I am not a fan of belt wear, which is why I made the P3 series, but I had this idea for a sheath.

Borrowing an idea from another company, ThinkTank and their Skin pouch series, I present, The Skinth!. At least, MKI of the Skinth.

It includes maximum carry capability with no padding.

-Wave/Charge
-One bit card
-Flashlight/Pen
-Bit Extender/marker



Vertitical Belt Carry (MKII may or may be horizontal carry)



Some side boob action:



The guts, in this one a BO Wave, a loaded Bit Kit, Black Cat Osram aaa light and the bit driver



and a little side by side of the leatherman pouch.



Time to make some colour options.

Yet again, excellent work, great name. I just about decide what I'd like then you make another :drool: worthy product. Like the full length Velcro and the way the belt loop sits higher up the Skinth :tu: If you get time could you take some pics of your ever increasing range of products side by side :think:

I just made it because I had an idea to flush out.

I am working on a horizontal carry one.

Man that is sick. I like the nice thin profile without sacrificing all the carry capacity.

I'd like to see the horizontal one.

I wouldn't mind if i had one on my belt.

I am hesitant to name a price for these. Even though I've figured out the pattern, they're still a lot of work, however, I haven't really seen many products that do as much as this one.

I'll see if I can get a black one going, that'll spark some sales. I am working on The SkinthXL to house a MUT, aside from the molle sheath from LM, there aren't many options for that bad boy.

After seeing the real deal I can attest and recommend Eric's sweet sheath offerings. This one anyway is very well executed.


Stay multi my friends

You can mark me down for one for the MUT  :gimme:

It would be awesome if the MUT version could take a LEDLenser P5 for the light.

It would be great if it could have two pockets for the full 40 bit kit.   This is a very clean and well designed sheath that gives you everything you need. Create a website for this and you'll sell a ton!

There wasn't enough traffic on MTO to do this BUT i have set up a FAQ thread with all the current, in prototype and in potentia models at EDCF:

http://edcforums.com/showthread.php/92254-Skinth-Series-FAQ

It's going to be continually updated with the latest questions and formulations for construction etc.

Also, my website has the in production models listed with descriptions and photos:

That's ironic that there's not enough traffic at a multitool forum, for a multitool sheath! =D  But glad there was a home for it at EDCF.

Still feeling my way around here at MTO. How big is the readership here?
