Help! I have several people who may be ordering custom sheaths from me, but I am really low on supplies. All my Kydex was gifted to me, so this will be my first time needing to buy it. I have the TKS catalog, and I know I can get Concealex from Blade-Tech, but are there other/better places to consider? I don't need mass quantities, but I do need enough to do maybe ten fixed blade knives right now. I am looking for black and some grey, too. Any help is much appreciated!
 
Kleerdex home page is www.kydex.com I have always bought it from plastic shops. Last time I bought a 4x8 sheet in Dallas it was a little over $70. Check your yellow pages under pastics for shops that carry it. Avoid shipping charges and waits.
 
I've searched the web and can't find anything. Ifall back to my original position...let your fingers do the walking. I'm sure Rock Island and Chicago have plenty of plastic shops.
 
There are a number of plastics places in the Quad Cities, so we'll see what I can find. Another thing...when we in the knife biz talk about Kydex, everyone speaks the same language. Bad thing is that Kleerdex makes about 30 knids of Kydex. Anyone know which ones are ideal for knives? I seem to remember something mentioned in a thread about Kydex 100, and Kydex T, but doesn anyone know for sure? Thanks!

I know Maddog isn't the most popular guy around and I haven't been getting along with him to well lately he does seem to know his kydex and he reccomends Kydex 100--it will stand up to deet.
