How to make a Kydex Knife Sheath 

Fantastic job. I really liked the little wrap around the black piece does and the red rivets with the green. I'm usually an all black for everything, but the contrast on this looks really nice.

I love good kydex work. It’s just a great sheath material and it’s an incredibly versatile thing. Some part of me will always prefer leather, but a well made kydex sheath is just as much a work of art

I like your belt loop idea. One thing I do after I sand the edges of kydex is polish them with a green scotch bride pad, that takes all the sanding marks out and makes the edges shiny.

the electric griddle is the best thing ive seen yet. excellent video.

Great job that looks awesome. The knife, the sheath, the colors. It all works great together. I also like the fact you made the belt loop removable, so the carry can be adapted to the owners preference. 👍👍

Looks awesome very instructive i was looking at trying kadex fit myself. Lovely shape on knife too

I like it

Really nice work. This is a step above some of the other sheaths i see made online. I'm about to try my hand at one similar to this. Thank you for the video!

Well done. Beautifull sheath. Learn a lot. Hugs from Brazil 😊

Oustanding job , thanks for the video !

Excelente trabajo !! 👏 👏👏👏

Very beautiful! 😊

Nice designed sheath 👍

Zajebisty kydex! 💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻

Nice job dude. That is way harder looking and more involved than I thought it would be. Just bought a Trayvax Trek Field knife, but they're sheaths SUCK. Was going to try to make my own, but now I'm rethinking it. Hopefully I can find something on ETSY or something that will suit my needs.

Beautiful work

Top notch stuff 👍

great video! no bs and right to the job! subbed.

Great job. 👍👍

Wish I had a workshop like this

Looks like a Dingo knife I had. Nice job.

Nicely done.

Nice work on the sheath, that’s a good lookin knife too.

Excellent!!!!

Nice job!

Thanks for the video.

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Un trabajo muy bien ejecutado hermano 👏! Realmente has creado un eestuche estilo tactico mejor confeccionado q algunos cuchillos tácticos de la industria,,, así que mis sinceros respetos💪👌

Nice job! Maybe on another build consider molding a horizontally opposed spot for a small magnesium fire starter stick.

Awesome

Really nice...

If you don’t want the discoloration/shiny stuff, simply put the smooth/non textured side of the kydex on the bottom when heating. Also helps if you don’t go much higher than 315-320 degrees. I use a cookie sheet covered in aluminum foil & my oven. I set the oven at 300 & check the temp of the kydex with an IR thermometer.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Regards from Brazil.

Perfect!!!

Very nice work. Could you upload or explain what padding you used in the press?

Nice looking stuff man! I need to step it up a bit now lol

Quando quiser vim conhecer a amazônia!! Já está convidado!! Tenho minha oficina aqui no meio da selva!! Não sou tão bom quanto você!! E não tenho muitas ferramentas apropriadas!! Mais estamos aqui para a arte de improvisar!

I like to block of wood in the mold. Good idea

Nice job,now add a sharpener and a ferro rod and we'll be all set!

Kereeeeeen

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

Luwar biasa'bosku mantap

Nice work👍🏽

Gute arbeit! Ich bin jedoch kein fan von plastikzeug beim bushcraften! Ich baue sowas nur aus leder! 🤷🏼‍♂️

I was on board till the pencil came out. What did you sharpen it with a demented beaver with dentures?

Moim zdaniem fajnie, że szlufka wykonana jest z taśmy. :) Zapewnia to lepszą "mobilność" pochwy, niż gdyby również była wykonana z kydexu (lub - nie daj Bóg - zastąpiona tec-lockiem), jestem osobą, która używa pasków skórzanych, i bałbym się, że kydex porysuje mi pasek. :V Szlufka ze skóry lub z cordury zawsze mile widziana. :) Zdrówka! :P

dope bro now one with a clip

Nice, but you should shorten it by half and inch and round it more down there.

What kind of knife is that I really like it

Eu gostaria muito de poder usar uma faca dessa aqui na selva amazônica!! Está no estilo bushcraft, selva.

Sudah sy like coment dan suscrabe y

perfect tutorial

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

Thanks

What thickness kydex is that? The definition in the sheath is incredible!

Mantaaaap

Very nice work sir. Do you make kydex holsters for pistols ?

Nice job. What knife is that ???

Руки оторвать за это надо!

hi. where can I buy this file for jimping? best regards

how long did it take you to do this? Have you counted the time?

Is there a way to build it to attach to molle?

what knot did you use on the handle lanyard?

What did you use to heat the kydex?

Where did you purchase the kydex?

what thickness kydex do you use?

What thickness kydex did you use?

What knife is that???

Consider guiding your kydex with a small piece of wood instead of your fingers when you will be working very, very close to the blade like that. If the saw bites or if there is any mistake, the injury could be painful and expensive. It is very easy to avoid, using tools. Stay safe. Great video.

Real

How much something like this goes for?($$$)

What is the material you use??

Nyimak

how the f do you only got 200 abos?

The work is exelent but without anny comments for a newbie, what you are doing , what expl. Bolts you use etc. Some words would be helpful

What knife is that

Think you used enough masking tape ✝️🇺🇸🤔

Heated the wrong side and got it way to hot. If the kydex gets shiny, your temp is to high

Kydex? Is only a plastic???

please give us pattern of this knife

what knife is that?!!!!!!

I like the case, but think the belt loop will be the downfall. Why? As tight as the knife is in the case, it will forever be a pain to retrieve the knife because the loop will allow it to lift 3-4" every time you pull it out. Show us a video with it on your belt, and pulling the knife out one handed. Will be almost impossible. If the same loop were fastened at both top and bottom, to the kydex, it would stay in place for a much easier one hand draw. Pretty nice case otherwise.

but it was complicated, Kydex is supposed to be easy

Резковатый угол (напоминающий "американское "танто")на ножнах, имхо, выбивается из общей композиции. Я б, его снёс нафиг! Иначе ножны несколькочудеродно смотрятся - не гармонируют с ножём и концепцией общей.😂

This is a great video showing how YOU made a kydex sheet, but besides giving a visual demonstration of the steps you didn’t actually talk about materials needed, steps required, or anything about actually making a sheath. Yours is great but this is not an instructional video. Change the title bro. 😂 Edit: You also include no information in the description. This video is one of the least useful “how to” videos I’ve come across in awhile.
