The kydex sheath that Architect makes is the best kydex choice in my opinion. It has great retention, adjustable tension, lots of grommets to insure it stays secure, endless option for carry due to the various holes and slits. And there dirt cheap.

Don’t know why you would want anything else Architect 5.5 rides perfect in the front right With an ulti clip something else I learned the CPM 3V from Tops is actually quite a bit lighter than the white river s35vn The blade profiles are a little different even though they’re both 5.5 architect never would’ve thought it would fit in my front pocket like that so nicely
