Unfortunately, the larger 4 inch Nixie are not longer available anywhere in the world. These tubes were made 25 years ago. Since there is renewed interest in utilizing Nixie tubes for numeric display, one can still get smaller tubes made by Russian and US companies. For example the still available Russian IN18 circa 1965 tube shown on the site. (These are 2.75 inch tubes)

"How about you do away with the Velcro and go to sewn in magnets? - Mark"
Well, what happens when you have a pouch with strong magnets as the replacement for Velcro on your belt.. and you have your wallet full with credit cards located in close proximity to the magnetic flux? Some people will have their wallet in the front pant pocket. When sitting, the wallet will be very closed to the pouch exposing to the flux depending on how the user will wear his pouch. (You will end up with partial to complete erasing of data on the magnetic strip on the credit card. Now how you going to borrow from the banks to pay for goodies during this holiday session? ) [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Re: Finally, a very Nice Carrying Pouch for Lion H
Amorphous, is there a material/protective backing behind the metal snap thats attached to the body of the pouch? The material would be between the back of the metal snap and the Lionheart. The Leatherman sheath I bought had the snap exposed which would scratch the LH everytime it came out and went into the sheath.
I'd really like to see a horizontal carry option also.

I was busy last night making our Nengajo (Japanese New Year's card) and didn't check the forum [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I am definitely interested if you do another run.

The button is behind another layer of matterial, and will not touch or scratch the body of light being carried. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Re: Finally, a very Nice Carrying Pouch for Lion H
Thank you everyone for the purchase.
I've packed and shipped all 50 this afternoon, and SilverFox was number 50. For those after SilverFox ( on Page 2) your item will be ship next week. I have ordered another 50. This will be the last batch, so if you are interested, please let me know.
Re: Finally, a very Nice Carrying Pouch for Lion H
Ray,
If these are being custom made for your order, could I suggest the following. As theses are going to be primarily used by people for the LH, and I do agree that a huge velcro strip is a PITA, a small one like the one in your photos IMHO is not. My suggestion would be to lower that small piece to the bottom of pouch to accommodate LH application of the pouch. This would act a two stage flap lock, small velcro patch at the bottom of the flap and the button clasp at the top. This would also prevent the flap from curling up just below the button clasp over time.
Re: Finally, a very Nice Carrying Pouch for Lion H
Quick update, I was told shipment will come in by Monday or Tuesday Next Week.
So far, I am counting 26 out of 50 prepaid at this point on this second batch. Any additional will start from 27.
Wow, I was not expecting this at all. Now Charlie, look at what you have done!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Matthew,
Thanks for the suggestion.. unfortunately, I was not able to change the order due to the small quantities. I've tried.
Anyway, for the money, I think its not perfect, but pretty good.
Thanks again. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
