BELT LOOPS: Here is a tutorial showing how I make my belt loops that go with this style of sheath: www.bladeforums.com/threads/webbing-loops-for-kydex-sheaths.1147139/
@@GoughCustom Kydex is for rookies! I am returning the leather ... Kydex has scratched all my blades that came with it as standard. Some expensive blades now have Kydex damage !!!

@mathew howard unless your steel is softer than kydex the scratches must be coming from other contaminants, ie. dirt, sand, etc. i made the mistake of not cleaning my kydex off before making my first few and abrasive dust from my grinder and other steel dust made its way inside and was putting scratches on my knives. once i started cleaning my sheaths and giving them a rinse now and then i haven't had any issue. just my experience tho.
@@GoughCustom After 4 years I've ended up back here on this video and I would like to make a few observations: I now own a Gough Custom Knife, and it is utterly superb. It is without doubt the most reliable knife I own, because I can trust the manufacturing process, the heat treat, design and materials. I initially thought there was a slight defect with the kydex sheath and emailed them. Gough replied, and precisely explained the indent I was referring to, why it was deliberate, and the precise function it served. There is nothing on this knife or sheath that is "accidental" or a "manufacturing flaw". If you want a 100% reliable knife that you can take to the desert OR Antarctica, and you need to know you can trust completely, well this is 500 Canadian well spent. As for the argument about Kydex versus Leather sheaths ... Im a fan of both, but neither is "best", even though I love leather sheaths in a temperate climate. Leather sheaths work best with stacked leather/wooden handles. You can slather your sheath with all kinds of lovely oil/wax treatments, and if they hit your handle, they soak into it and preserve the handle too! Its a lovely Scandinavian virtuous circle. Kydex sheaths work best with synthetic handles. Where you only oil the blade, and you DONT want oils on your handle because they will only make it slippery. Setting my personal preferences aside, the Gough Custom knife and sheath, will not rot in the jungle, will not fail at -30 degrees, and if I had to bug-out tomorrow and only take one knife from my collection with me, it would be that one. And when I said that, I winced from the realisation of the knives I would leave behind. Gough makes perfect knives, at precisely the specification he advertises, and they are worth every penny.
I’d really like to thank you for sharing your considerable talent and skill with those of us who have a genuine interest in doing this for our knife collection.Having to ship off a knife to have a kydex sheath created is simply unthinkable for me especially living in Canada as the border crossing has developed into the Bermuda Triangle of knives.Again thank you for your kindness ,you’ve given me one more way to enjoy my blades
As an another (humble and less experienced) knifemaker i love to watch your videos for the calm precision you work with and the consistency of your results, which indicates the amount of time you spent trying different solutions and perfecting your procedures. Your approach is very scientific, totally dig it. Great work, keep it up!
I love that you added links for all materials, shows that you care about us a community and you want to see us succeed! Great sheath, some day I'll have one of your knives and a sheath to go with it!
Hi Aaron, I've been binging through your videos and I just wanna take the time to thank you for all the great information and effort you've put into your work. From the things I've learned, you make bladesmithing very approachable for beginners especially those on a budget. I look forward to more videos. Keep up the great work!
I cannot emphasize enough what a help you are to beginning knifemakers, Aaron. Vids like this are huge. Mad respect for the crispy clicking sound you’re getting upon retention. I’m 10 sheaths in, snd still can’t replicate it! Yours sounds like the shutting door of a luxury lexus sedan. Mine sounds like a honda civic door. Cheers! 👍👍
wow. I have been watching knife making videos non stop for the last 3 days. I just found your videos. Your work looks more like surgery than metal work. Its fantastic. so clean. Even your work environment. its amazing. Please keep making videos.
Very good video I especially liked the press you made. Had a pretty good chuckle at "Did you add the drain". I have an old drinking buddy in new Hampshire that is a smith that adds three drain holes at 90 degree increments to each other on his D2 hunting knives. I had to ask him about it because I didn't see the purpose but some folks prefer to wear a blade sideways across the belt. Some to look tacticool I suppose but others find it less intrusive. Having just bought some smaller EDCs I'm kinda leaning that way myself as they are more comfortable than my bushblades to carry around because they don't dangle like a tumor.
'Scout' carry (sideways carry) is definitely getting more popular. I would like to make a mounting option for my sheaths so they can be carried that way soon!
I think most of the time when I see it comes with a configuration for both by twisting the mount in different 90 degree locks. Not sure how that mechanism works.
The fact that you replied to every comment is stunning brother your work is amazing. I have a channel called (esta Manuel leather) and I hope I get half as a good as you
Thanks very much mate! It takes time but I think it's worth it to interact with lovely folks like yourself! Hope you're well mate, best of luck with your work!
looked at many video's for making kydex sheaths all very complicated but as with your knife making videos I've followed before, this is very simple and very easy to follow!! thank you.
