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..

[Paul van Heerden]

[Tony Curnick]

[Paul van Heerden]

Wow. That looks like it works well

[Tony Curnick]

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!

[Tony Curnick]

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.

Now you are making me think that I need one too.

[Tony Curnick]

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

[Paul van Heerden]

How did you make the sheath for the pinpointer and attach it to the digger sheath?

[Tony Curnick]

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
