I recently started playing around with kydex and thought I'd show off my first few attempts at sheathing my Moras.
In this first pic, I basically followed a tutorial on another website and got decent results on my third shot with the Clipper sheath. (Also shown is some leather I did for my 760MG a few months ago.)
This pic shows my successful attempts at making two-piece pancake type sheaths. With a few tips from others around here and elsewhere, and with a little bit of trial and error, I think I'm figuring this out. I've done four of these for Moras, tried one for my BRKT Gunny, and have one in the works for my Rat-3. The two pictured below up front are the only ones out of the bunch I'd consider successful.
I'm particularly proud of that clipper sheath in the front. It was my second attempt for the clipper, and it came out perfect. Nice lines, good retention, smooth draw, and a nice solid click when sheathing. I made a loop that sets it at an extreme angle suitable for crossdraw carry which is what I prefer if I'm not toting something with a dangler.
The nice thing about working with kydex is that there's not as much of an investment of time in it like there is with leatherwork. If I screw one of these up, I chuck it and start over. If I screw up a leather project after hours or days of work, I rant, rave, cuss, and yell... and then chuck it.
