First kydex sheath that I like

Well...this aint too bad. The paddle style is bulkier in its construction but for the life of me I had trouble with the wrap around style. Any hints on what you like to see?


What I had the most trouble with was the molded back on the wrap around. Any one have any advise?

Thanks for any input.

Getting good results with a wrap-around sheath is tough. For me, it's just been a matter of practice (and reheated kydex). I try to get the knife shoved back against the fold as quick as I can, put it in the press....trying to hold it so that it stays even...and then get some help closing the press and clamping it down.

Sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't.

Any problems with the blade sticking in the sheath due to the fact that your blade is quite a bit deeper than the guard, or is the opening "open" enough at the bottom?

No sticking problems. The molded handle area prevent the knife from going too deep. It resheaths really well! I was surprised
