I bought one of the eyelet setters from one of the knife maker's suppliers and it just doesn't do the job as well as I feel it should. Does anyone know where I could buy a high quality setter or pliers for this? Also, has anyone found a source for bulk kydex? I found a couple outfits online that said they sold it in 150 foot by 2 foot rolls but they never got back to me with a price so I'm still looking. Thanks!
 
I ended up getting my eyelet pilers and dies at .... http://www.fastener-supply.com , and thier prices on eyelets aren't bad either. I get an nice clean roll from my pliers with no spliting. I think the dies might only go up to a GS7 size eyelet, for pliers. I've been using GS6 for a while and work fine for me but sometimes for a larger sheath a GS8 eyelet would be nice. I think you might need to go to a benchtop setter for the larger sizes and a feed system. I think I ended up paying around $100 for the pliers and GS6 die.

Hope this helps.

Take care,
