KYDEX Sheet
Notes: Easy to use, heat formable plastic sheet, perfect for knife sheaths. Impervious to just about everything. I like to use a heat gun to soften and form the plastic sheet, but a lot of people prefer to use an oven. DO NOT exceed 400 degrees.  Spend a few minutes reading the KYDEX Sheath Tutorial

Leather Sheath and Pouch Kits
If you're new to leatherworking, you might want to consider starting with one of these affordable sheath or pouch kits. They come precut with the hardware installed and only need binding and your decorative treatment. Kits include lacing and needle.  Both sheath and pouch kits are available in two sizes and although I won't tell you these are one size fits all, they do fit a surprising range of blade sizes.  Very easy way to try your hand at sheathmaking.
