluntly, if your leather sheath does what it's supposed to do, you shouldn't need to put a different sheath inside of it. Our leather sheaths function very well being made out of leather, and our kydex sheaths work very well without a leather lining.
Does the knife come with the sheath?
No. Each item is for the sheath/scabbard/holster itself, no knives, swords, or guns are included with any purchase.
Design Changes?
We occasionally update/improve the design of some items, so it is possible that the photos on some listings might not be entirely up to date.
