Bro that is amazing

[@JohannSwart_JWS]

Great result! I never used to like Kydex too much - too plasticky, but this technique kinda sells it better. Love hand made leather sheaths. Especially yours. All the best!

[@RedBeardOps]

Thanks Johann!

That’s a classy package, James! You have to be happy with how that turned out! Speaking of classy packages, I’m wearing one of your RBO Texas hoodies today. It’s great quality and super comfy, too. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to take a bit of RBO with you wherever you go. Cheers dude 👍🏻

That sheath turned out great! I haven't done any taco sheaths with kydex. I'll have to give that a try. I love the look of the leather and kydex combo. Thanks for posting! Seems like I always walk away from one of your videos with something new to try.

[@RedBeardOps]

Thank you greatly David! Glad you enjoyed this one. I like the way it turned out too!

[@Reploidx9]

That black/brown two-tone sheath looks banging. What is the slimmest you could make a sheath, in reference to a knife? I just find kydex sheaths seem a bit wide for my liking and a slimmer version would be totally my thing.

[@RedBeardOps]

I think you can get away with around 1/2'' away from the blade on the eyelets I normally go 6/8ths

[@drmikeyb1]

I would love to have one of those sheaves, this is the first time I've seen this channel so I apologize if I'm asking a question I've missed. Do you sale those type of sheaves I have way more fixed blades than anything and I scout carry but that's the first time I've seen leather and kydex together. Beautiful job. Please let me know thanks

[@RedBeardOps]

Thanks Mike! Glad you enjoyed the build. I do not make sheaths custom order.

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

I like the hybrid look of that sheath, the contrast between the two materials turned out really well. Have you tried coffee darkening yet? I just got done experimenting with it on a mirror polish blade and now it looks like hot bluing on a fancy bolt action. I attacked it with some steel wool and the finish didn't rub off, I actually had to hit it with a 1200 grit belt sander to get it back down to bare metal, so it seems pretty durable too.

[@RedBeardOps]

Very nice! I haven't given that a go yet, but want to with some damascus

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

@@RedBeardOps It's definitely a nice effect on damascus, especially crucible steel!

[@ryuukake]

I was going through a junk box and I found an old trophy with a marble like base. It’s smooth, flat and only has a small hole in the center. Do you think that would make a good sanding block?

[@RedBeardOps]

I bet it's worth a shot! A good place for a surface plate would be a granite shop. They'll normally give away the sink cut outs

[@waynestinyworld]

Question... After seeing you long ago mention your Wen drill press, I changed my mind from the HF one I was going to get and bought the Wen. Love the Wen. It's made much better. Thanks. My question is, do you have any input or thoughts on the Wen portable band saw? It will either be Wen or Bauer for me. Still thinking that one over. What do ya think?

[@RedBeardOps]

Hey Wayne, I haven't tried the WEN bandsaw, just he Bauer. I will say the Bauer has done a great job for me!

[@waynestinyworld]

[@patsyweiser3570]

Hey mr Keeton. i just bought some 1084 and was wondering if it rust or not. and if it does is there any way that you can prevent that from happening. Thanks

[@RedBeardOps]

It will rust for sure. To prevent rust you must clean and oil your blade after use. Many oils will work.

[@patsyweiser3570]

@@RedBeardOps i sure do appreciate it

[@marktabor4415]

Nice video as per usual. question; how do you get the old (cheap eyelets out?)

[@RedBeardOps]

Hey Mark, I didn't crush/close those eyelets. They're just in there with friction.

[@marktabor4415]

@@RedBeardOps ohhh, i see.. thank you Sir. I just shopped at DIY Holster on your suggestion

[@RedBeardOps]

@@marktabor4415 You won't be disapointed. The quick clip eyelets crack when I use the arbor press and the DIY Holster eyelets haven't cracked once on me!
