Important Announcement from Knifekits.com [Kydex, Holstex, Boltaron Update]

Hello Everyone!!

Below is the announcement today from Alex Whetsell at KnifeKits. I am pleased to be a part of such BIG news for the DIY thermoform users everywhere.


Quote:
THE BIG, BIG, BIGGGGGG NEWS...

We're incredibly excited about today's big news announcement. This opportunity has been 13 years in the making, and it has been one of the most rewarding journeys that we have ever experienced leading up to t...his moment.

As any of our long time customers will tell you, when KnifeKits.com first started, there were no sheath and holster making supply companies with the depth of goods that you see in use today. From the original molding presses, to the world famous eyelet flaring dies, not to mention the deepest selection of thermoform materials available, KnifeKits.com has been the number one investor in DIY sheath and holster making technology in the last decade, or more. Today we have 1000's of products for custom sheath and holster making that assist and enable custom holster makers all over the world, from individuals to industrial level holster manufacturers.

Because of this, we have become the number one distributor of KYDEX, HOLSTEX and BOLTARON for the sheath and holster making industry. According to our sources, there is not even a close second place in volume and weight purchased for our industry segment. The colors, textures and gauges that we've developed are now the standards in our industry. Most of these have come at the extra expense of development, as color matching, initial run expenses and delays are significant when introducing a brand new color or texture into our market.

We have known that a growth step would be necessary in the future to service the number of customers and items that we carry, but have focused our investment on producing minimum material runs with our thermoform sheet manufactures in order to keep stock on our floor to meet our "same-day ship" policy that all of our customers enjoy. The balancing act has been influenced by demand, floorspace and investment.

Over time, and especially the last year, our customers have been voicing requests that began to exceed our floor stock to fulfill, based on our average running inventory of material and the cut sizes that they needed. Due to this, and to the growth of our market, we have decided to make a significant change to the way we stock, supply and price our thermoform material supplies.

Now, at KnifeKits.com, you will be able to share in the full advantage of our buying power, as we have purchased deep volume stock in all colors, gauges, textures, patterns and sizes of materials, and we are introducing stock 4'x4' cut sizes of all of our materials (every color and gauge) that are available for same-day shipping.

What is the bottom line?

Let me sum it up....

1) We carry every standard KnifeKits.com color, texture, pattern and gauge of KYDEX, HOLSTEX, BOLTARON, in-stock, and from 1'x1' to 4'x4' cut sizes.

2) We ship every color, pattern, texture and gauge the "same day", no delays.

3) Our volume buying power translates to the best end-user pricing in the industry. One sheet or multiples, we pass it to you.

In conclusion...

What's better than proof? See for yourself...
