Looking for bulk purchase and have been looking everywhere on the internet but no luck. Don't know of a supplier. I make my own -- it's not that hard. tk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me is it worth my time to make my own or just purchase a couple hundred sets. Right now its all about time. With that being said what are you using to mold them? What thickness of kydex? How are you cutting the kydex? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdf Report post Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) An outfit called Bladetech makes them . They make one designed as a joint venture with Spyderco . They also make Tech Lok's and paddles for holsters . Well proven , and well executed stuff . Chris Edited August 3, 2012 by cdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malabar Report post Posted August 3, 2012 I'll try to take a few photos of my setup this weekend. I make the blanks in batches out of .125" Kydex. I bandsaw the Kydex into 1-inch strips. Smooth the edges with a scratch stock set into a bench vise; then drill two holes on one-inch centers, using a precision jig I made. I round the edges on a bench grinder, and then they are ready for molding. I have a jig made out of heat-proof ceramic tile, with two pins that match the holes in the blank. I put the blank on the pins and heat the blank with heat gun. I use small strips of wood to bend the kydex around. I've made several shapes, like the ones below.... tk I am sure its not that hard.