I just want to stop by and say thanks for all you've done to help the new knife makers out there including myself. We would have a much harder time if it weren't for people like you!
Thank you sir. I was considering having someone make me a sheath for a Gerber knife I have and thought I would see what was available on UA-cam for a DIY Kydex sheath. Yours is the first video I watched and learned everything I need to know to get started. I am a UA-cam addict, and I can assure you, it is a rare thing to get enough information from the first video reviewed that no further research is required. Again, Thank you sir.
Clearly the best tutorial that I have seen so far for making sheaths. I have made 4 knifes so far and they are getting better each build but I have been intimidated by the leather sheath making process to get a result that is not as practical in the FIELD as Kydex. Drain hole, BRILLIANT.
that was pretty good. you were clear direct simple understanding and you didn't talk to much like some of these guys. lol. i like the drain hole and the thumb grip. its the little details. thank you taking the time and the great lesson.
Thank you Aaron, now I know why a Kydex sheath adds so much to the price of a knife - and that it's a fair charge for the work involved. - And I congratulate you on your clean, tidy, organised workshop. Respect.
Man im on my first year of knife sharpening with real interest. (hoping to move on to blacksmithing and metalurgy soon!) But i am so glad i came across your channel while looking into making sheathes! Keep it up bro!
Thanks so much for all your detailing and supply information. Often time we get diy videos but not much information where to find the materials you have not only provided us with great information but also where to find what is needed.
As always, intelligently and beautifully done. The devil is in the details - love the way the knife "snaps" into its nest. May you have all the success you have earned.
Thanks mate! Yeah the positive retention of the sheath without the need for straps or anything is probably the biggest selling point of this style of kydex... Really convenient to use in the bush!
Yay thank you. I'm going to try this. I'm a gardener and martial artist so I'm crazy excited about being able to make custom carry methods for tools. Leather seems too time intensive and I hate what happens when it gets wet. I also can't stand belt loops as opposed to clips. Kydex seems like the solution.
Great as ever bro. You don't remember me, but you already helped me before. After 3 years, I'm finally assembling my workshop. I warn you that I'll take your hints in consideration. It's awesome to see what share and how much you progressed since the first videos and . Thank you, very much.
Hey Aaron! I saw you commit into the private repo today, so I decided to write you about being kind and sharing your code with the world so that others can skip solving the problem that's already solved and concentrate on solving those, that are not. May RMS be with you. Also waiting for new videos.
Thank you very much! as usually the clearest tutorial out there! I understand you are in the Toronto area... my year in Canada is running out... up in Bobcaygeon, North of Peterborough! Making a living carving with axe and knife, doing custom leather gear, making knives and custom sheaths! can´t thank you enough for your help! cheers
Love the videos and the thought you put into your products. I wish my Resolute would have been here a little sooner. I went through a Buck and Kershaw knife while gutting my house thanks to the Louisiana floods. All is good, apparently it's time for another sharpening. Anxiously awaiting my Gough Custom delivery! I hope to take it on my son's first camping trip!
Thanks very much mate! I'm sorry you've had to wait for your knife... Working my butt off here to get it done, hopefully it will be ready soon! I will be sending out an email update soon when I get them back from heat-treatment.
I like fine steel wool for finishing kydex edges, leaves a very smooth but matte finish. If I ever buy a pair of jeans I'll try this out though! The bradpoint bit is a nice touch, I'll use those from now on. Thanks for the tutorial Aaron, informative as always.
I was just going to make a sheath for my new knife what are the odds you post this now! Thanks for the tutorial I've been making my sheaths similar but with a heat gun, a little more challenging to keep the heat consistent. I love the bamboo skewer idea and the little details you put like the grip for your thumb. Thanks for sharing great video!
This is a fantastic video pal, very informative and detailed. Been looking for a heavy duty solution for one particular knife and this might just do the trick. Thanks for posting, really appreciate the how to steps
Thank you Aaron, I found this to be very educational and enlightening. I'm looking into making my own kydex sheaths as I live in Australia and find it very difficult to find "kydexers" that are either local or do not require me to mail my knives to them for fitting. I am a huge fan of your work and hope to one day give you some business by means of one of your Resolute MkIII! Best of luck in your future endeavours and keep the great vids coming.
i must say your knives are pieces of art. so elegant and useful at the same time. could you please tell me how much a knive like this would probably cost?
+Samuel Scott i dont really think so... my old daddy once told me to never buy anything impulsively. think about what you want to get and if it seems right for you, get it. no matter of price
Hey David! Right now all my knives are the same price, USD$350. Later this year I plan to introduce some new handle/blade finish options that will give combinations that will be either a little less expensive or a little more expensive depending on your choices!

