kydex sheathe
What is yalls opinion on kydex sheathes for 1084 steel knives? i eventually want to get good enough to try and start selling my knives, however, i hate leather work. With that said i had a guy my brother in law works with offer to make kydex sheathes for my knives very cheap...so is kydex sheathe a good option? He does excellent work, i have seen many gun holsters he has made from kydex.
Once again thanks for yalls input! |

Nothing wrong with Kydex but it sells better when it matches the style and purpose of the knife. If you're making a tactical knife then Kydex is just the ticket. For a nice hunting knife Kydex is harder to sell, leather is considered to be classier....

This^^. Personally and on purely a functional level, I'd chose Kydex every time. I like the LOOK of leather better, but Kydex just works. But....almost without fail, anyone who asks for me to build a knife will choose leather almost every time.
