Swisschamp pouch!

[theilmann]

Any ideas?
I am looking for a belt pouch for my swisschamp. 
It should hold, off course, my swisschamp, and my LED Lenser P3.
- Any ideas?

With kind regards

Few ideas, but then P3 thing problem occurs


Btw

[HarleyXJGuy]

Not even a challenge. The Lenser is a big head AAA light correct?

Google Skinth, contact Metro, profit.

Welcome.

I've got a nylon vic pouch that my swisschamp fits in with a solitaire, I'll try my p3 when I get home

Depending on the size of your flashlight, Leatherman's nylon sheath for the Wave ought to work.  I carried a Craftsman in mine while waiting for a Leatherman PST II to arrive (which was too small for the pouch).   A couple months later, I bought a leather sheath for the Craftsman, and a Leatherman Super Tool currently resides in that pouch. 

I carry a Mini Maglite in the side webbing of the Wave sheath often, along with a 5 inch Crescent wrench in the other elastic loop.

It's also cheap, at only around $5.  Only thing to worry about is the hole in the bottom intended so that the tool can be put into the pouch with the pliers open--the hole stretches.

I concur, as I carry my Swisschamp in my Wave sheath and it fits perfectly

The pouch ive got here only has enough room for the solitaire, the wave pouch seems a good option

I visited the Victorinox site to check on their nylon pouches. The Wenger nylon pouch I have right now allows vertical carry only. I prefer horizontal carry. I can't see in the Victorinox site if their nylon pouches are capable of horizontal carry.


Can anyone help identify which model can be carried horizontally?

Horizontal is rediculous.

I honestly never even considered horizontal carry for a champ until seeing these posts, but now I have to ask. Why is it rediculous?

Because of my body structure, I find it infinitely more comfortable to do horizontal carry. I've done it with my Leatherman Charge for a month and barely noticed it on me even when sitting down for 8 hours. Its placed next to my appendix and is more discrete than vertical carry when I'm wearing untucked shirt.


A SwissChamp is more compact and lighter than a Charge, as we all know

Off the top of my head Vic offers a leather pouch for a Swisschamp which comes in a variant with a rotatable metal belt clip that besides vertical also allows horizontal and, if needed, diagonal carry. Would that be an option? I don't think the nylon pouches are available in that variant...

I used to own both a leather and nylon pouches for my LEatherman and I prefer nylon simply because its more flat than leather. The reason Im going for discrete carry is because its less hassle in the streets when a SAK on your belt is detected

I used leather pouches for decades. Just recently, I found that my Nitenumen NE01 nylon pouch (the light goes for around 20 euros, so practically the pouch is for free) fits exactly the Swisschamp, saves A LOT of space and has many carrying options (not horizontal though).

Looks about right, except with no horizontal carry for me. I've been thinking also about the cellphone pouch that used to be popular during the pre-smartphone era. I wonder if they're still available somewhere.

This may be what you're looking for: https://aty-baty.com.ua/p111015938-chehol-nejlonovyj-remen.html.

I don't know why some obscure items can be found in Ukraine and Russia, but it's something I've noticed before when tracking down certain catalogue code items  .  If you call a Victorinox flagship store they may be able to get one if you quote item code 4.0545.3H

EDIT: Looks like it can be found in Western Europe as well: http://shop.messerjoker.de/Synthetik-Etui-schwarz-horizontral_1

That looks perfect. If anyone could find that from a more accessable vendor that would be awesome!

THANK YOU, Little Tinker! EXACTLY what I'm looking for! Now the hunt begins! 


I'll also let you know, GD, if and when I find this elusive animal 

[an0nemus]

Gene just told me that he used to own this before and it's designed for SwissTool so the SwissChamp will not fit snugly.

I was also in our local mall and saw some surplus phone pouches. Exactly what I'm looking for. Best part is it's only $2 each!

Horizontal is rediculous.

What?    I have to disagree     

How people carry their knives and tools is based on personal tastes and activities, so to each, his/her own. 

I've been using horizontal pouches for some carries for years because they're less obtrusive and they are comfortable. It started with the Belt Hugger (no longer made AFAIK), then I found Rainbow of California, who made the knife sheaths in multiple sizes (they haven't been advertising these for the last year). Luckily they were very inexpensive so I bought a few extras; the smaller one fits 2-3 layer SAKs or my LM Juice S2 or KF4, and the larger one works for the 4-6 layer SAKs. I primarily use these when I'm carrying the Yeoman, either of the Juices or the Explorer. Depending on what I'm doing, I can carry the Rainbow pouches either vertically or horizontally. I still prefer to carry the Champions, the CT34, and most larger LM or Gerber MUTs vertically because of their thickness.

Those rainbow of california pouches look awesome. Where do you get them?

Purchased directly from Rainbow of California, but they haven't been advertising/showing these for the last year that I'm aware of.

Alright, we need to find a nice horizontal sheath for the Swisschamp that is in stock and orderable! I have been looking around myself to no avail.

If only these are available in my country!

Or go the custom route? A South African policeman shared to me his own design

I found a temporary solution when I found a phone pouch selling for $2. I don't think this will last but I'll give it a try and see if I'll like horizontal EDC of my SwissChamp

There is room for more... a small torch?

Yes, it could actually hold my Super Tinker on top of the SwissChamp but there's no stopping it from falling out of the sides
