Talking M. Sader Kydex...

Here's a little sheath I just finished for Mike Sader of these forums. He doesn't work Kydex and really didn't want to start, so I offered to make it for him. He requested a side draw sheath for a rancher who will use the knife for ballin' calves . Wouldn't want to be on the sharp end of that little guy!! I added a drain hole as I understand the owner will be washing it out on a regular basis. As long as Mike likes it, I'll be shipping it out to him tomorrow.

Let me know what ya'll think.
Chris

Thanks Neil! It's all about how fast you can chuck it up in your vise once it's heated I suppose. I'll have to say that the first one was trashed. The form was good, but because of the placement of the rivets, the hold on the knfe was way too tight. So, I had to start from scratch again...oh well. Live and learn.

Chris
