How to Attach a Belt Clip to a Kydex Sheath

Kydex is the "do everything" plastic for the hobbyist. Strong enough to hold the heaviest handguns and knives, yet it's lighter and thinner than any other holster and sheath material. Kydex easily bends and shapes to the correct size when heated in a consumer oven. It can be cut, drilled, sanded and molded into any shape, and is sweat, heat and dirt proof. Adding a belt clip to a DIY kydex knife sheath only takes two or three minutes.