Is that a Australian accent you have there mixed with an American one
Would you make a custom sheath for my buck 119?
Thank you for this video. Even though it's 7 years old its still a great tutorial for someone that is getting into working with kydex.
Im stunned by the almost robotic perfection in the way you make your knives and sheaths. Brilliant.

really satisfying man, enjoyed it

Awesome mate, really glad to hear that! Thanks for the feedback!
Did you add the drain Aaron? DID YOU ADD THE DRAIN?
Haha, hmmm.... I think so?
Yan Doroshenko k
I want to know how many times you DIDN't put in the drain skewer before you wrote that on.
Probably at least 6-7 times!
Where you been? Last video 10 months ago?
I cannot emphasize enough what a help you are to beginning knifemakers, Aaron. Vids like this are huge. Mad respect for the crispy clicking sound you’re getting upon retention. I’m 10 sheaths in, snd still can’t replicate it!
Yours sounds like the shutting door of a luxury lexus sedan. Mine sounds like a honda civic door. Cheers! 👍👍
Really glad to hear my videos have been helpful mate! A big part of getting the best 'snap' is actually in the shape of the handle itself!
very therapeutic to watch you do this, even though I don't make knives lol
Thanks Jack, glad you liked it mate!
Excellent tutorial. Excellent workmanship!
hey buddy I've just started making kydex sheaths and my rivet setter is junk where did you get yours from? great work awesome videos
Hey mate! I got mine from KnifeKits.com, there's a link under the video!
Brilliant thank you 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Can I get a custom one made?
Your videos are the best. Your attention to detail and giving exact information is great
I've never had experience with it but kydex seems really satisfying to work with.
It can be very nice when everything is working! When something is not going quite right it can be very frustrating to work with!
I appreciate you guys that spend time teaching and go over every little step. You and Red Beard ops are my favorite channels.

what was the bucket under your belt sander full of?

@@GoughCustom that's a long time ago :) Glad you still doing knifes 👍🏻🔥
Excellent Aaron! Enjoyed the video and very good information in the section below. Keep up the great work my friend.
Thanks mate, will do my best!
God just wow!!! I wasn’t looking to make a kydex sheath but after watching this video that all I want to make. Best video ever!!!
you ever drop the sheathe into the catch bucket of water while using the sander? I bet that's fun to fish out lol
I don't think I've every dropped a sheath, definitely dropped blades and a ton of other stuff in there though!
Otium Borealis that would defeat the purpose of the bucket in the first place
Very rarely do I watch a how to video and have all my questions answered, but you did just that. Excellent video!

Thank you Aaron, I found this to be very educational and enlightening. I'm looking into making my own kydex sheaths as I live in Australia and find it very difficult to find "kydexers" that are either local or do not require me to mail my knives to them for fitting. I am a huge fan of your work and hope to one day give you some business by means of one of your Resolute MkIII! Best of luck in your future endeavours and keep the great vids coming.
Thanks very much for the kind words Geoff!
i must say your knives are pieces of art. so elegant and useful at the same time. could you please tell me how much a knive like this would probably cost?
uh for gods sake. knife....
+Samuel Scott i dont really think so... my old daddy once told me to never buy anything impulsively. think about what you want to get and if it seems right for you, get it. no matter of price
Hey David! Right now all my knives are the same price, USD$350. Later this year I plan to introduce some new handle/blade finish options that will give combinations that will be either a little less expensive or a little more expensive depending on your choices!
