In all seriousness there are a lot of applications where I don't care for Kydex . Just for openers , it scratches the hell out of furniture . It has it's applications , and can be inexpensive to produce ; that said , it's got limitations too . One annoying feature is that it's rather noisy , both on the draw , and in wear . Deffinately not a good attribute in holsters , and some tactical light carries .
I'm an amature student of material science , and sometimes I play around with stuff just for the hell of it .
