Title: Skinth Loadout Thread!
Post by: kkokkolis on February 11, 2014, 09:59:00 PM
I admit it, the Skinth virus didn't spare me. I ordered mine and since I don't know when it will reach this corner of the world and my eyes are hungry for Skinth loadouts, I thought that a Skinth Loadout Thread might help the fever deescalate a bit. There is one in another forum but I want to see what my pals are using. Let's go!

I've seen the one on EDCF, and it prompted me to by an S-Shield and an L-Shield just yesterday.  I can't wait to get them.  I'll be sure to post pics here once they're loaded.

I have been trying to figure out a way to carry the Vic ratchet and extension set. I think I could do it in an l shield. Just waiting to pull the trigger on that one.

The Ratchet and extension fit inside an OD Victorinox seath, beside the Spirit. A bit kit fits on the back. But no place for a light or anything else, that's why Skinths are well thought.

Here's my temporary configuration, waiting for my Skinth. The ratchet and adapter fit together with the Spirit. I exchanged the adapter with a generic that can be used with powered tools, has a magnet, is shorter, has less play and makes a nice T handle for better torque.
A bit kit fits in the open pocket of the seath. My custom philips driver adapter gives me options: I can use it with the Spirit's or the Swisschamp's Philips driver at will.

S-Shield with Cybertool 34 & ARC AAA-P

I had previously carred the CT34 in a Victorinox Zermatt large pouch, which is considerably larger and bulkier than the S-shield and has no room for any extras.  The Zermatt large is just big enough to fit the CT34 or Champion.  Amazingly, the slimmer S-Shield is large enough to carry a Swisschamp or a Cybertool 41, with no extra room.  An extra large Zermatt pouch is required to do the same, and is MUCH larger than the S-Shield

Think I'll probably go with a couple sizes of the Shield series as it looks to have the layout to fit my usual tool combos.

A Zebra might fit.  I tried a bullet with the CT34 and ARC in there, but it was just too tight.  I think a pen would fit fine with a 5-layer SAK like a Ranger though, or of course one narrower than that.  I'll try that tonight and see what I can fit in there with the ARC and Bullet.

I think it's pretty cool that this little pouch can comfortably carry any cellidor SAK I own, then I can use any extra room I might have to fit it out with other goodies.

I tested it out with the ARC AAA and a Bullet pen in the outer pockets, and a five-layer SAK such as a Ranger or Woodsman fits in there comfortably.  You actually can >squeeze< the CT41 or Champion in there with both, but it's too snug for my liking.

Here it is with a Woodsman, which is maybe 3mm wider than a Ranger.  The pouch isn't very deep--the bullet is fully inserted here and wouldn't be held in by the flap.

I might add one when I get my Skinth. I've seen them in the airport but they should have them in big bookstores also. I avoided such writing utensils because they get dry after some time. I use Parker pens and mechanical pencils (a lot when studying for medicine and psychiatry) but I'd like to try Fisher space pen too. I ordered Mole webbing on my Skinth too so there will be enough place for two writing instruments.

In the meantime I'm looking at Maxpeditions, although the don't share the same sex appeal and  I don't need any. My setup is determined: The Skinth CatchAll as a bag in bag for multitools/ SAKs and their accessories and the current opentop bag in bag for e-cigs, MnMs, PEGcs, wipes, pens, sunglasses etc. I now have everything in that opentop bag and it become crowded and fat. This bag is convenient as I can pick everything without taking the bag out and looking at it. But when I fix something I'm going to take out the Skinth toolbox anyway.
But I need a passtime during these long weeks.

I've have a P3 and a P3MT.

I'm using the P3MT to carry a SAK, believe it or not. It works just fine and you have a little extra room in there. I reckon a Swisschamp or similar 6+ layer SAK would fit perfectly in a P3MT.

