Lots of inspiring slips and pocket sheaths in this thread! :thumbup:
Someday I'd like to try making one myself, but I don't have a lot of skilz, as they say.
I do have some imagination, though, and I have some very serviceable sheaths I use that I "repurposed" from their original intent.
The items on the left and the right in this photo I discovered in the webbing and the wrist strap of an old baseball glove I tore up to use its leather for a strop or maybe a knife slip. The belt pouch is very handy, too, although I rarely use it in the winter under my parka. I usually use the slip on the left to hold the longest knife in my weekly carry; it goes in a pantleg tool pocket if I'm wearing carpenter jeans, in LRP otherwise. I typically carry two folders in the slip on the right and put it in my LFP, although you can see it has a couple of vertical slits I added so I could wear it on my belt. The blue belt pouch typically holds my phone, a small multi-tool, a little flashlight, and 3 folders.
I'm a baseball fan, and couldn't pass up this trifold wallet that went on clearance at my local grocery-and-everything-else store.
Did I want to carry my folding money and credit cards in my soft new Rawlings billfold? Not hardly!
I usually carry 3 knives, a lucky coin or two, and a DMT Fine credit card in it, and stick it in my LRP.
