Here, I took a few photographs just now for you.

To illustrate the sheath, I used the thinnest and thickest Juices to show you how they fit into the sheath.



Being a one piece molded affair, the belt hook is a bit bulky. With that said, the sheath is definitely compact, and you won't notice that belt hook on your belt. I had to bookend the sheath with the two juices in order to take a side shot.



The sheath works with all Juice models. With that said, it works better with thicker tools. The reason behind this is how the sheath holds your Juice. On each side, is a flat area that mates with the side flat area found on all Juices, that Leatherman name plate. Thinner Juices need to be slid in the right way, otherwise, you will miss that mating, meaning you run the risk of having your Juice fall out and losing it. It is al tactile though because the juice will snap into position when done right. Thicker Juice models do not have this orientation issue, as either side will snap in.

Here, you see the Leatherman S2 in the sheath. Note the empty space between the tool and the sheath. This is what causes that orientation issue with thinner Juices. It is only a minor niggle and they had to make it thick enough for it to be universal to the Juice series. Just be aware that your thinner Juices will only lock one way for the most part and you are good to go.



With the thickest Juice XE6, there is no more gaps, and the tool fits well either way.



The polycarbonate Juice sheath is definitely a neat way to carry your Juice. It not only is compact and convenient to use, it offers partial protection for daily wear.  Over time, your front scales may look a little worse  for wear...but if that doesn't matter to you, I would get it for its convenience factor. Easy on and off wins the day.


A little Leatherman information.

  Been thinking about these. There are a few floating around the internet for $20 ... yet I wonder if getting something more rugged and now show off to the (easily offended) world that I am carrying a multitool. Still... the KF4 could do some showing off.  :D

They still for sale at Mitchels, Australia for a ridiculous amount of money once shipping is included ::)

Good to have one as collector's item because they are discontinue, plus the Juice looks good in it, specially if you have the XE6, but I won't use it as a EDC because I don't want to advertise I'm carrying a purple or green or orange multi-tool :D and beside that, it looks to fragile and only gives partial protection to the tool, so you have to be careful not to rub it up against the wall :cry:  But any how, there's one selling in one of those guns/knife forums last time I checked, if I see it again I will post the website.
