Kydex-leather combo sheath for a bushcraft knife 2

My first kydex-leather combo sheath made this year. Another sheath made for a knife made by a great polish knifemaker Mariusz "TLIM" Przybyłowski. This time it is a bushcraft knife with toxicated black G10 scales so black screws were used for sheath to complete the tactical look. I also used black G10 for firestarter handle. Leather was finished with Fiebing's Professional Oil Dye, SNO SEAL and Gum Tragacanth for edges, glued with EcoWeld cement.

"Amigo" Neck knife

Finally a new knife! This is the first knife made with help of my CNC milling machine.

Blade shape and even rough grind have been milled. Blade is also stonewashed as this finish always looks cool with orange scales ;) Hope you like it as it is 'the prototype for a prototype' of my new regular model.

Blade thickness: 3 mm

Kydex-leather combo sheath for a bushcraft knife

   Sometimes people ask me to make a sheath for their knives. I usually told them that I don't make a classical leather or kydex sheats because there are many great sheatmakers even in Poland who do that for a living and many of them are far way better than me. I also told them that there is one kind of sheath that I would like to do... my favourite leather-kydex combo. No everyone likes that combination of materials but I have just found a person who agreed to my kydex-leather proposition :)

   The sheat and a firestarter is made for a very popular in Poland bushcraft knife made by Mariusz "TLIM" Przybyłowski. This is a first sheath where I used Fiebing's Professional Oil Dye. It is saddle tan color. I also use for the first time a famous SNO SEAL leather protection to make it waterproof. Seeing results, I think that I will use Fiebings Professional Oil Dye and SNO SEAL as a standard in my sheats. It looks clean and proffesional, and what is more important - leather is well protected. Can't wait to make another one :)

Orange Survival Set (Part 5) End of the story...

I have finally finish the set(and the post). I am pretty happy with it because I manage to make it almost as compact as I planned. For the second time I made a fire starter with a screwdriver so no other tools are needed to put together the sheats and leather (or separate them if needed). I have to say that I really like the kydex-leather combination and for sure there will be more sheats like this. Below some technical data.

Big Blade
Steel: D2
Blade thickness: 5 mm
Blade length: 13 cm
Overall length: 26 cm 
Handle material: orange G10

Small Blade
Steel: N690  
Blade thickness: 2,5 mm  
Blade length: 6 cm  
Overall length: 15,3 cm 

Leather-Kydex sheath
Fallkniven DC3 sharpener
Orange G10 firestarter

In my opinion the sheath is the most interesting part. IIt was made modular so all the parts can be combined together or be carry as separate items. For example firestarter and sharpener can be attached both to small kydex sheath or the big one. Also small blade can be carry as neck knife with paracord loop. 

 

 

Finally a short movie

 About two months ago I decided to make some tutorials and put it in my blog. Finally first of them is finished! I will show you how I make my kydex sheats. It will be a sheath with a cordura belt loop and a firestarter. Hope it will help someone! You can watch the tutorial by finding a link on the right panel of the blog or by just clicking here:
