WaterJet cutting 1/8" Kydex Brackets
Finally i'm happy with a design for Drop brackets to make mounting kydex sheaths easier
I and many others make and use a lot of this sort for various knives and they take a while I also end up with different options for mounting from Teck lok to leather Loop or Webbing strap etc and to put all the options in makes it a long job usually takes me 1/2hr even with a cutting template for drilling etc So ive made a design (well 4) that offer mounting holes / slots for all the options and Have had them Cut with a water jet cutter from a 8ft x 4ft sheet of 3mm Black Kydex to keep the cost sensible has std 1.5" on center holes to Chicago screw onto the knife sheath and comes up with a Dog leg to a tab 1 fits 1" ( 25mm) Large Tek Lock in the side holes at various heights Mollie lock will also fit the same holes small tek lock fits in the slots leather loop can be chicago screwed to the slots or holes 2 fits 1.5" (38mm) webbing in the slots like a tri glide so is fully adjustable and need no sewing Large Tek Lock in the Slots at various heights Mollie lock will also fit the same Slots small tek lock fits in the slots leather loop can be chicago screwed to the slots 3 same as 2 but a designed to bolt to Esse std width sheaths both sizes 4 Parang brkt fits 1.5" webbing will take the rest as well and a 1" and 1.5" tri glide to take out the slack in long drops and can be used with an elastic to hold the handle if needed also had the liners and scales for the parangs cut at the same time and a vid of the cutting will be doing a vid to show and explain the mounting options as its easier than typing it Last edited by FGYT; 06-02-2013 at 05:20 AM. |
