Why not? Well,because the factory sheath leaves a lot to be desired.
I LOVE my 840 MG Clipper. But it stays in my pack do to the loose fitting crappy sheath. I know there are leather makers and Kydex benders out there who can fix you up. But as I am frugal I wasn't about to spend $20,$25,or $30 on a sheath for a $12 knife.
So I bought myself some Kydex and built my own. Using a beat up toaster oven,couple of boards and a fleece blanket for a press, a hand saw and sandpaper for trimming,a drill,and my pop-rivet gun. (those grommets are a pain to set,so I cheated)
My very first sheath...
Now this light, slicing machine will get some earned carry time.
No professional Kydex bender has anything to fear from me. But I do have a few inexpensive knives around here that will be getting some brand new cheap pants.
