My hest has developed a pretty noticeable rattle and I've already tightened the screws a good bit. Is there an easy way that I can heat the kydex and mold it a little better around the knife? Thanks.
I heated up a Grayman sheath one time and then just inserted the knife and pressed it hard around it (using a towel to shield the heat). I used the oven. Like 5 minutes or so at 300. Not sure if that would work.
I bought a leather sheath for my HEST from armoralleather and that thing is sweet. I love it.
I never thought of a leather sheath. Can you post pictures of that? I might want one.
I'll post a pic up later today. I've been promising to do it for a while now.

Wow! That temp is WAY to high. You'd only put it in at 175 and if it's just a small spot you want tighter you're better off using a heat gun to just heat that one spot. If you put the whole thing in the oven you'll NEVER get it right again.
Or you can just order a new one.
Yep. That temp is way too high. Ask me how I know.
I guess since I fudged my sheath up I need to order a new one. Where can I get it?

Aye aye aye. I'm not sure. Depends on whether you're looking for kydex or leather.
I was hoping that I could just order another from you guys. (kydex) Can I order just the sheath?
