Vintage Pocket Knife Pouches (?)
Vintage Pocket Knife Pouches
In my neck of the woods (rural Australia) 'Pocket' knives where more often carried in a belt pouch. I assume for easy access and security (loosing your knife would have been a big issue)
Whether it was common in other parts of the world I am not sure (?)
Anyone on here have pictures of older knife pouches??? I've circled the interweb and not a lot out there. And I am really not sure if they have changed in design over the years anyway.
I am about to make a Pouch for an old Camillus Camp/Scout knife and I thought it would be nice if I could use a design that suited the era of the knife - in this case maybe 1940's.
It also occurs to me that anyone with an older knife might also like a pouch to match in style the pouches that were available at the time.
Here are a couple I sourced from the web but I am hoping others may have some pics too, perhaps in vintage knife catalogs? And I like this Gerber pouch (maybe not particularly old) Note the way the loop for the belt continues on the be the front flap, I thought very clever. Derek

Thanks for taking the time to post.... interesting the old pouches & slips are very form-fitting whereas the modern take is wide and flat like the Knives Ship free style.

This is from the Remington C. 30 catalog with an example.

Two pocket slips and the sheath for my Buck 110, which I got for Christmas in 1976. I got the clasp top slip with a Sheffield corn knife at a flea market, not sure if they were originally together?
