Just finished up a leather covered kydex tutorial

[Daniel Koster]

I know it doesn't apply to most the folks in here, but I thought I'd drop a note anyway.

Leather-over-kydex sheath tutorials are hard to come by - I should know, I have been searching for them for a long time.

So I decided to give back a little bit.

I'm not a professional sheath maker, I'm not even a pro knife maker.

Just put together a little something for the "shoestring budget do-it-yourself-er weekend warrior" types...kinda like me, actually.

Oh, yeah...here's the link:

Looks good Dan. That method should work for most any knife. Thanks for sharing your skills.

Great tutorial! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge.
And the sheath looks good, too!

That is one of the best written up tutorials I've seen on anything. Very nice work, Dan. Lots of pics and clear explanations.

Dan,
Enjoyed all the work you put into the tutorial! Anyone would be proud to wear that sheath.
One question. I didn't see the wax/oil mix types and precentages. Did I just overlook it?
Thanks for the great information.
