Skinth FAQ

Skinths are made from 1000D PU coated CORDURA® nylon, which has proven itself to be battlefield ready and tested. In most cases, matching industrial coated polyester thread is used. Some models have contrasting colour stitching.

Custom colours can be sourced, but if the wholesaler does not carry the specific colour/pattern, it will have to be ordered online and lead time on production will increase significantly.
Combinations of colours have been done for accent and ease of use, the iterations are literally endless.
Why velcro?
Velcro is self adjusting, easily applied and replaceable. What? replaceable? yes…
Typically on cases and sheaths, the LOOP (soft) side is sewn to the body. The LOOP side is the first to give out even after agressive combing and cleaning. We put the LOOP side on the FLAP of the Skinth so if it does give out, it can be replaced without fear of losing the whole piece. This not only future proofs Skinths, but also shows that its not just your ordinary sheath.
Velcro is also self adjusting to any size tool and closes by itself.
What kind of webbing is used?
All webbing is a high density, high durometer Mil-Spec 17337 nylon webbing. When possible, matching colours will be used, but most often, black will be substituted in.
