Al Mar type soft leather knife slips...Sources??

[DDS]

I have been trying to find a source for the ultra soft dark brown leather slips that Al Mar provided with their folders. I have older folders that I purchased in the 1980's that were supplied with these nice buttery soft slips. I like them much better than my Chris Reeves pouch for my Mnandi. I have emailed Al Mar many times without a reply. Does anyone know who might have made these pouches for Al Mar or any possible sources? Thanks! Dave

I use a William Henry slip w/ clip for my Mnandi. I wish I could help you out with the Al Mar ones.

To piggy back on TKC - William Henry has both the knife slips & clip pouches.

I to carry my mnandi in a slip case with clip, definitely the way to go.

DDS,

I'm not sure what the old Al MAr slips were like. Possibly like these?

The oxblood ones are very soft...

Have fun,

I use the WH sheaths too but the Al Mar's are so soft and mold to the knife. It doesn't feel like there is a sheath in your pocket. I use mine to carry my vintage Victorinox in my left pocket and my clip knife in my right pocket.

tom2: I'll check out the Oxblood product.

Thanks again! Dave
