Pretty good. I made the fit very tight. I won't be taking the lighter out until it's empty, I think it'll keep the retention, even when I have changed the lighters inside a few times.

 :tu: :tu:

 :tu:  Great color combo. Seem every time I stop carrying a lighter I find myself in a situation where one would have come in handy.  The mini bics for me are an easy carry so those are what I carry.  Non smoker so zippo doesn't make sense for me even with the inserts that keep the fluid from evaporating.  I keep my mini bic in my Skinth front area where the snap is.

I was wanting to edc a fixed blade, but thought, why not just carry an awesome pioneer x open? This was the result. What ya all think?

Interesting concept, does it work well for you? I've been considering something similar for a 111 mm mod I'm planning.

Thank you!
It’s been working out really well So far. I still carry a wave, but really like having a SAK open and ready!

I made the sheath along with the copper scales for this tiny ruike knife.

Tank you!

I made them as a present and was really happy with the outcome -although making the scales was a pain in the...neck-all my respect to all sak and MT modders around here.

If left to my own devices when a bit of metalworking and some sheath-making are involved I tend to end up like

I've had my first try at a self made sheath. A pocket caddy for the back pockets.

I've added a tiny slot in the middle for a SAK scale tool. I have a Tortoise Firefly in there for now, but any scale tool would fit.

The stitching part hurt the most  ;)
It's not perfect but sturdy and reliable.

Yeah, I could have chosen a slightly thinner material maybe  :D

Something different. Was a fun build. I think I got my paracord badge for this one.

A while back a made a sheath for my spirit x and I quickly realized that the leather I used for the pouch part was to thin and soft but it holds up great except for stretching and not holding the tool as tight as I want. No problem when standing up but if I sit down or lay down on the couch the tool slips out. So I did a flap today. Mostly as a test and this sheath are my test subject. I tried a concept and it worked but then taking in and of my pants it slipped of the belt so I handed a push button and the other part on my belt, it worked and now I added a flap. So this is a test sheath and not the final product. My rebar sheath in the same style are more like the final version but it continues to evolve.

I thought about add a seem around the edge and made a few holes but change my mind and just keep the groove (remember the prototype mindset)

Very nice job! And very true, I bought a super cool flashlight was waaay more powerful then a aa maglite, and I liked combo sheaths, only problem was my sheath wouldn’t fit it, so the night I got home I spent like 4hrs making that one way to the left, not the best but it worked, it held what I needed, the wife was mad cause I had work the next day and I was up till like 12am, I so wanted a leather sheath but knew nothing about them nor did I have money to buy a custom one, so I looked into it and made that next piece of junk, very ugly but then again it worked, learned a few things and liked the concept of a pancake, so that’s what I went with, so I made the middle one, that middle one had to have seen a good 5yrs of field work, was even in my accident, the last two I just decided to make because I was bored, the last is for my sak, but the unique thing about that one is it’s not dyed with like rits, I found some way with I think vinegar and rust, stunk like wow, I kept it in the window between the window and the screen to get it to lose some of the stench, before moving to the next step and assembling it, I’ll admit there not the best looking but they did the job and I kept learning!!

Thanks, I’ll be getting a red farmerX for Xmas, and along side it a Zermatt sheath w/steel, the same kind my grandfather introduced me to over 30yrs ago! And I think that farmerx is going to be my new must carry, so unless they come out with something even more perfect besides my custom I’ll be good on sheaths well maybe if I find a nice pancake for the farmerx, which that black one should fit,,
