Making a Better Knife Sheath - With 3D Printing?

[@DonaldGregerson]

Very cool !

[@michaels7499]

I enjoyed this presentation and you do a great job job explaining everything.

[@v10climber]

Great seeing this process! Thanks for all the behind-the-scenes content TJ!

[@billclancy4913]

I just realized I've been listening to your podcast!

[@wingardwearables]

Really interesting video and I appreciate how you walk thru your processes and perspectives

[@SpareSpacesuit]

that knife with the leather sheath is so cool, i like that your dad makes the sheath. ill have to order one in the near future!

[@davidheath2427]

Love that blade. And the updated sheath. Great work .

[@donaldyata3390]

this video is fascinating your knowledge and experience with cad file designing is way above my pay grade and it is very entertaining to watch you come up with these ideas.

[@chareric]

Keen to try it!!! Would you recommend any other clips to try also ?

[@PhyllisLiao]

Cool video TJ. I’m looking forward to my Overland knife👍

[@Tripplcross]

Absolutely awesome video. I ordered an overland sport last week and can't wait for it to come in. Thanks, TJ! Great work!

[@tj.schwarz]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@scottcook9260]

TJ I enjoy watching your work your a bad ass

[@Robert-ko6wr]

Ok. This is so next level. It’s like a master class in Kydex crafting and experimenting. The knife itself is so well thought out. Home outdoors and in the kitchen. Fine work here young man AND I can get a leather sheath. Excellent video in every way.

[@par8291]

I want that exact set up!!

[@Scablands_Scavenger]

Randomly stumbled into your channel today. First, that is a sweet looking knife, looks like it would be great for cleaning game/fish and tailgate kitchen use! Using a 3d printer for blocking is something I would love to explore, great insight! I don't know if you have figured a press out but I use two that I made with a simple 2x6 lumber frame and an RV jack.... it allows you to apply pressure with one hand almost instantly keeping the kydex from cooling down for best definition. I use a cheap T-shirt press for heat. If you ever want an even more smoothed edge, after you sand with paper you can use a scotchbrite pad as a finisher, it will be almost as smooth as a buffing wheel when wet sanded, the grey ones are pretty slick.

What's better than getting a unique knife and kydex sheath from an obsessive compulsive genius? ... T.J., all kidding aside - you are the Man!

[@davidmiller1938]

My son recently ordered me an Overland Sport and I’m getting pretty excited watching your videos while awaiting delivery. I’d have already ordered an Overland but I’m afraid my wife would have a fit 😩

[@tj.schwarz]

Thanks so much for your support! Oh, and I can ship with discreet packaging lol

[@saltyexxer8253]

I wonder if it would be feasible to print the kydex part? Obviously it wouldn't be kydex, but maybe a carbon fiber or fiberglass infused media?

[@khunter2132]

really cool video dude! very interesting on your thought process and innovation of mounting the clip w/o scratching the blade. I placed an order for a knife last week, cant wait to get it. I have heard nothing but good things about your products and designs!

[@billclancy4913]

I've been putting two of those loops on my sheaths, one on either side of the handle...like some holsters.

[@Oryx_custom]

That’s awesome, you describe everything in easy way 👌🏻

[@tj.schwarz]

Glad you think so!

[@shannonspence4183]

Excellent video and great design 👍 I’m looking forward to ordering one in April 🍻

[@TTHCLove167]

Which ulti clip do u recommend for pocket carry of the confidant? I wear overalls in the fall, winter and early spring.

[@Stormin_Norman]

That Kydex sheath looks really nice and clean ..

[@RyGuy_1776]

Saw this on your Instagram and loved the placement immediately. Good job placing it in line with the handle. I think thats the perfect placement as well. Super cool and I love those brass eyelets!

[@duanejones5186]

Very nice!

[@walterreynolds8527]

Nice design. Would you be offering this kydex offering in a Left hand model?

[@cnc-ua]

Thank you for the video of whole process Very encouraging

[@Luc1dRock]

Wouldn't mind having a leather pocket sheath for the Overland Sport I have ordered and a leather scout carry for the Confidante I will be ordering.

[@panganaranga]

Hey TJ, if you want to push the fit and finish a little. Get a 0,1inch leather edge beveler and run the edges with it. Will give the product a more precise finish.

[@BalticBlades]

great quality content easy to listen and very clear!

[@bobinmontana777]

Perhaps you could consider a hex nut shape for the inside dimples. Then you could just screw into the nuts.

[@AWAG_FK]

I dig your design approach, TJ. Quick question… I’ve had trouble with grit from the grinder belts getting stuck inside the sheath. It scratches the knife every time it goes in and out. Have you ever had that problem? I need to up my Kydex game and get one of those resin printers like yours too. Thanks again for sharing your processes on YT. I’m definitely going to stay tuned.

[@calebcrews21]

Awesome video! Couple questions. Is there a specific filament or resin your using with the printers? Also have you considered just trying to print the holster altogether?

[@sierraecho884]

Maybe some input for improvement, tell me what you think. 1. Instead of using big open rivets, use smaller rivets and place them closed to the blade, this way you can decrease the size of the sheath 2. Instead of screwing the clip at an offset like that use a 4x retention system where you use 4 of the rivet heads to attach the clip. You can 3D print the clip or mock ups of it, this way changing the clip is easier and you can try out more designs faster

[@Mazeingpower]

Leather sheath with pocket clip lets go

[@NikosLynch]

stellar content!

[@briancarlson3703]

Great video. I’ve been looking at ways to mount different attachments to my sheaths and love this idea. Now I have to buy more equipment 🥴 #bc_blades

[@rshotty9039]

Really late to the party, but I used to use a set of sex bolts to put the two halves together to cut and sand everything super even and perfect as if it's eyeleted already. then you can take it apart the finish and clean out the sheeth. then I eyelet everything. I have commitment issues
