cooking kydex, my first try

[anomad]

This is my first try at cooking up some kydex. Let's just say the custom guys have nothing to worry about in the form of competition from me!

However crude, I did manage to make a fuctional piggyback sheath for a mini bushman and SAK. I used stainless machine screws and a foldover as you can see in the photos. I haven't decided what kind of belt loop or whatever yet.

The little bushman is really locked in there, which is what I wanted. the factory sheath is very loose. I dropped that poor thing twice, once onto my garage floor from about 4 feet. Took a little time with the stone to get it back in shape.

My first attempts were probably not that good,, practice, practice. practice,
then buy the expensive tools!

I like it. I think it has character and is certainly awesome for your first try. Looks very functional too. Good job.

I should ad that its not really done. Need to smooth up the final edges and make an attachment. I'm curious if I will like the piggy back thing or a pouch better.
