This is a Journeyman series eyelet flaring die and guide combo. With a light tap of a hammer you can easily flare holster and sheath making eyelets (sometimes called, "Kydex rivets") to make a professional rolled eyelet finish for your custom holster, or other fastening application. These tools create a beautiful rolled effect on the unfinished side of the eyelets (not included) as they bind. The Journeyman die guide features (2) guide holes for the flaring die and setter. It also includes (4) 3/16 inch holes to securely mount the die guide base to your workbench. The CKK eyelet setter and die guide are the industry standard for professional sheath and holster making and can be found in holster maker's workshops around the world.
