All About Pocket Knives

So friend of mine asked me to make a belt sheath/case for his leatherman. And I quote nothing fancy just needs to work. So how'd I do folks?

Looks really good to me. But I think 'fancy' must be in your blood.

Very Good!!

Looks better than any sheath Leatherman ever offered. And they call their expensive Ainsworth sheath "premium". It's got nothing on your design!

While I prefer leather, I most use the nylon ones because they're easier to clean, and have extra pockets for the bit sets and other small tools I need to carry. They don't last as long. Lucky if I get a year out of most, except for models intended for MOLLE vests/equipment. They can be adapted to a regular belt by just changing how it's threaded through the loops on the back.

Beautiful work, that is the sheath of a craftsman.

I really like how the belt loop lets it sit down low. I hate belt sheaths up in my ribs ...

Thanks and couldn't agree more. I also hate the dreaded rib/side poke just seems wrong to me . I feel its a bit on the large side 3 inches wide and 5 inches high when its closed Thick goes just shy of 2 inches if you count belt loop everything. I could make them smaller by wet moulding the pouch but this way its easier to do the fancy tooling on it. and the liner. imo

Thanks Cody. Yes I can understand using nylon for sure. Kind words Cody Thank you. The Ainsworth is nice enough for sure and a reasonable price point imo for the leather used etc.
