Sooooo... Long story short, I locked myself out of the house yesterday evening, but luckily had the garage open and was able to create a scout carry sheath for my Mora while I waited for my fiancee to come home and let me in
I picked up the Mora off a outdoor/survival site for $12 and am very happy with it. It's already seen it's fair share of work and, surprisingly, the blade is still polished.
Blocking for a knife is a huge PIA compared to blocking for a handgun. So I didn't make a weep/drain hole until after the sheath was pressed. I did so by heating the edge with a heat gun and sliding my center punch in between the kydex. Then I formed it with my gloves. It's not very pretty, but it is extremely functional.
This morning I added my Condor iPouch, which contains a small firekit and more cord. I tested out the Coghlan's Fire Sticks in my fire pit and they work very well. The mora does have one issue out of the box. The spine is not sharp enough to make globs of sparks with a fire steel. So, I'll be modifying that soon.
