Hello, Thanks for this video but can you fit the belt loop please?

[@SugarcreekForge]

Alexander, I love your work. Someday I will buy a Hi-Tech Puukko and sheath just like that one from you. So well done!

[@fersizhayal]

Hello from Turkey. Great video and craft. Thank you friend.

[@bobbarker5884]

What are the screws and rubber washers you use to attach the stand off to the sheath?

[@poljaar]

Excellent styling! These look great.

[@quantumcreative175]

[@afonchenkoknives]

Thank you!

[@ericbrabham3640]

Impressive work.

[@atheeralobidy2343]

Thank you. May I know where to buy the plastic used in making the sheath?

[@williamgeorge5755]

Is there a drain hole to let water through?

[@eachday9538]

Beautiful lines, similar function to many other examples, but your design talent is obvious.

[@afonchenkoknives]

Thank you so much. I like this simple knife, and I often get it ordered. Nothing extra. And modern materials.

[@eachday9538]

I was referring to the sheaths, but yes the same applies to the knife!

[@HouseBladeDesign]

make a video on how you make your belt loops for your sheaths...they are nice looking

[@afonchenkoknives]

Will be soon, please stay on chanel.

[@SugarcreekForge]

I always love to see your work. Well done!

[@1blade02]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@cameronhay1829]

Good work man, the handles on those knives are so cool

[@afonchenkoknives]

Thanks

[@jimbeckum6570]

Oh by the way, great video, I can't get enough of them.

[@reesespieces5850]

Hey what is the press made out of? The inside material to allow it to mold to the knife shape?? Would love to make one but curious on how dense that should be.. Also curious of the brand of chuck on the drill press and if you like it or not. Been looking to buy a keyless chuck. All my others are jacobs.

[@blakeparthenay3049]

Man, your kydex work is next level... I guess i need more practice!

[@jimbeckum6570]

What it looks like to me, is that the bigger knife has an obvious divot in the handle which makes it click into the holster, upon watching the video a second time, it appears that the tight fit of the bolster on the green knife clicks it in the holster. Am I wrong?

[@250-25x]

Thanx for the vid man! I thought I had to get some new equipt in the shop to do Kydex, but I have it all here. I owe you! G>

[@TLip1980]

Brilliant video could you please tell me what your vice jig is made of and what do you call the bits you use in your drill to attach the rivets!? Cheers

[@afonchenkoknives]

Hi, i use yelet Flaring Dies - Master Series - #8 - (1/4) www.knifekits.com/vcom/product_info.php?cPath=41_526&products_id=633

[@afonchenkoknives]

Excuse me did not understand what you mean --- what your vice jig is made of

[@asd7959]

whats the name of the foam in the press? can you provide a link please

[@hectoro5144]

Hello Afonchenko! great knives that you make, I took a look at your website, I am looking forward to get one maybe for christmas! great work.

[@seanthad]

Halo Blade what is your website please.

[@ramohino]

Just subscribed. Great instructional video, I just made my first knife out 303 stainless (just cause I had a plate given to me). Anyway next is Kydex, but I am going to try black PVC just cause I have some laying around. Knife has cost me $12.00 so far, but tools cost $500.00. I already had must the tools. Going to make arbor kydex rivet press this weekend, I could of saved $50.00 if I would have watched this video before ordering press.

[@afonchenkoknives]

+Ramo's Vids Thank you.

[@zxarya5158]

Bonitas fundas, bonitos cuchillos y bonita gorra, saludos desde España .

[@charlesmorzo5149]

Can you make a Wakizashi knife with kydex sheath?

[@HouseBladeDesign]

how u holding the sheath together when cutting without rivets in them...what is the kydex thikness

[@afonchenkoknives]

i use 0.60 kydex. I use the screws to cut kydex, you can remove the screws when the sheath will be fully processed and put rivets.

[@TheOptimikko]

Nice work

[@Terminatorgaming123]

What is called this you put on kaydex on 5,8 min an 5,22min

[@jesus-brazilianarmy4558]

Nice work Man!

[@mrtkrs831]

Hi. PVC Where can I find. Is there a link?

[@EvilBearZax]

Александр! Классные ножи делаешь!!!

[@ConcealedCarryIWB]

Very nice work and excellent teaching video. Do you also do taco style sheaths?

[@afonchenkoknives]

Thank you! What a taco style sheaths?

[@maxs.5163]

your skills and equipment are growing up! this is not like old days, where you made all "on knees". By the way, what is the situation with green little knives in 440 steel?

[@Blaculo]

What brand and model of that green curved template? Really like the curves of your sheath.

[@robinlamb1185]

Well done, enjoyed the video.

[@sfbjr22]

What type of grinder is in the video. Don't believe I've seen this one before

[@afonchenkoknives]

Thanks, i use 60 grit belt.

[@iseskaz]

Did you make the leather belt loop attachment @ 7:35? If you bought them, Where can I get them?

[@afonchenkoknives]

+Ken Zarn Yes. It's my work.

[@toulane7172]

How much would you charge? I'm interested in one.

[@paulpaz4546]

This is the first time I've come across your videos and I really enjoyed it. I liked and subscribed, looking forward to more videos maybe even a knife purchase in the near future.

[@afonchenkoknives]

+Paul Paz Thank you.

[@toddchumbley1079]

great work ! I make taco style sheaths and have been having trouble with scratching . Any tips you could throw my way ?

[@maxs.5163]

sandblasting (stonewashed) blades have much more scratch resistant in this case.

[@Myneckofthewoods7]

Awesome work...like it a lot.👍👍👏👏

[@afonchenkoknives]

Thank You.

[@Myneckofthewoods7]

@@afonchenkoknives where can purchase one of this knives... I got you notification from you lates video. And I really like you work.

[@phirunseng1097]

Hello! Can you please tell me about ur drill press?

[@afonchenkoknives]

Hello, this is an ordinary drilling press. I bought special Rivet Flaring Die Set , they are easy to install. I use a drill press as a Rivet Flaring Press. www.knifekits.com/vcom/holster-sheath-making-eyeletrivet-tools-c-41_526.html

[@costelrusu9025]

How much would you charge me for one of each one of these knifes?

[@ДжейсонБорн-у4т]

Александр, а что за малыш=красавец? Не видел у Вас такого ранее

[@danjennings6817]

Great job!

[@ShelleyRaskin]

Were you using a drill press as an arbor press or was that an arbor press?

[@afonchenkoknives]

+Shelley Raskin Hello. I'm sorry for the wait. I am using punch Diamond. I clamp it in a drill press and a puncture hole. this is the best choice.

[@RustyGunn7]

Shelley Raskin Its a drill press. Neat idea.

[@fac3th3wolf]

I like the sheaths. I am interested in making a sheath for an upside down carry on my back. How did you get your knives to "click" into place?

[@afonchenkoknives]

This requires an explanation in practice. It is necessary to show how this works, it is important that the knife and sheath work in pairs. Not every knife can make a sheath of kydex.

[@rildoturibio9200]

Perfect 👍

[@user-nk9tu7kv6]

Very very good

[@afonchenkoknives]

Thanks

[@walterqueen9604]

A "Taco" style is folded over and eyelets attached on one side only.

[@matthewhoward4549]

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 !!! I wish blade manufacturers would give you a choice between Kydex for kids or a leather sheath for all blades over $200 ... the leather would be an optional extra (higher cost) ...

[@jnjr45]

A knife is a tool, if you don't want to scratch it, put your knife in a display case and mount it on your wall... I use the same theory on my handguns.. they are tools.
