Been messing a round with kydex ,a thermo formable plastic used in the car industry and decided to make up a sheath for my digging knife and pinpointer..

Wow. That looks like it works well

Its fantastic stuff ,you could wear it upside down and the fit is so neat that the knife will stay put!....gonna make a spade sheath for the digger 5000 next!

Oh ...and a beer holder !

Practical solution from a practical guy, looks good Tony.
I recently got my hands on a Garrett Retriever 2 hand pick and must still find a convenient way of carrying it. It has a mean point and sharp corners.

You can order all you need on a website called open mould.co.za. Google kydex and your away....thanks for the kind words Allen

How did you make the sheath for the pinpointer and attach it to the digger sheath?
-
That was machined on a lathe and milling machine and was simpll attached with self tappers .I had made the pinpointer sheath a while back and so decided to re use it .You could however incoporate both tools in the kydex sheath you just have to load the mould fast ! As the hot kydex cools rapidly
