Sheath/Holster Making
DIY Video - How to Make a Fold Over Knife Sheath w/ a Small Tek-Lok™ Attachment Using HOLSTEX®

In this video, KnifeKits.com shows how to make an 1-piece knife sheath. The knife sheath in this demonstration video was made with a London Tan Raptor HOLSTEX® thermoform sheet and a small Tek-Lok™ attachment. The video covers the complete taco-style knife sheath build from molding to final sanding and polishing. The small Tek-Lok™ is a great attachment for smaller knives, such as the Boot Shark knife kit.
