Mr. Koster...

Greetings!

Have you ever done a kydex sheath (or any kind of sheath) for a Seax?

Andy

 

[tedwca]

yeah, I'd like to know also. hint,hint

 

[Daniel Koster]

I will have an answer for you tomorrow. :thumbup:

 

[cybrok]

Smells like a "missing scabbard" DOTD

 

[Daniel Koster]

any special requests of how you'd like to see it done? (I can try several)


p.s. I work on these at my buddy Tom Krein's shop (which is why despite it being a relatively quick project - compared to a knife - it still takes time since I only go to Tom's at certain times...and I'll be there tomorrow. :thumbup: )

 

[Andrew Colglazier]

I'd like mine to be a simple straight in, straight out like the kerambit sheaths, with multiple cant settings and a large tek-lok.

Andy

 

[tedwca]

Ditto .

 

[tedwca]

Dan,

Did your knifemaker membership expire? You're looking a little BLUE.

 

[Daniel Koster]

crap......



thanks for the note, Ted! :thumbup:

 

[Daniel Koster]

All done.

 

[Jaiofspam]

lol... nice :thumbup:

 

[Daniel Koster]

I did finish one..but I'm not 100% satisfied with it. It doesn't "lock" into place since it doesn't have a guard. It's not loose either...more like "snug"...but you can't hold it upside-down and shake it (which is what I'd prefer).

Here's a pic:

The sheath is set up for Horizontal, Vertical and Canted carry.

 

[Andrew Colglazier]

Dan, that's OK. More than OK..... Looks great! When can you ship?

;-)

Andy

 

[tedwca]

You can just toss one in with my order

Dan, where do you get your kydex from? I'm looking for a good yet relatively cheap supplier for a small pilot project. Am thinking of doing some sheaths for some of my work tools and if this works out I may even market them within the trade.

[Daniel Koster]

I get my kydex from the most awesome, kind, gracious, giving supplier in the whole wide world...


:foot:



I had to snitch the pieces for this one guys...made Tom so angry...he cut up the rest of the sheet into tiny 2" x 4" pieces...just so I couldn't use 'em....

:foot:




I used to live near a plastics place in VA and got it by the sheet (for cheap! - about 75% off). Sadly, those days are gone.


Knifekits.com is a good place to get small pieces...I'm tempted to pick up one of their orange kydex pieces...cool stuff!

Also available at www.texasknife.com

Shows up on ebay every once in a while too.

But probably the best bet is to find a local/regional plastics distributor and ask for kydex "T" grade.
