| Making this sheath got me thinking about things. For one, I don't like how these belt clips only have a single hole. It allows them to turn and that's no fun (so I added another hole and second rivet). Next was, "how do I make a better belt clip?" |
 |
| The "show" side of the sheath for my C-Tek Mini. I like it. It looks good. I have to say that making two piece sheaths lends better results for me than folding them. |
 |
| My mission tonight was to work on a way to make belt clips from Kydex. Here, I'm milling a positive mold. |
 |
| All done. |
 |
| Belt clip in process. |
 |
| A semi finished belt clip. There is plenty of excess material that can be trimmed off later after it is riveted to the sheath. I am considering making this from thicker material to add some stiffness. Also, instead of pressing it over the mold with foam, I may try an aluminum negative to press it. That will make the entire process more accurate and repeatable. Stay tuned, we'll see how it turns out. |
