I don't have a kydex holster or sheath.

If I had any talent at all I would attempt to make a kydex sheath for one of my fixed blades.

I have always wanted to buy a kydex shaping machine, it looks like so much fun.

A lot of fixed blades have kydex sheaths instead of leather.

I cannot think of anything clever to say about kydex. I love all of my kydex holsters and sheaths. It is easy to get it too hot and melt it into a globex though.

My favorite EDC knife has one clip point blade and one spear point blade on it.

"A spearpoint knife is a great choice for the knife enthusiast who is looking for a good balance between piercing and slicing ability. It combines the sharp point of a dagger with the strength of a drop point blade, while maintaining some of the "belly" that is used for slicing."
