Hello friends:
I'm looking to get a knife sheath and old scubapro knife. The knife is about 4-5 inches. The original sheath was made of plastic and broke over time. I want to sheat to secure the knife well so as to avoid loss.
Thanks
 
which scubapro knife? If it's what I'm thinking - then ditch it and get a line cutter and a basic knife.
 
I don't know the name. I suppose I can take a picture. Currently I dive with titanium dive shears and happy with it. The knife works well for me as on its handle there is a metal piece where I can bang on the tank if I need to get my buddy's attention. Don't do that often at all but maybe a few times/year.
 
Honestly tribolite combined with a broken kitchen knife (seriously) is enough in my opinion. Add a second tribolite if you want (I do).

But you'd need to say what sort of sheath you want really. You could make your own from material. But I am assuming the knife is curved so not so great. Otherwise, contact scubapro for a replacement.

Note - I'm only giving my honest opinion as someone who dives in places where I can and have been stuck. I want form over prettiness. Titanium is very difficult to sharpen and is not ideal in my honest opinion. Although I'm sure others will disagree.

Neat video.
Kydex is quite easy to work with. There are lots of videos and with the use of a simple vacuum, you can get some professional looking results.
