I have a Ratmandu CG by Swamp Rat Knife Works. I am looking for a kydex sheath kind of like the Ka-Bar kydex sheath. Any suggestions?

i'd suggest contacting the guys who made your knife, if anyone would know it would be them

I just pulled out my BK7 and BK11 and tested it for you, and NO it doesn't really work. The BK11 is too large for the secondary sheath insert that originally held the little BK? that used to ship for free with the larger BK7 and BK9. The BK11 sheath will slip inside the BK7's pouch, but the pouch flap is then in the way and needs to be tucked somewhere or cut off. IMO this pouch is better reserved for other gear like fire starting supplies and a sharpening stone. I personally think it's better to carry the BK11 around your neck, or in your pocket------------separately from the BK7. The knives serve different purposes, and I don't like to place all my eggs in one basket anyway. Hope this helps. :) W.W.

I was very pleased with the crkt sheath. In my opinion this knife doesn't lend well to other style sheaths and the one that came with the knife is a nice example of the molle compatible nylon sheaths.

Hi Mountainlover, I have a genuine Ka-Bar, Kydex sheath that I use with mine. The knife and sheath fit perfectly as this knife is made to the same specs as a Ka-Bar. I do not own a genuine leather Ka-Bar sheath, however, it should work just fine in my opinion. Enjoy your knife!

Seki City Japan. Using VG-10 steel, FRN handle scales. It's a good quality knife and I did a lot of research before buying it, but at the end I bought it mostly because I loved how it looked. If it were me, I would buy an Ontario Rat Model 2. It looks more simple, but the craftsmanship is way better, zero blade play and built like a rock. And it is half the price. Also look at the Benchmade Mini Griptilian.

I bought this with the zytel sheath, which I like. Very light, very sturdy. I put an extra loop of Velcro around the lock tab on the sheath to make it hold a little better. I figured you could always get a custom sheath later, but I think I'm good with this one. IMHO, not as plasticky as the kydex option.

Sorry, I honestly don't know. Perhaps listing out all the various featured tool options, then check your list af=gainst the various tools?Personally, I prefer ballistic (heavy duty) nylon pouches or sheaths anyway--at least in a damp climate.

If you're looking for a nice leather sheath, check out patriot leather company. I bought a "Colonial" from them, fits my bushcrafter like a dream.

It is a hard plastic sheath, known as kydex. Hope this helps, also before you buy, check out the Cold steel SRK. Better knife in my opinion. Good luck

The easiest way to go is with a Spec Ops, which will also give you a nice 4 inch pouch for shapener, ferro, and a few small survival tins. A custom kydex sheath is cheap if you do it yourself and have already invested in the rivit tool, heat gun and bag of rivets. Otherwise, just go with the short SpecOps.

Yes the sheath it comes with okay and will last you until you can buy a better one. I personally spend another 45$ plus shipping on a custom taco sheath that has a metal clip for my belt.look on google for custom kydex sheaths when you get exta cash. But the knife is AMAZING. And i plan on keeping mine for ever. Its always worn on my side every day

No it wont. The sheath is actually pretty awful. Its a kydex style that has rivets you can thread paracord through to lash it to your gear. Its also very wide. The only good thing to say about it is the retention is good. The BK14 isnt a very good survival knife either in my opinion. A little bit too small for bushcraft work. Also the steel is prone to rusting. So you would want to oil it up real good before storage. And since you're looking to put it inside a nalgene, thats not really ideal.

There are several custom kydex sheath makers online that will manufacture a sheath for this knife. The sheath may be close to the price of the knife itself though. There are several you tube videos on making your own kydex or pvc knife sheaths. Google both these for more info.

Im not a 100%. I gotta bet there close tho, im sure ur looking for a bolt on. What i can say is ive seen costum kydex sheaths made to fit and work as a piggy backer. If i may say so, im a big fan of ranger bands or if not try 550 cord its always neat and is vary useful.

Chris, I don't own a tek lock to be able to answer this question for sure. But the holes in the existing kydex sheath on this knife are drilled at wider locations as the blade gets wider, they are not in a square if you can understand what I mean. So I don't think that's going to work unless I don't understand correctly how the tek lock works.

I like the rat 1, great blade, get satin blade the black is paint & doesn't wear well . The handle is strong & comfortable .Razor sharp out of the box & I prefer the drop pt. blade shape. Kershaw knives are well made & sharp but I would choose the Rat.
