Texas Knifemakers Supply and Jantz Supply immediately come to mind. I do remember seeing a post that had at least two others, Maybe they will post it again.

And if you are just starting out, kinda like me, they are clearancing some scratch and dent stuff right now for practicing with.

I am finding better prices and more color selection at knifekits.com right now but would like to find even better prices. Everything went up quite a bit since I ordered last and they don't seem to carry .080" OD - now offering .093", which is pretty thick for what I do and OD is a very popular color.

Jeff,

Check with local plastic suppliers, or get a listing of suppliers from Kleerdex, to get prices on 4'x8' sheets. That's the way to get your costs down.

Best prices according to most.

Thanks, Mike. I'll look at them again. I have their site bookmarked in a folder full or resources and didn't know which of the places I found would be best. I just spent over $300 on what seems to be a very small amount of Kydex in 12"x24" sheets but, I had to have it.

Wow- Kleerdex wouldn't talk to me unless I bought 13 sheets of 4x8 and they had to be one color. Interstate plastics has great prices unless you are in Canada as they only ship UPS and my shipping ended up costing $10 more than my order!
