Kydex Fasteners?

[MW740]

I'm not sure what the hardware is called that is used to fasten tek-loks or IWB loops to kydex. If I had to name it, it would be called t-nuts. I would like to know where I could get some of this hardware.

Hi,
I think what you are looking for is "Chicago screws".
You can run a google search for them, lots of suppliers.

Texas Knifemaker's Supply carries them in one size. Kovals has them too. Look under kydex both places.

Here's a great source:

Any size and color and material you want. Cheap too

BTW, I use the 1/8" for 0.090" kydex and love them. They are strong, easy to install, and easy to remove for cleaning. The bare aluminum ones (un-anodized) are very cheap, 100 for about $20.
