Can somebody explain to me, in normal-people terms, why it’s so hard these days to get a decent Kydex sheath made for something that isn’t a current mass‑production knife? I get that it’s more work and not as profitable, but it still seems weird how many places just won’t touch it.
For context, I just got my second custom Kydex sheath from Hawg Holsters and I’m seriously impressed. The fit is super clean, retention is great, and the knife slides in and out really smoothly. John made a sheath for my Randall Model 16‑7 after I’d spent about a year trying to find anyone willing to do it, and he also nailed one for my 1986 pre‑production Al Mar SERE knife. If you’re trying to get custom Kydex done for uncommon or vintage knives, Hawg Holsters in Scottsdale (hawgholsters.com) is who I ended up using.”
