Well while my hands are healing from the hand drill I needed to make a sheath for a few knives. I used Kydex as I dont like building leather sheaths that much. I like the looks of leather just not the building. The kydex was very easy and form and went well I think.

Looks good EA. I agree with you on working with leather. I can whip up a concealex or kydex sheath pretty quick and less blood spilled as well. hehehe...
i was amazed how easy it really was.I have made a ferro rod holder and stuff to put on it too.
Looks good EA.
I've yet to try out kydex.
There's a maker in finland that makes leather sheaths with a kydex insert. Best of both worlds.
Very nice job.
I have seen several of those on British blades. They look real good.Quote:

A testament to how easy it is.Quote:

Ty everyone. Its ppl like yall that encourages another to try and present their work and I ty for that.
Nicely done
Looks great. Where do you purchase the sheets of kydex and the rivets?
That looks fantastic. I have an old knife from my dad, one of the old navy Ka-bars. The knife is in good condition but the sheath is messed up. I definitely need to make something like that.
Nice work EA!
Eric - You can buy replacement sheaths for the Ka-Bar in leather if you want it more original.
Doug I bought it at http://www.knifekits.com/vcom/index.php
If you do not have a press already you can make one using 2 pieces of plywood(3/4) and closed cell foam sandwiched between them. I purchased their foam and cut it in half. Glued it to the ply wood with contact cement. I also purchased the hand setter to set the eyelets with. You will need those 2 basic tools. After that you just need to buy a bag of eyelets and your kydex.
I found it to be much more cost efficient to buy the Kydex as I can make 4 sheaths from one sheet of 12 by 12" kydex- 6 bucks a sheet WOW!
I only make two knives currently, both bushcraft knives, so it works well for me.
ty for the interest.
Thanks for the info. I am thinking of making some knives and shealths for my dad, father-in-law and myself. Plus I want to make a few holsters. Should be a fun winter project.Quote:
