First ever kydex sheath!

[Rez Exelon]

Had a chance to get a Bradford Guardian 3 for like, 95 percent off the other day but it came without a sheath. Got a bit bored yesterday and decided to make one for the first time ever.

Had I had proper materials I think I'd have come out nicer but I didn't really have the eyelets, so I rolled with nuts and screws for now. Had to bake and re bake twice to get it to line up right. Overall it'll do what I want and was a fun learning project. I've since ordered some things to have on hand for next time I get motivated for some others that need sheaths.

Honestly for this one Ill probably just have it chill on my desk or the garage so I won't do a clip. I've got some good options with factory sheaths where I could carry too.

The one I'll do next is a buck fixed blade from the fun box in the truck. I suppose little need for it since I built it a spot in the fun box setup but it'd be good to have it so I might put a clip there for attaching to sun visor or console bins or something.

If you've got the need for them I promise it's 100 percent easier than you think!

Might be worth trying to hit it with Google lens if you're curious... I've had decent luck with that getting me info on stuff, but there's a lot of knives that look similar so results can be sketchy.

Will do, thanks
