as the Novatacs begin to arrive.what will you carry and store it in.

they are arriving slowly. but what will you carry and store it in,if anything at all.i was thinking of making a kind of silicon skin,made out of clear silicon.as this would allow me to use it in emergency without taking it out of the skin .post your suggestions.

I use a generic Swiss Army Knife pouch I got at REI. It once housed my HDS B42 which has been cleaned and put into storage in anticipation of my 85P being delivered. The hole in the new clip is interesting. I wonder if I can directly thread a lanyard chord through it?

Wednesday or Thursday is a loooooooooooooooong time away.

Heavy sigh...

Pocket or a Concealco SF100 holster.

CPFer "Kazu" also does some fine holster work!

BTW, Got an email from "the Hound" today, looks like my light started its journey to the rainy UK.

Geat link there cave dave! Personally, this will by my main EDC and will be deep in my pocket. I'm not worried about dings and scratches, it's a tool and meant to be carried and used.

you do have apoint there and it is noted.thanks

Those that collect designer knives will know about some of the gorgeous leather sheaths many sell with their knifes. Not belt sheaths, these are thin walled, buttery soft sheathes meant for pocket carry of a small folder, with or without pocket clip. They don't have a zipper or other fastener, the knife slips in from the open end and is retained by friction. They add very little bulk to the knife (or light) and keep your treasure from being scratched by coins or keys. They're not cheap, but I'm thinking about one of these if I decide to carry in my pocket instead of on my belt.

I don't have a link, but most of the sites with high dollar hand made collector knives will have them.

In the link I posted above there is a neoprene sheath that fits all these needs except the high price.

I already have my holster made by Kazu ready for it to arrive. He does nice work:twothumbs and very quick considering they come from Japan!!!

hivoltage.which one have you got,vertical or horizontal carry.cheers

I got a vertical....I figured the horizontal was a greater chance of falling out!!!!

AW is planning to offer a new run of his old HDS holsters:

Yes, Ripoffs is back in business - I forgot. About a year ago I was looking for a CO-192 because AW had run out. That is another good option. Not sure how easy it will be to find - I suspect Ripoffs is first replenishing stock on their more popular holsters (like maglites, cell phones, etc.)

Whi is AW and what does he sell........has anybody placed an order with ripoffs yet?
