Broke My EDC, Can Someone Help Me Find A Replacement? I've been carrying this spring assisted Kershaw as my EDC literally every day for the past 4 years. It's small, effective, and inconspicuous. I absolutely love it! However, I was in a rush the other day and it accidentally got thrown in the washing machine, which caused the blade to be bent and the tip to be broken off... big sadness.
When I look online for a replacement, I can only find much larger or smaller versions of this knife. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? Or a knife of similar quality, size, and function as an EDC?
Thanks

You can always go to knifekits.com and buy a replacement spring and fix it. That’s what I did with an axis-lock Benchmade auto.
I've got way too many cutting/chopping things laying around that need to be protected. Looks like it's time to learn how to do Kydex forming. You folks have any "go to " suppliers and "how to" articles to share? I think it would be the cats meow to cover some axes I have.

I watched a few YouTube videos and order the supplies from knifekits.com
Anyone ever made there own Kydex holster? I'm looking to make myself one. I've watched some tutorials and read some forums and such, but does anybody have any tips or suggestions?

I built my own press for one and I buy all my supplies from knifekits.com they sell everything required to do it
Hello everyone, thank you for the add. I am new to this but I have made a couple of holsters and sheaths before so and I feel ready to start doing this at home. Any recommendations on press design and a supplier for press foam.
Thanks for the add. First post on here. I'm just getting into holster making with kydex and I have a question. Where is the best place to order kydex and hardware from?

Index fasteners is by far the best, IMHO. Ifithermoplastics.com I've never tried diyholster.com, but I hear they're good. Don't waste time with knifekits.com or rcholstersupply.com
Where do you get the bits to take off pocket clips and remove handle scales, on the spyderco delica they look really small like t-3 or t-2. I've checked all of the local hardware stores and can't find anything
Can anyone recommend a good kydex person? Im in need of a sheath for a machete, not looking to spend a fortune just looking to step up from the crappy nylon it came with...
