Holster/Sheath/Pouch for Haiku and LS20 - NOT for hanging on my belt!

[heckboy]

Hello all.

I will sometimes drop my Haiku or LS20 in my EDC bag when I pack for the day. I've been using my stingray hide AOTH holester for this, however, the holester is just too bulky for the little man-purse (old shaving kit bag) that I haul stuff around in. Also seldom belt carry the light so 95% of the time the holester is superfluous. The other option, to toss the light in naked just seems wrong. You should see what my camera looks like as a result of that behaviour!

I'd like to protect the light from the banging around in the bag (or should I say protect the stuff in the bag from the light?). What I'm looking for is a simple sheath made of thin leather that I can slip the light into for protection while transporting it. The sheath shouldn't have any belt attachment portrubences and I really want it to be leather not cordura or fabric. Search is not yielding anything for my purposes.

Does anyone have any pointers? I know I could go to a tack shop and likely find someone that would make a simple sheath, however, I was hoping to find something suitable off-the-shelf.

Regards,
Kevin

When not in a AOTH Holester, my lights reside in a S2 nylon pouch from TAD Gear. Perfect for Haiku, LS20, SunDrop, PD-S, Mule and similar sized lights.

If you ever want to part with your AOTH holster I would love to have one for my LS-20.

Matt (AOTH) also makes a slide (holster). It doesn't have a clip or a belt loop plus the back has the same hide as the rest of the slide. Here's a link to a picture of the back of a Green Shark Slide (Here's the front).

Cheers,
Steve

An ex-girlfriend of mine used to carry her camera around in a thick cotton sock. It looked funny but protected the camera well. It should work well for the LS20 also, at least until you find a more permanent replacement.

I think you might also like this leather holster from AKJ CONCEALCO. Here's a review of the SF100, it's the size that a Ti PD-S would fit in.

Andrew does superb work at very low prices. At one time, he was backed up 4-6 weeks, but the sheath is worth the wait. If you email or phone him, he might make one to your specs for a small additional cost.

Both tadgear and EDC knives are the best of the best to deal with.

Wow, those are some pretty good options. This is what I'd like to have except for a light rather than the Sebenza. I may have to reconsider the cordura pouch option because they are quite economical.

The sock is a good idea. That led me to consider cutting the fingers off some old work gloves to use for a flashlight sheath. I'll let you know what comes of this.

Later,

The TAD cordura nylon pouch is ideal for storage.
Economical, light, extremely durable and washable.
Can be attached to the belt or a bag.
Equally useful for extra batteries, a Sebenza or other knife.

Thanks for that link. This is just what I was looking for. :thumbsup:

You could put it in a Adjustable Evidence Tube I use them for batteries as well :twothumbs

How does one acquire a AOTH holster?.....went to his website and it looks as if he's on to making other projects/not taking orders..?

Try to send Matt an email: [email protected]
He is a very nice guy to talk to.

Well, it's not leather, but it is small and inexpensive:

I have a couple on order based on an earlier thread.

Cool, those should work well.

Here is the earlier thread with some pictures.
