I usually prefer kydex myself.
Phil, toaster oven, heat gun, laser Temp reader and even clamping is your friend.
Riveting layout and shaping is where a good sheath stands out from the rest. You'll get the hang of it.

Very true.
Although I have a toaster oven which I use for tempering blades, I will attempt something different heating the Kydex. I will try an electric griddle and check the temp with my laser reader. I know that some sheath/holster makers use that method...
