I will get my Handshaped NMFSH CG this or next week, so who makes kydex sheaths?
 
I think David Brown has started making them, shoot him a pm i am sure he can help you out.
 
Hi

Yep please e-mail me, I will be glad to help you out, but what do you mean by " handshaped "?
I thought all the handles were machine finished magnums ?

Nope!!! For 35$ extra they make Handshaped handles for u, i show u when i get it.
 
Look at JAXX and Flux pictures, they both have Handshaped NMFSH and they look awsome.
 
well poop, I ordered the regular ones, which will work I think but to be 100% sure I would need it sent to me.
 
At your service. Let me find some pictures. You may need to send it in for a perfect fit. I got two that are handshaped, one feels as thick as the machined, the other feels a good deal thinner. I assume this is because they are custom done by hand and there is no real standard as to how much material is taken off. In reality, I think a sheath made to fit any NMFSH would work, but a custom fit would definitely be better (I am not a sheath maker and could be way off on this. Talk to one of them first!)

Good call on getting yours handshaped. The Jungle and handshaped Black Canvas has become my main user and I love it!
ETA: Pics. Sorry I don't have any that are very helpful in showing the difference in size. I'll have to take some with a micrometer to compare the thickness at different spots. I'll try to do that later.

I'm curious to know the difference between the two handshaped slabed ones as well as the difference nce with the machined ones too.
Thanks flux!
 
Okay. Here are a few measurements between one of my machined and both of my handshaped NMFSHs. All were measured using a digital micrometer. I measured the amount of material between the the thickest point at the first rivet (nearest pommel,) the middle rivet and the valley between the two. If anyone wants any other spots measured, let me know.

Machined
1st Rivet: 27.60 mm
Middle Rivet: 27.68 mm
Valley: 20.68 mm

Handshaped
Black Canvas:
1st Rivet: 25.85 mm
Middle Rivet: 25.67 mm
Valley: 19.92 mm

Tan Canvas:
1st Rivet: 26.26 mm
Middle Rivet: 26.20 mm
Valley: 19.65 mm

This is really surprising to me, since the Tan Canvas feels thinner in hand, when in reality it is almost half a mm thicker at the rivets. As you can see, it is thinner at the low point, but not by much. I think the tan canvas feels a little better in the hand because of how it is shaped above the middle rivet where the palm rests, therefore giving the illusion of being thinner. I'll post some pictures of the measurements at a later time.
 
I am sure Buy Brown will hook you up with an amazing sheath. Be sure to post pics once you have it.
