I used compressed air ro blow the sheath out as well as soap and water after that and rinsed it with my hose so I had a lot of pressure going in it. It didnt get the edges though and there is a ton of debris in there from grinding it. I did put 1 later of tape on each side of the blade before molding the kydex but I will try more layers next time.
I would never polish a blade as it is hard enough putting a satin finish on it for me. I would use the chicago screws but I like to have a clip on the sheath for my belt. Are there any type of removable fasteners that have 1/4" holes?
Here is a pic of how scratched the knife gets from the sheath
