Not exactly for airsoft but here is a hand made hardwood Maple knife with a custom plasma cut German spring steel blade and sheath (my dad makes the knives) I made the sheath and sewed it with senue. I fixed the photos haha their smaller now.

shrink the size of the pictures.

I need to get back into knife making, I need me a fine blade.

Plasma cutting is better than torch cutting on the heat treat, but be sure to cut it oversized and grind it to the final shape.

Yeah thats what my dad does, he makes alot of different hardwood knives, alot of them are exotic hardwoods, and are very hard to work with. He also builds exotic hardwood cedar chests here is a pic of one that is on ebay. It is exotic black walnut and maple I promise this is the last pic of this stuff, soon I'm going to buy some material to make my own gear too then I'll post some pics of them.

Well that's way to many posts to search through to see if someone can make P90 pouches for a molle vest, or a P90 sling pouch like this http://www.thevestguy.com/product.asp?id=10143 in a 3 mag or 4 mag configuration and any pricing you can PM me, thanks.

What do you use as a stiffener, if anything, to make the vest fit like a proper vest?

You can use foam, or cardboard. Be sure to bend up the cardboard so it isn't as stiff. Foam can be had at Tempe Sales, Broadway and mill in Tempe.

I usually by my foam from foambymail.com, but I buy in bulk.  For orders over $75.00 shipping is usually free.

camping mats at wallmart like six bucks, one roll can be cut for front and back panels
and if you ever play in the rain they don't retain water or deteriorate

Good looking stuff.


Here are a few things I've made:

This is just a general modular belt, with 1/2" foam in the middle, and non-slip rubber as a liner on the underside of the belt to keep the belt in place.




And a general use bag



Where can I get this non slip rubber? I dont care if its not adhensive backed.. Matt told me It is hypalon rubber but I have not been able to find it anywhere. Thanks.
