This was my very first try at kydex and I am WAY pleased with what I have learned. #1, I molded my revolver first to test the molding foam I got, then redid the knife sheath. Kydex IS very flexible when heated, but you can't get stretches out once they are there. That's why you can see the cylinder outline in my sheath. I call that a learning experience well noted. #2, Make sure the rivet holes are in completely flat areas of the sheath. The spot you see with the chicago screw in it was juust on the edge of the knife impression, and the rivets aren't long enough. #3, If I want to use the belt loops that came with the kit, I will have to drill a quad of holes in the loop. (not pictured) but the double material on teh loop, plus the double thickness of the sheath means the chicago screws that came with it would be too short.
No, I do not ever plan on wearing this around my neck... it was really just to embarass my kids while I cooked breakfast. :highfive:
I do however, plan on resharpening both knives and keeping them in this sheath, inside the drawer. And I did not make the knives... this was kydex practice only...
