OPK kydex

[Muaddib1116]

Anyone have pics of OPK kydex sheaths? I'm playing with the idea of either making my own or ordering a custom kydex sheath for my Shadow I. I'm looking for inspiration.

This was supposed to just be a "quick fix" kydex sheath for my Scout untill I made something better....that was few years ago now.

Nice, I like the orange. Is the retention based only on friction on the blade? or is there any sort of mechanical retention like on most kydex sheaths?

The blade is held in place by friction but is held largly at the guard rather than the blade. I make my kydex sheaths a slightly different way than usual in that the blade is actually fitted for retention after the sheath is made and not during the molding/pressing. That is how and why I use a spacer rather than just a single piece of folded kydex or the sandwich method.

A little fancier:
