My Home made kydex sheaths

[Bluebs4]

One for a friend for his mark hill s4 type

And one for my fiddleback bush finger

Thanks for looking .

 

[Clouston98]

Not my cuppa, but very well executed! Good job .

 

[crowded-solitude]

Good stuff, they look like nice sturdy sheaths.

How do you make them, do you just heat the stuff up of do you use some big fancy machine?

 

[Bluebs4]

I know not very bushy at all but had to rescue the bush finger fiddleback (01) from a damp leather sheath my own fault but as it's my beater so I knocked this kydex up . The wife's oven is all I used lol then just followed a few threads from british blades

Nice looking job.

Quick question(s) - Is your fiddleback handle Glow-In-The-DarK?

And how much was the Knife?

 

[DuckyD]

Nice work pal

 

[ibeef]

Very Nice, I've always fancied having a play around with kydex myself.

 

[Angst]

yo...just scrolling down...thought i'd let you know you got it right in the second picture....the knife goes in the sheath, not the banana as in pic 3.

Nothing wrong with that - and of course its bushy - its sensible and practical.

Yes, but it isn't over priced and 'traditional'! Get the holy water and we shall cast it back to the hell it was born!


Hehe, just fooling! Looks good dude, can it be done with a heat gun and does it transfer heat nto the steel/handle when warming it up??

Little bit of thread resurrection to ask - where did you source your rivets, chicago screws and Teklok?

 

[Andrew059]

Very nice, where did you source the fastenings from, kydex I can get via eBay but the rest are bit not so easy
Cheers

Being new to this kydex malarkey, can anyone tell me what size of rivets/eyelets I need for joining 2 sheets of 2mm kydex? It is'nt always clear from suppliers sites whether the eyelets dimensions are for the circumference of the hole or the length of the barrel, especially when they use fractions of an inch in combinations.
