Been trying to work with Kydex a little. This is the system I have came up with that works well for me. One of the problem w/ Kydex is it scratches the blade. Sand, dirt, blood gets inside the case and you can't get it out. I made a set of spacers to set on the blade while forming the sheath. It gives .040 gap on both sides and a hole at the bottom. It can be washed out eliminating the crud build up thus reducing the risk of scratching. I have something in the works to eliminate the hole coming from the side and to make it go out the bottom. The pressure on the opposite side holds the blade in place until you push the tab. BD does something like this also. I can't seem to get his system done with it appearing crisp and clean.


Push on the tab and it releases the knife