-Microstream
-Vic electrician
-sunex mini ratchet driver
-modded 7/16" wrench

Th bits for the sunex ratchet go in my pocket with a fenix e01 and a champion plus. Most days I have a spydie tenacious clipped in my pocket too. Not pictured in my EDC is my coax prepper and my compression tool. I'm the only person at work who doesn't carry a bag or toolbelt. It's a sense of freedom lol. Thanks, Eric!

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/16/a8a2yjaz.jpg)

I didn't give much thought. I'm going to play a lot with it the next days. First impressions?
First of all, thanks a lot to Metro. It is great. It is big. It is made with great quality and expertise. He made it red and black, as he was asked.
All my big tools fit in.
The side tubes fit the Spirit and Charge but  also the Swisstool and Surge (tested). The Swisschamp XLT fits in the sidetube also! The XLT fits in the main pocket and the back pocket and the center pocket accomodates easily the XAVT!!!
Problems? Well, most pockets are deep, so short and little items are  difficult to find a place in there. I used my Greek Army sewing kit holder (the cheap plastic envelope in OD into the back pocket) to put there all little and short objects: Victorinox sharpening stone, sewing kit, alcohol pads, band-aids, needles, surgical blades, pencils and IKEA paper ruler, safety pins etc. That was a nice solution, although I would prefer something in black.
I put in everything I EDCed and then some more. So there's one additional  multitool (the Charge) and one additional knife (the Endura) one additional bit kit (the Leatherman two cards), one additional adapter (the  Leatherman extension) and one additional sharpener (the Victorinox dual sharpener, without the cap) that I didn't EDC. But they all fit and there's room for more! I think that I might add the Ritsartz Picnik knife because occassionaly I need a fork and a clean knife (I use my Opinel for much dirty  work). My 32 pieces bit kit fits also with the XLT in the central compartment but I thought it was an overkill since there are the Leatherman cards and an assorted 11 item kit. I never carried the Endura but  it fits so nicely in the MOLLE bands it  is a pitty to leave it behind  (I hope no cop will ever check my bag). I might put the Surge or  the Swisstool in the sidepockets when I predict harder work (when I visit my daughter for example) or put something with different capabilities in one pocket, like a Crunch.
Indeed, many, many options. the only thing that is out of the question is to put that monster on my belt. No, that would be a revelation of the worst kind.
I put an aluminium ring on the front flap so I can hang it open somewhere when I have to work on something (the same way I do with  my travel shaving and personal hygiene kit). I think  that's a nice idea.
The Skinth fits nicelly in my Victorinox Trevi bag and It will fit for sure in my Victorinox monosling and backpack. It will be easy for me to transfer all my tools from bag to bag or leave behind all my sharp and controlled items when I visit the prisons or put them in at once my checked in luggage when I have to travel.

Would  I change anything? Some minor things.
- I might have chosen the front panel to be flat (Metro gives that option of course) although it might prove very practical to be able  to put items with pocket clips there. But  the flat panel would allow better handling and one might add an ID card translucent pocket to add a bussiness card or  personalize the skinth with a motto, a sticker etc.
- I would prefer the side tubes with velcro. They would be flat this way. Ther was that option in the past  but no more I think.
- I would also pay something more to  replace  the  D ring (and the buckles) with something of a better material, like metal.
- Since the CatchAll is so deep, I would add a couple of  shallow pockets of half the height for  small items.
- The Catch all is so big that the "Skinth in Skinth" is a rational move. So I would add an option for a small "purse" with 2-3 pockets for all small items. It could  be made to fit exactly the back pocket.
- The CatchAll is so big and can be so heavy that a small handle of the same material on the top of it would help a lot. That's an easy one.
- I would add a "Skinth" logo somewhere. Come on Metro! you deserve to have your logo on these masterpieces.

