I make custom Kydex stuff all the time! Great stuff
 
thx,bud.
got a small present in the form of CS tanto light,with a cordura sheat (like the knife,but hate the sheet)
and I have never done anything with kydex,though I'm quite good in doing stuff with my hands, I know there are vid's on yt,but...any
beginners traps I could/should avoid??

and it has to look nice when I carry it while participating in my reserve trainings ;)

Ronin...I don't like Kydex, but maybe I haven't given it a chance.

One issue has to do with noise discipline.

A rigid, hard sheath makes noise if it gets bumped when you're trying to be quiet. A blade can also make a rattling noise bumping around in a kydex sheath when you're moving.

Also, I find kydex can make a noise when the blade is drawn.
 
When it’s done right, most of the issues listed are minimal. A properly molded Kydex sheath has no play therefore no rattle. Also the sheath noise with the draw is not any different than any other sheath. I’ve heard a whoosh with leather . Idk anything can make noise. I’ve just never encountered and issue with it that I wouldn’t with most other holsters and the like. Is it possible to knock into something and make a noise? Yes, but that can happen with most anything.. most operational staff I work or have worked with have custom kydex gear that they use in field.
