Kydex thickness for sheaths

[Vonderek]

I am going to attempt to make a couple of kydex sheaths for some medium sized fixed blade knives (6"-7" length of blade). Does anyone have a recommendation for what thickness kydex I should order? Thanks.

0.080" is fine for that kind of thing.

0.060" will probably seem a little too light for that big a knife and 0.090"+ starts getting needlessly cumbersome.

Thank you Sam.
