Need ideas for a pen wallet.

[fast14riot]

Ok guys, I would like a small wallet for my most used pens and pencils. I have 4 that are always used and I don't like to leave them laying out on my bench because things like this disappear. I don't care if it is either leather or kydex, but I would like it to be reinforced so the pen/pencil bodies aren't providing the rigidity. It would need to be custom because of the 4 there are 3 different size bodies and 2 different lengths. Any ideas?

I could make my own from leather, but have very little experience and this is why I need ideas. I don't have the equipment or materials for kydex, so it would have to be sent to someone.

Has anyone done something similar before?

There's a few guys around here that do amazing work in both departments. If you don't mind sending those pens to them for a short time, I'm sure they can turn something around for you. I don't think I can suggest actual names, because it may be against the rules, but just look around. If you email me, I'll throw a couple names your way to take a look at. If I were you, I'd get the pen wallet with some sort of pocket clip or "paddle" with it. Clip it to your belt, pocket, shirt pocket, etc.

yeah I am familiar with the process, but I have no idea on what styles to ask for. I am interested in seeing what has/can be done for this type of thing. I am thinking of more for environmental protection of the pens rather than carry. I have a contractors clip board I use daily, but don't like them rolling around in there getting beat up. I have checked out different makes of ammo wallets and they all seem to be the same, key wallets all tend to be open ended, I don't really want snaps if un-reinforced, and I don't like elastic either. Just looking for some ideas and then will decide where to go after that. I may attempt something myself, but would also love to give business to an up and coming leather crafter. No offense Paul or anyone else in your league

Porsche Designs makes a leather pen case that holds about three pens. Google same.
