Up until recently I've been making pancake style kydex sheaths; however, in an effort to try something new I've ventured into making taco style kydex sheaths. I must say that I enjoy making the taco style sheath more. It's easier during the construction phase of the sheath since it stays together easily. I also like being able to add a sweet thumb ramp to the back of the sheath (not the thumbnail for this video doesn't show the thumb ramp I eventually put onto that sheath!). I hope yall enjoy this video, if you have any questions feel free to drop them in the comment section below.

I'm thinking taco. At least for knives, guns might be better with pancake. Have to look at some more examples before locking my final answer.

I’m about to make my first sheath and this video has my confidence high! Is that .06 or .08 thickness and do you change your heating method depending on which you use? I noticed you go high heat to 285°. I’ve seen others do slow and low to 350°. Any pros and cons? Thanks man. Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere. 🤘🏻

Dirt, grit, grime will get into kydex sheaths and scratch your blade for sure. It's tough to stop this.

@@RedBeardOps I tied a clean rag to a long string and pulled it through like a bore snake a few times before setting the eyelets, but it's still rubbing the etched finish a little. Maybe this is just normal, but it still bugs me

I’ve been doing pancake but like the taco option. BUT I’m not having much success. They are coming out really loose and looking all wavy. Any suggestions?

I think I figured out what my problem was. I don’t think I was getting the kydex hot enough. On my fifth attempt I heated it up to 315 degrees. Had the consistency of a lasagna noodle. Layed the knife on it an folded. Than clamped the crap on the press. (Copied your press.). After 25 minutes took it out and looks great.
