My kydex isn’t nearly as refined as yours but I’ve used your videos as a guide for mine. What I’ve started doing is taking the kydex to 400 grit on the grinder. Pinching that first rivet for gauge lockup. Then onto kydex buffing wheels which are Scotch-Brite wheels. This step lets me finish and debur the kydex. I then wash out the sheath and use bits of paper towel to wipe the inside. Then I river the sheath together and do the thumb ramp.

Been watching your videos for a while now.. just want to say thanks. Had a couple of self forged steels that i didnt want to "f" up but i took the plunge to freehand grind with tips from you.. throw the jig away! I know ill mess one up but just like a good carpenter you know how to hide mistakes. Thanks keep grinding!

Terrific tips. Just got the foam in the mail to build a press. Been slow to make the transition to Kydex from leather. I'll be sure to go over all your sheath vids to make sure I don't waste everything. This style of video works great in my opinion, thanks for the training!👍

Id almost forgotten how much I appreciate watching you at your craft. You are one of a kind and truly my inspiration for giving it a try. The more I try the more I appreciate just how good you are! Not trying to fluff yah up too much but yah, you've got undeniable skills man! Was the white in the handle anything special like bone or ..?? It was so nice and ivory white I loved it! I found some sections of moose antler that were soooo white! unfortunately you don't get big thick sections of it. Guess i'll have to dip into your channel more often again now that I at least half understand whats going on now :)

Dude, your OG kydex videos helped me tremendously - I started last weekend and went nuts: 2 knives (Izula and Izula II) in taco style (one normal, one very minimal), one sandwich for a multi tool because I had some small scraps, and I even made a sheath for my wife’s garden shears lol - sort of an inverted taco (fold at the bottom) because she wanted pretty light retention and that made it pretty easy to tune from the bottom-up. Anyway, thanks for the great videos!

Hey brother, appreciate the videos and tips. One suggestion: I do the thumb fold with the knife in the sheath to prevent it from deforming in unwanted directions and get the comfortable thumb press without needing to modify that area further. Take care! TD

Love the content!!! Always learn really appreciate it!! One thought to share is you can get a cheap plastic welding torch, it hooks to shop air. Air adjustment helps control temp/ distance from plastic. I think it could really help with Kydex forming. Just a thought. One thing to remember always unplug and let fully air cool before shutting off air to save element. Hope this can add a neat tool and help. I have one and love it…..if harbor freight in your area.

Perfect timing on this video man. Big fan of your work and videos. I'm currently working on the kydex for a compact kukri knife and I've tried molding it no less than 9 times already. I use the gap spacer for any recurves but still having issues. Hopefully this video will help, thanks!

I don't like the clips that i see on kydex sheaths. I started mixing kydex and leather. Using the leather as the loop for the belt.
