How to Make a Kydex Knife Sheath

Rivit rivit

You might think about investing in a simple deburring tool, that would help you with the edges of the plastic

I appreciate you guys that spend time teaching and go over every little step. You and Red Beard ops are my favorite channels.

Nice 👍

Have you had any luck making a kydex sheath for a pocket knife?

Thank you for your work man 🤙

I've always made my own holsters for both my carry weapons, and knives. But I've suffered a stroke so I'm not able to do it anymore. Any chance I could send you this knife I received for Father's day (flissa fixed ) ? And have you make one. I can't believe I can't find a single person in my area (Baltimore) to make me one lol

Hi! I am French I do not understand all the American. I started the kydex cases 2 days ago. on some cases I have retention problems, and I have the impression that the kydex ''is not well pressed, badly molded''. is it due to the 2mm thickness? and I have the impression that the kydex sheath scratches the blades a little, what is this due to? Thank you for your answer

Great video, I appreciate you're willingness to share the information

Great video - it was very informational for me as someone just thinking about making some sheaths for my knives. I visited your website and think you use G10 for the handle scales. Do you have any experience with micarta scales? I'm curious to know if the ~300*F temperature will adversely affect the micarta material in any way. Thanks for the video and any tips you may have.

😍😍😍

Hello Mr Gough, I am looking to make my own kydex press. Before I start designing something, may I ask how you secured the foam to the press? is it just stuck on with adhesive or is there a benefit to securing it with some type of hardware? thanks

Thank you. May I know where to buy the plastic used in making the sheath?

Awesome!!!!

Great video! Thank you!

turns out good quality leather is cheaper 🤷

Where do you get your supplies ?

It’s that easy… great video

Painters tape instead of masking? Or will that melt? Thanks

I had no idea just how easy kydex sheath making is, this is real cool. Ive just ordered some sheets and the foam. I still love leather sheath making and will continue that, but my goodness this looks nice. Thanks

Where can I get the kydex sir ?
Also, what kydex sheet thickness would you recommend to make a holster ?
Awesome video by the way !

You need to come back and make more videos. Your last was a year ago :(

EXCELENTE VIDEO. GRACIAS...

There should be a rule that you have to be Australian to make knifes, So you can say "That's not a Knife" to all the others..LOL..JK. Great Video Man. Thank you.:)

Thank God I watched this. Was going to make my own after a few beers with maybe 3 of all the tools you have shown. Fuck. I'm going to buy one and go sit down :)

Really nice work and a great tutorial. Thanks!

Can you make a SOG mini instinct sheath for me with horizontal carry belt clip

Fantastic video!

Would a toothpick not work for the drain?

What does it make snap in like that? The bottom lip? Or is the handle beveled outwards at the edges slightly? Made a knife, want to make micarta handles and a sheath, but I have to do it right from the first time.

Awesome video man!! Thank you so much i plan on trying to make some for some of my knives. Again thank you!

can you give a link to where your dies came from ?

By the way i love your video very informative i also am not sure what foam to use i just used 2 layers of that puzzle board walking mat which is pretty hard.......i just wish i could make my eyelets look almost the same on both sides can you give me a link for the correct dies Please THank you so much !

I have an 8" Victorinox breaking knife. How would you handle the backwards curve in the blade when making a sheath?

Complimenti,bel lavoro👍

I don’t have a shop. What do you suggest? I just want to make them for me.

Wow, fantastic video! Thank you very much.

Great show. I have a knife I really like but has a leather sheath. I would like a custom kydex sheath. Do you have a website or email ? Thank you.

Wow what a great job.thank you excellent video.

Thanks!

Got links to the foam and supplies you used?

Best video I've seen on this subject. Thanks!!!!!

Beautiful sheath and beautiful shop!

Great video

I literally have no idea how you get that snap fit. I've failed too many times now

Where do I get kydex sheets?
I'm so ready to try this!
