350 ???? wow that's hot .
E-mail me if I can make you something.
Honestly, if you have a number of knives.....I'd be buying some kydex and the appropriate molding materials (foam, etc) and making my own if I wanted individually molded specops liners.
If you just want a kick-ass sheath...get a brown, azwelke, etc. Their stuff is amazing and the costs for their sheaths are reasonable compared to a one-knife spec-ops. I like spec-ops because I can stuff a bunch of different knives in them without mods. But if I want a specific sheath, I make them myself or buy a brown.
With the number of knives I have, I invested in kydex molding materials and learned to do it myself for my IWB sheaths (mostly because nobody sees them and they look shitty compared to a brown).
Thanks 556Guy. I have a Brown, a Welke, a Rainwalker, and a couple other custom Kydex sheaths picked up over the years, but I also have a spec ops and assorted cordura sheaths that I'd like to use for more than one knife and figured a couple easy mold liners could help.
As for making stuff myself, I totally would, just not that much space for projects in my apartment. .
Funny they claim it is kydex. Kydex feels way stronger than their stuff and takes the heat much slower.
Yeah, that darn space issue is a bastard! Been there. I'm a very hands-on kind of guy and my last move required I downgraded my workspace size. Sucks! Not having my shop would suck even harder.
If I offended you, I didn't mean to. If that is the case, my apologies.
Hey, if you still want to use your Spec Ops sheath, Azwelke makes replacement kydex liners that are fitted to the knife. I have one; he does wonderful work. I don’t have a replacement liner from Dave or Mashed Cat, but I’ve seen that they’ve done them; and I have regular sheaths from them. Can’t go wrong with any of them.guarantee Dave Brown, Azwelke, or Mashed cat have one..
and have not had the issue after my first one started to shrink at about 275* years ago.
Sorry to hear that, but next time just use a heat gun. No issues at all and can get an amazing fit with some patience. No oven!
The heat gun I use is adjustable for temperature, so not really an issue once you figure out the coolest temperature that will still render the kydex/plastic moldable. I've marked settings for shrink tubing and kydex on the temperature adjustment dial, so it's a simple deal. Porter Cable PC1500HG 1500 Watt Heat Gun around $30. I also use the nozzle attachment kit, which allows me to focus the heat in small areas, so that I do not unintentionally undo previously shaped areas.Just be careful with the heat gun, they get a lot hotter than you will first think they will.
