new stuff: kydex knife sheath

[Nanotech9]

key points are it clicks in just like my gun holsters (i.e. good retention) and it doesn't wear against the wood on the handle. The metal of the blade spreads the top of the kydex apart (hence the lack of rivets in the top) so that the wood doesnt touch.

Nano, do you think you could make a horizontal carry sheath for this knife?

Nano, do you think you could make a horizontal carry sheath for this knife?

A) I like that knife. It seems to be the type of knife you see in a quinton tarentino film

B) I like that you took the pic on your comp and could see nano's pic in the background.

Prices

yeah it took me a second to figure out why he had the same place mats as i do... lol.


I'm not 100% sure how to price the knife holsters.. Theres actually quite a bit of work that goes into them with all the rivets etc. I priced the one in the picture at $30.

Pretty sure i can make something that will work well for that one you've got there Nikat.

For those out of town i'm able to ship back and forth easily since theres no FFL involved.

Nano, good deal, $30 seems reasonable for a good sheath, is that what you are expecting to be the "typical" price? The one that came with mine was obviously not meant for any kind of quick draw. I can't do it right now, but hopefully in a week or two I'll have a little more extra cash. I can ship/deliver you the knife so you can work with it, it's a little oddly shaped.

they all have positive retention... but aren't sloppy or drag. they all click in fairly well on specific detent points. the detent on the damascus blade is obvious (the depression that fits in the slot in the blade).

tagged for when I find the knife that needs the sheath

If you can make that flashlight carrier in a HORIZONTAL position, for a 1.75" belt, I'll take one.
