Kydex Rotating Knife Sheath

FPS combines my passion for hunting and wildlife conservation with the overall need for self sufficiency.

Step 1: Heat the Kydex until it has the consistency of wet leather, the griddle does a great job of heating the Kydex evenly.

I use a $20 Walmart griddle to heat the kydex, its easy and cheap.

Where did you get the foam for your kydex press?

Nice work. But what is FPS? Acronyms can have many meanings.

[foodplotsurvival]

It is short for Food Plot Survival. A page a try to update daily with articles and information.

SOG Twitch XL with a paracord square knot fob. Good knife, but cheap steel. Would love to have this configuration with a vg10 blade..... one can only dream.

Google kydex press. There are many different homemade designs on the web, I'm sure you can find a good set of plans.

In Step 9, where did you get the pivoting belt clip?

Very nice! I'll be looking into making my own kydex sheath after seeing your work.
