I didn't know which forum to put this in since it involves a few topics.
I currently carry my spare 26 mag in my left front pocket. Its in there alone but its never in the same spot and often gets lint in it.
My first goal is to create a holster for my mag. So i checked some DIY kydex holsters. Seems really simple.
At the same time, I need to upgrade my knife. I was looking at the Ka Bar TDI or similar small fixed blade knives.
My ultimate goal is to make a pocket kydex holster to hold both my mag and knife in place.
First question. Does anybody know of any knock-off brands that make a similar knife to the small TDI. I'm sure the quality won't be the same, but if my idea doesnt work, I do not want to own an expensive knife that stays in a drawer or safe.
Also, when forming the kydex around the magazine I'd imagine I would like a cartridge to be in the mag since most of the bullet protrudes from the loaded mag. I want the mag to fit securely and cleanly. I'm worried about heating the kydex over a magazine with a round in it. Is that a Darwin of The Year Award waiting to happen?
Thank you,
Derek
