kydexing a stock 4 sheath (with BLOOD!)

[thrillbilly]

So I like the 4 sheath, as I mentioned in my review thread, but I dont care for handle snaps. So I went and made a kydex/nylon hybrid out of it it. I love it just from a few minutes of using it.

Enuff of my drivel, on to pics!

Before

After

It still needs to be polished and final-sanded...but the function is perfect, I am pleased.


When working with a shaving sharp machax...and using a open kydex ''sheath'' keep ur fingers off the blade! I made a slight error and sunk the 4 to the bone. A lil pressure, gauze and tape...and I managed to finish it up.

The Tee section of the kydex slides down between the sheath and the sheath's blade liner.

Here's a video demonstration of how it works.

I checked this one out for the blood and was not dissapointed Good looking kydex too

Damn, at least when I stabbed myself with my 16, I was playing with the knife, not the sheath! Looks good though.

just some skin and blood, it all grows back. Does the vid work for anyone else? I aint sure if I'm posting it right LOL

The Becker Gods demand blood!! Good job!!!

Good job and way to think outside of the box.

...and to quote myself playing any FPS: "Medic, MEDIIIIIC"

 

[Moosez45]

Damn.

And I just saw your quote, and about pissed myself. I had forgotten about that one for a minute. Now I remember why my laff muscles were sore for 3 days.

Cool mod. Regarding the blood..........I keep tape, gauze and superglue near me at all times when handling sharp objects. Almost every sheath I make shares a little of my blood. I'm just a danger to myself when it comes to sharp object!.

The vid does work bro, linked me right to it. Looks like the thing works good I don't think you'll ever have to worry about your Machax popping out, at least your blood sacrifice was worth it!

 

[Stark Knives]

At least the result was worth the wound. Great work!

[tjswarbrick]

Ouch. Looks like that hurt.
But the result seems well worth it! Nice work!

Holy Sh*t Thrill! How did that not happen at the gathering. Now you know why everybody backed up 10 ft. Everytime you picked up a knife! Lol!

 

[Myker]

Not really sure how I should reply, nice mod, heal fast , sorry just a little quizie!

LOL! I dont cut myself USING my knives..always when I'm WORKING on them.


that was freakin hilarious how y'all were so jumpy all weekend though... lmao

That is a real slick idea there Clayton. I like my Machax sheath a lot, and I don't mind the snaps too much. But I don't like how the handle slides up exposing about 1/2 inch of edge. Your invention looks like would also stop that problem as well. :thumbup:

 

[DerekH]

Heck of a setup you got there man. Very nicely done! :thumbup:

Good mods require blood payment. Blue tape is your friend when bending.

Sweet mod man, hope your ok, just think when a kami makes a khukuri sometimes they bless them with blood, and with the 4 looking somewhat like a khuk, she is now blessed. Heal fast bro and damn good job.
