I have a few victorinox boning knives that come with a thin plastic cover over the blade. I usually tape up the cover but the knives end up going through. Looking for simple kydex covers. Can outline the knives on paper. Are there kits available if I can do this myself? Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds.

Just throwing it out there. Someone else might be interested too. https://www.azwelke.com/ Most people don't really want the truth. They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Placed 2 sheets together traced the knife added 1/2 inch then together on my scroll saw, drilled holes and set gromets around the perimeter. Put the knife in and used a heat gun to loosen/ tighten. Not particular about fit as these are usually in a gear bag or strapped on a pack just so long as it stays in the sheath until I pull it out. Took less than an hour.

An old belt, an old piece of leather, industrial glue, a leather lace and a couple of cable ties. The black one is a straight blade. Faith and love of others knows no mileage nor bounds.
