What I am looking for is four sheaths. Keep in mind please that the belt I use daily is a double thick leather carry belt.

Horizontal carry for a SOG PowerLock. Hoping this one could be kydex as I like how easy it is to resheath.

IWB/OWB sheath for a RAT H.E.S.T. - Leather or kydex not really sure but I was thinking that a good steel clip that would work in the belt would clip good enough on pants behind my belt. This one may have to be convertible or maybe even two separate sheaths I don't know.

The last one is similar to the H.E.S.T. sheath but for a RAT Izula.

Fourth and final sheath. Just kidding I think this is enough for now since this will probably cost me plenty.

Now for the million dollar question...

Why post this here? I need suggestions on makers. I have looked through the sticky on makers and would rather have some suggestions from users instead of makers.

Thanks in advance.

OK so no one has any suggestions of makers? How about some tips on making my own? I haven't got search capabilities as the baby is getting all the money leaving none for memberships. I have been looking at some supplies at knifekits.com and am now leaning toward making my own. Plus I have an idea of making a piggy back design to incorporate my Izula behind the PowerLock. Any tips guys?

Knife kits is the place I got started. Get the hand-setter for the rivets,(eyelets) I use .093 kydex so It's black rivets #8-9. Get the foam for your press there as well, It works alot better than camp mats. I weld and have an oxy-acetylene rig so I was able to fab a press that absolutely rocks. but you can fab one out of wood as well If ya don't have the means to make it out of steel. Get a heat gun form Harbor Freight about 10.00 with a coupon. I use a dremel to cut and form the kydex after its pressed. I get my kydex from ebay and It's alot cheaper. You can fab your own belt clips real easy or get teklok's .
Go for it man......:thumbup:
 
Thanks Sensei. There is a fun show in town this weekend so I may try and find some sheets there. Other wise I will get a knifekits kit to give it a shot. As for the press... I have the means to make one out of steel and I looked real good at the ones for sale on knifekits and think I can make one very similar to theirs. Thanks again.

Eric got a pic? I actually had a left over belt loop for a crossbreed holster that I attached to the HEST Sheath but I am always open to new stuff...
