I recently came across a large local supply of kydex.......I now basically use kydex for all my sheaths......i do love a good leather sheath for knives but the expense of materials and time involved or the cost of having a custom sheath made has pushed me towards pressing my own kydex scabbards.....I got the kydex for free from a local company making street cars,,,,,,they were lining the inside of the cars with kydex,,,,,,they were fixing it in place with a two sided tape by 3M that is vhb....very high bond......I put the sheaths together with the vhb and then i use chicago screws in place of the grommets....they look amazing......I also have developed a way to mould the belt loop into the back of the sheath by using a double layer and a 2 in wide piece of heavy sole leather used to form the belt loop.....the bonus is that 20 to 30 minutes is all the time needed and the sheath looks great
