Nylon and Kydex

I have a special project I am working on that requires Nylon and Kydex for the Sheath. I need it to be silent so I am looking for a way to line the Kydex or find some that is already lined. I also need a supplier for the heavy weight Nylon used on Tactical Sheaths.

This is all way out of the normal stuff I work with so any help finding these materials will be appriciated.

Daniel

Dan, you can try these guys for the Nylon, as I have heard good things about them.

For Kydex, I would contact Mike Sastre at http://www.rivercitysheaths.com/

I hope this helps and I am looking forward to finally meeting you at Blade. Dave Cole

I have glued tried gluing leather and felt to kydex, both w/success. Mold it to the knife with a loose peice of chosen material and glue it after( or the heat might wreck the bond)
Good luck
