Maker Knife Mods: CNC Machined Faceplate + Kydex Sheath -
I love my Maker Knife, but as a maker I naturally want to tweak and personalize my experience with it. In this video, I'll go over how I designed, machined, and (poorly) anodized custom faceplates for my Maker Knife. I'll also show my process for creating a low cost Kydex sheath.
PS: The faceplates were machined back in mid 2019, but it didn't feel like a worthwhile/complete project to share until I had the sheath. That's why I reference some cnc lessons learned from months after the faceplates were made, regarding SFM. 1/4" cutters generally leave nicer surface finishes than smaller diameter tools.

This is so cool! Thank you for making this awesome video!!! I really enjoyed it! I tried the holster and felt SO GOOD!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I enjoyed seeing your process. Your Voiceover is very informative as usual and the hidden humor is perfect. I really want to use Kydex for something now.
Seeing it in person has actually kept me up at night trying understand how you made it. Great work and hope to be reunited with it again in the future (aka in 2 months)
Your chin clamp technique at 8:05 was perfectly executed 10/10 😁

I have too much pride to ask anyone else in the shop for help. 😅
Great work! Kydex is now on my list of things to try. Thanks for the video.
Great job, I appreciated being able to see this in Atlanta!
I have both gen 1 and current gen knives and I totally agree with your gripe re:closing, although I don’t think that the current gen really addressed it well Enough. I’ve been thinking of adding something to the inside face of the ring to build it up. Your solution is much better.
Great video. Even I'd like to look into anodizing. BTW. I love the small projects that come out of this channel.
good god those desktop tool path times! ooooof
Great video. Well explained as always. Nice design and fabrication. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Great stuff!
I love your videos 🥰
That is super cool!
That little pocket is where you put your salary after Tax!!! 🤣
For the whole video I was thinking, Giaco needs to see this... :)
Thanks for the video.
Very good job, i want one 😉
nice work.
Those screws look like the type used to hold indexable carbide tips on lathe tools.

Can you share the DXF or should we reach out to Giaco individually? This has been on my todo list since I received mine, I just haven't gotten around to drawing it up.. the DXF would make it easier.

Holy snykies need stronger spindle. I burned my first one out on my chinese machine. Im going to go with a router with that cool spindle chip that evens out power distribution.
Remind me not to wear my PJ's when you're filming.....
