For Kydex, I would use Kydex 100, which is a good general purpose Kydex with nice properties for use in sheaths. It's what I use. A sheet of 4'x8' size will run you a little over a hundred bucks in the 0.093" (3/32") thickness. You can get 0.060" which is too thin for anything but very small knives from TKS, and it costs $5 a square foot. They may have thicker, but my last catalog didn't show it. Concealex is similar to Kydex and runs about the same prices unless you are going for the camo patterns and that sort of thing.
