Kydex sheaths

[Richard Layton]

Hi folks

I need a kydex sheath making for my Blackjack Grunt. Any ideas who could do this for me and how much it's likely to cost?

Cheers
Rich

I don't think Shing does Kydex

motorbikeman did but he's not on the forum at the moment and lost his workshop, mojofilter might be able to help. I know Espy does or did kydex as well

 

[ESpy]

Does, but is somewhat bogged down in commissions at the moment

I do Kydex Andy but the waiting list is very long I'm afraid. Try P S Bond on BB

Espy = PS Bond

What kind of sheath were you looking for?
Would you be happy with 0.060" thick kydex?
What kind of carry system did you want?

Your best bet would be to try Britishblades.com, however the three people that came to my mind have been mentioned and it sounds like they aren't really available right now.

I can do kydex, but I have a couple of knife commisions sitting and eyeing me accusingly from the work bench, so I couldn't guarantee exactly when it would be done. I also don't know what the going rate is in the UK for kydex work. In the US a Grunt sheath is probably between $25 and $50, against which you have the fact that many people here sell themselves cheap, but the material and fittings have to be imported. I would reckon on one being about £20 here, but that is just a guess.

Have a look on BB, put down some more specifics, you never know, someone might jump forward

Richard...I have made over 300 sheaths in Kydex...
If you have no joy, I will post an A4 piece to you and you can make your own?
Instructions are all over the web...

Thanks for the help chaps. I have e-mailed Blackjack about it.

It's a lovely knife but the leather sheath is crap and cut through pretty much as soon as I started using it, I may make one out of leather for it but I have knives with Kydex and it's just so practical.

I will be in touch!
