How We Got Started
I
started experimenting with Kydex Sheaths in 2011. I wanted a better way of
carrying my Balisong Knives than to have them loose in my pockets.
With
some encouragement and support from members of the Jerzeedevil Knife Forum, I
started making them and selling them in the Forum.
Since
then I have made few different designs for Balisong Sheaths, some are similar
to what’s out there and some might be original. I say “might be “because I have
never seen any similar in any Google Search that I have done, not that they
don't exist.
My
next step in Sheath making was Neck Sheaths for folding knives, using the
fold over(or Taco style , as is best known among the kydexbenders) method and
my main line of neck sheaths is what I call the “R.D.N.S” (Rapid
deployment neck sheath).
It
allows the user to deploy the blade while drawing the knife out of the sheath.
I
also use the fold over method for my fixed blade sheaths. It has a smaller
footprint than the sandwich or pancake method leading in a more “streamlined”
sheath, but I do make sandwich style sheaths as well.
I
use .080 thickness quality Kydex for most of my sheaths and also .093 thickness
on the larger knives. For mounting solutions i use the Spyderco G clip
and Tek Loks for custom made brackets and "danglers" I use solely 0.125
thick Kydex.All the edges are buffed polished and radiused .
I
might add some more future variants as I develop my work.
