Figured I'd post up and get some opinions from the experts.:thumbup:

Its my first go with kydex (technically my second first was pivot out making it a bear to draw and open) Took about an hour rushing it, using a propane torch (:eek:) didn't burn it except in one light spot inside, really had no idea what I was doing but this stuff is great! Awesome retention, tough material, and it just happens to be almost an exact match to my PFD :thumbup:

So what do ya think? :thumbup: or :thumbdn: ?

So far so good! Bit of a pill to resheath one handed though. Thought maybe I'd add a bit of a lip that opens up towards the opening next time? Might also try another location, it pushes around on the strap when you try to resheath, I think it would be perfect tied off to a lashtab but my vest only has one in the rear. Retention is great, its easy to draw towards the side with one rivet but otherwise very hard to pull which is ideal!
