Many colors including camo and leather look, and sizes available on Ebay along with rivets (grommets) if that's your desire. Personally I prefer a standard rivet (like in the Irwin saw sheath) over the grommets as they take less space. Lacing with the right type of lace looks good as well.

Interesting - is this stuff tough enough for a decent-sized saw? (I sometimes carry a Corona 21" hand saw - needs a sheath).

Super, super easy to work with like Butthead showed.
Just the smallest amount of tooling and you'll be making Kydex sheaths for everything you own.

Grizzly outdoors. Be prepared for a wait of 4-8 weeks though.

It is a thermoformed plastic that cools to good rigidity. Yes it would work well, very popular for firearm holsters.

Find the suppliers. Keep in mind it comes in different thicknesses for a reason.

Anyone know a source for kydex for these axes? Leather is worn and thinking kydex would last longer.
