Kydex rivet press ,any reviews ?

Hello all,

I am wondering about the Kydex rivet press sold over at knifekits.com

Anyone got one ? any info . good , bad ugly?

Looks like a pretty slick setup, I will make my own molding press for forming the sheaths but am interested in the rivet flaring press.

Thanks for any info.

Mike

Hi Mike,

I like mine, does a great job flaring over the rivets. I've not tried any other methods, first time I wanted to try Kydex I bought this press and haven't been disappointed, but I can't compare it to other ways... The only thing I could wish for is a set of flaring dies for smaller rivets....for such things as neck knives and such...
