Here, I've refined the design a bit to incorporate the clip patch into the main pouch stitching.

One I made out of a old bicycle racing tire. The tires are lined with silk.

Here is a photo of a very simple slip case that my Wife makes for me out of relatively thin leather. It can't compete with some of the really nice slip cases shown in this thread but she makes them for and I wouldn't trade them for the world.

Really impressed with your work here Butch. These things go for a premium on Etsy and yours looks just as good!

My favorite so far, flannel lined leather slip.

Here are several simple ones that I have made. The two larger ones were done many years ago using fairly heavy leather. When he was living my father did quite a bit of leather work and I picked up a few tips from him, including how to use a lacing chisel and rivets. The three smaller ones were done very recently using some thinner, softer leather from a Michael's craft store. Other than the one with brown lacing they were done with a Speedy Stitcher and waxed thread. I've yet to manage to keep my stitches straight! But, they do the job.

I made this a year or two ago.

Generally speaking, I only use a slip when I'm carrying two knives in the same pocket. I've made an assortment of them, mostly for the smaller knives.

lots of nice slips in this thread

I did carry one for a while but these days i stitch a slip pouch in the front pocket of my jeans/trousers etc.

every pair so I can carry a AAA torch on the left and a pocket knife on the right

Anticipating the arrival of my new GEC #14 I started looking around for a small pocket slip, and was having a hard time finding one that I liked. The branding that most of the online knife retailers add to their pocket slips turns me off a bit, and this being the end of the semester I don’t have time to learn to make my own.

So after searching around lesser conventional sources I found a leather worker who mostly tools gun holsters, but made a few sheaths that I liked and asked if he could make me one of his small sheaths sans belt loop. He offered to do it for $15 and I absolutely love it.

Fantastic! Beautiful work and I think that's a great price.

One of my all time favorites, I love the sharkskin with my fish shield LLoyd Lanny!

There is a ton of quality work on display here. It is definitely something to be proud of. I wish I had the ability to do that kind of work.

 

[Horsewright]

Just takes practice, time and thought boykinlp . there is LOTS of help over at Sheaths and Such here on BF. One only has to ask and read, there are pages and pages of how to interspersed with here's what I've done lately.

Back in the spring, I went to a hobby shop in Ottawa and bought some waxed thread, an assortment of sewing needles for leather and a square foot of fairly thick leather. I then proceeded to make three slips to house my Case mini trappers and my full size Case stockman, as well as my Grohmann mini Russell. Well, they are unique for sure, but they work. I re-purposed one of the smaller slips to house my Olight i3T flashlight.

I'm now thinking of making one of those EDC Duz All's (like H&T makes) to house a SAK and my flashlight together. If anyone is a little timid to try and make your own slip, I say go for it. Since it's in your pocket 99% of the time, no one will see it.
