looking for a better Vic Spirit sheath

[shootist]

I have a spirit s on the way.  I have heard complaints about the sheaths, specifically the velcro closure.  Anything better available?  Something with a snap or "better" velcro?  Nothing too bulky though please.

I personally like the velcro case mine came with; well made, tough and functional.
let us know what you think when you get it

Same here, I think it's a great sheath. 

Welcome.

I will agree with that also.  The standard Vinyl/Nylon sheath that came with mine has proven to be quite durable.

Welcome to the forum mate

And stick with the sheath it comes with at it really is a good bit of kit

It's a good sheath. Trust us.

Otherwise, mod a pocket clip on it and you're good to go. GOOD TO GO.

Kydex!   I just completed a Kydex duo holster for my Vic Cybertool 34 and my Jetbeam Jet-II Pro. What's nice with Kydex is it's a press-fit that stays that way for a loooooong time, if not forever, or until a very high heat (340º+) source is near to it.  No snaps or Velcro needed. If you don't want Kydex than Victorinox offers some very nice sheaths. Have you looked on their site yet?

Got my Spirit S today.  The quality of the tool is everything I expected.  I carry a Swisstool on my duty belt.

The leather sheath is nice, except the velcro doesn't inspire any confidence.  A snap would have been much better.  I would like a decent leather sheath with a snap or some velcro that is more mil-spec.

I dont particularly care for kydex, although I know it works very well.

Someone recommended this case:

May be a little cumbersome for the tool, but otherwise looks good.

wow that´s a lot of velcro in my opinion but the sheath looks very nicely done anyway. I understand what you mean about the velcro in the Vic sheath, a friend of mine has a SwissTool and after some time of good use the velcro doesn´t work anymore.

I'm not über fond of the Spirit pouches either. I either use a molle compatible mag pouch , or a leather pouch of my  own devising. Ditto for the swisstool. Blackhawk and Maxpedition also make good pouches , TAD stuff is uniformly excellent.

Original SOE Gear makes a MT pouch that works great for my needs.
