I make my own Leather sheaths and holsters...
I thought I would share another talent of mine besides spending money on Flashlights.
I make my own leather goods. All of these have been hand designed, scissor cut from a large hide, hand stitched and stained. I have also have made custom ones for co-workers and friends.
First we have here the one that I made for one of my (work) EDC, the Surefire 9N. The holster has three snaps in a triangular fashion, pivoting in the middle, that I can rotate it 360 degrees and lock it in at 90 degree increments. This lets me carry the Flashlight vertically or horizontally. Face it forward to use as a walking light or reverse with a red filter as a tail light.
I can even invert it to see my shoes or feet if I care to. There is even a notch in the back for the pant belt loop to prevent it sliding along the belt.
This next sheath is for my Schrade PH2. I have looked high and low for this knife many years ago for I liked the shape and style. This holster is one of my panicle leather making career ones. This is a horizontal only carry for right hand use, since I am right handed. I have this right in front and it is very tight against the body. No bending restriction of it poking me in the front or side or..? The unique thing on this holster is that I placed two flat rare earth magnets within the sheath that gives the knife a smooth friction fit. The magnets are covered so that they do not scratch the blade and are strong enough that they can hold the knife in place inverted without the retainer strap. The back side has three strips to insert the belt through. The pant belt loop can be placed between them to prevent it from sliding along the belt.
Next is the one for my Emerson/Neeley SPECWAR knife. The slots on the tip of the sheath are for a leg strap or invert shoulder carry. This too can be carried vertically on the belt or horizontally in the back. My design was to keep it tight against the body should you wear it on the back belt line. The two silver dots are screws that can secure this sheath to other leather straps, change the carry angle or secure it to other gear.
This one is for my Cold Steel Magnum Tanto II with San Mai blade. Right hand, vertical only and very tight to the body.
Necklace style carry or vertical belt. Pictures will explain. They both are ambidextrous and can be carried inverted, necklace style or use the belt loops for vertical belt carry. The folder is a Cold Steel w/San Mai Blade and the red handled one is a Klein wire stripper knife. Close up ones of the Cold Steel shows how the knife can be turned as well as the retaining strap. Notice the sheath looks like it is shaped for a double edged knife. That is made to accommodate the knife in either direction.
For the H&K P7M13 9mm Semi-Auto. The top one is for inside the pant carry. It has a coating between the layers to prevent or reduce body moisture soaking through. The other is for small of the back carry.
The SIG P226 9mm ambidextrous leg holster with one magazine pouch. Notice the magazine pouch can be opened from both sides. The strap can be reversed also.
Colt Combat Commander Enhanced 45ACP inside the pant.
I already have some SPECIAL design holsters for Flashlights in mind and I am waiting to receive my HDS U60 to make it. You ougt to see the ones I made for my Benchmade Bali-Song and my Swiss multi tool. Y'all not ready for those yet.
I am an Electrician by trade and I have made the ULTIMATE tool pouch. I call it my tool system. No one has one like it and one must appreciate the electrical trade and leather work to its fullest to really understand its design. Do I dare show it?? I even made a cordless drill cross-draw chest holster for an ex co-worker. I have too see if I can still get a hold of him for a picture.
No special request at this time. I am not ready.
I just thought I would waste your time again.
Njoy…
