Then take your eyelet, eyelet setter, and hammer, and get to work. Work on one eyelet at a time. Remember that the knife should be in the sheath as you do this. Without it, your Kydex may get deformed. Step 5: Trim the Kydex Leave the Kydex in the hydraulic press for about 5–10 minutes. When you take it out, the Kydex can still be a little flexible, but it shouldn’t be hot anymore.As with nearly every other holster material, there are different grades of Kydex materials. When you’re looking to buy Kydex for a particular project, it’s imperative that you pay close attention to its grade. Elevate your products’ design and create a better use case for your medical devices and diagnostic equipment. KYDEX® sheet products meet or exceed regulatory compliance and safety standards for hospitals, medical offices, and in-home use and are ideal for the following applications and more: Because of its ductility and toughness, KYDEX® Thermoplastic sheet laminated to MDF or particle board can be folded into boxes via miter-folding. Technical Brief 142-B provides guidelines on miter-folding KYDEX® Thermoplastic sheet. Can KYDEX® Thermoplastic sheet be thermoformed? KYDEX® 110and KYDEX® T are also suitable for medical equipment housings. Both pass the UL standard V-0 and 5V and are available in a wide variety of colors. Is KYDEX® sheet resistant to harsh disinfectant cleaners?

You can use any heat source to soften your Kydex sheet. To do this, I place my Kydex sheets on my electric grill. I leave it there until it softens enough for me to bend it around.Also, before you press, make sure the shiny sides of your Kydex sheets are on the inside of the sandwich. Keep the rougher sides on the outside. KYDEX® T– High impact fire-rated sheet that is less hygroscopic and usually does not require pre-drying. Offers more uniform forming with less wall thinning. Greater resistance to a broad range of corrosive chemicals and cleaning solutions.

While the Kydex is still hot, place it in your Kydex press (or makeshift press). Sandwich your knife in between the two hot pieces of Kydex and press! This will morph the flat sheets into the shape of the knife. What I do is cut two pieces of Kydex sheet, then attach them together to form the sheath. So cut two pieces a little bigger than the blade itself. Make sure you add some space for the eyelets as well. KYDEX® 100– Rigid, tough, durable, plastic alloy sheet available in a wide range of standard and custom colors, textures, and sheet sizes. It is Underwriters Laboratories® Inc. recognized for UL Std 94 V-0, 5V and has 961 J/m (18 ft-lbs/in) Notched Izod impact resistance. Again, making a Kydex sheath is a lot easier than you may think. It only takes 5 easy steps to do this. Step 1: Cut the KydexPut two layers of tape on the blade so that you don’t end up making the sheath too tight. If the sheath is too tight, you can end up scratching the blade and removing the coating each time you replace or remove the sheath from your knife. Then, cut off any excess tape from around the blade, trimming as close to the blade as possible.

When you first get ahold of Kydex, you might wonder how you are supposed to shape this. It is a hard material, one that you can’t bend easily.
