It took me about tow hours to make liners for my ESEE-4

I found a black, 5gal. bucket with a lid that I cut some liners out of that were about .090" thick. It took another two hours to trim and get the holes placed evenly.

After I put them on dry with no epoxy to see how they felt it took me about 30 seconds to remove them and toss them in the trash.
I realize the stock width of my ESEE-4 fits my hand perfectly.
 
I did the exact same thing with my BK2. I cut some liners out of an orange gojo soap container. They fit great, and looked really good. Black handle/orange liners/black blade.... but then it wouldn't fit in my kydex. I'm not modifying my $40 Azwelke sheath to fit some liners I made for free. Plus it was a little wider than I expected. If anybody wants these liners you are welcome to them. Just send me an email with your address and I'll send em to you. They fit pretty perfect and look great - I just don't want to use them.


I made some for my Greco Companion out of the same stuff and I like em. I left that pair on.

The liners are gone. truthseeker was the first one to ask for them, so I sent them to him. As for the rest of you fellas that were interested, here's how to make em:

Find something to make the liners out of. Almost anything hard and thin will work. I used the sides of a gojo soap container. I have used DVD cases in the past and they work well. Just make sure it's hard and it's the color you want. Cut out a sheet of the material that's big enough to cut 2 liners out of. It should be as flat as possible.

Take the scales off your knife.

Lay them on the material and trace around them.

Cut the liners out. Cut close to the lines you traced, but stay OUTSIDE of them.

Lay the scales on top of your liners. punch the holes for the screws and drill the hole of the lanyard to pass through.

Put the liners in between the scales. DO NOT mount them to the knife! Thread the screws through the scales and both liners.

Cut the liners closer to the edges of the scales. A snap-off razor blade works great for this.

Once they are close, start sanding the liners down with sandpaper. If you want, you can go ahead and hit the scales all over with the sandpaper to rough them up. I did this and it works great. Adds some much needed grip.

When the liners are flush with the scales and you like how the scales and liners look, unscrew everything and mount it all back on the knife.

Enjoy your new liners!
