My first time forming kydex

[savagesicslayer]

I bought a great mishmetal fire steel the other day and I wanted it mounted on a sheath.Since my Izula is always with me I decided to mount it on there.I used the old belt loop to the Kydex sheath that came with my Bravo-1.It sits in a superb sharpshooter leather sheath now so I had no problem with the scavenge.
I used a boiling pot of water and a few odd tools I had lying around.I'm pretty happy with the results.

It retains very well and the spacing was perfect.All I had to do was tweak the holes a tiny bit and it all fits perfect.

Very nice :thumbup:

The boiling water method seems to be effective and quick. I noticed the sheath I am making was kind of warped, so popped it in some boiling water for a few seconds, and straigthened it out.

Sweet! The Izula is a great blade too.

lol the fire steel is as heavy as the knife.When my HEST arrives I'm thinking I'll transfer it to that knife instead.It's just a tad heavy for neck carry.

There you go. That firesteel might be a bit big for the Izula. One of the small misch metal rods from Going Gear held on with a ranger band might be the ticket.