Overall I am very excited. I had to wait for two months and 5 days but I will enjoy it for many years to come, that's for sure.

i got my catchall a few days back and would be photographing it now, but i'm repairing the belt clips, which bent terribly outward and sideways the first day i wore it.

i got the clips because a belt loop is a pain--having to remove belt to remove beltpouch--but now, i'm faced with either figuring out a third option, or ordering another one...i hate MOLLE compatible, though, the snaps never hold for a belt case.
Title: Re: Skinth Loadout Thread!
Post by: kkokkolis on April 18, 2014, 06:38:29 PM
It must have been very heavy to bend the clips!
Mine are standard loops and I'm happy because I thought that I ordered MOLLE loops but eventually they would consume space for nothing since I ain't gonna wear it on my belt, 1.5kgr at its lightest. The horizontal velcro straps though seem strong.

It must have been very heavy to bend the clips!
Mine are standard loops and I'm happy because I thought that I ordered MOLLE loops but eventually they would consume space for nothing since I ain't gonna wear it on my belt, 1.5kgr at its lightest. The horizontal velcro straps though seem strong.

honestly i think i am just too fat, and my belt pressure got weird and i might have gotten it caught on seat arms a few times; i haven't even managed to fill the thing yet; it is that spacious and awesome.  really the only complaint i have about it is the clip failure, and that might not have happened had i taken it off a time or two.

our costumer loves the thing and wants metro to design a lightweight sewing toolkit pouch with the same sort of space-usage as the catch-all. 


edited to reassure i have clamped the clips down and restored some pressure to them, so it is still functional.  gonna test it today.

One of my clips has bent slightly, on my S-shield.  I've found that the clips work better for me if I clip them not only around my belt, but around the fabric of my pants also.  The skinth then doesn't slide around, and is much more stable, and seems less likely to bend.

i did this today.  much more effective and comfortable.  my little 'pinch fix' worked, so i'm happy and when i get the load worked out, i'll do pics.  :salute: :salute:

I was playing around the few weeks back with Adobe Fireworks and thought I would plan out my Skinth Magnum load-out, this is what I came up with.

Posted this on another site but thought you guys might like it...

I'm not even 3 weeks into the wait yet. And already I am  in agony!!! This really is  self inflicted torture. I hate that I do this to myself all the time. I guess I am a glutton for punishment. But then again I've been waiting on a Wilder Forge custom knife for 2 months and it's looking like late summer before it's ready. All these guys who make all this kickass custom gear need to get better at reading our minds and knowing in advance exactly what we want. That way they can have it in stock and we can get a little more instant gratification. C'mon @metro you gotta tighten up on those ESP skills. :)

Could you please take another side photo where you are wearing a different color pants? It's hard to distinguish between your legs and the skinth. I have a catchall coming in the next few weeks and I'm curious as to how well it carries on the hip. Thank you in advance!:) Your load out is impressive.

I exaggerated here. The Skinth has ALL it's usual content plus the Endura plus a Surge in place of the Charge (that moved in the front). That's 2.1 kgr!!!
You can see the belt bends under the weight. But it doesn't look big at all and a sane load would be half of it with one Multi and one smaller SAK instead of 3 Multies and an XLT plus both LM and regular bits and adapters.
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/18/uqehusu7.jpg)
Normal load is 1.6kgr and I never wear it on my belt. That was an experiment.

Awesome thank you very much that is very helpful. As it is right now I carry 2 MT's and a light on my belt. Each in there own sheath. So I am looking to consolidate and was hoping that my catchall wasn't going to be too terribly huge. But yours look perfect. Thanks again for sharing the pics.

No, it's not huge. Leather tool holders are much bigger and "banana" type bags that used to be fashionable a decade ago bigger also. But since we feed Skinths with stainless steel they can become really heavy. Keep it under 1kgr or 2 pounds and you'll be OK. I overloaded it because I have perfected a 3 bag system to carry it and I'm not a worker that needs the tools in the ready position. I just take out the Skinth and do the job when I need to.

Peak LED Solutions Eiger

So... what's the Eiger like?  AA or AAA?

AAA.

Peaks are the most customizable production lights on the market.  A choice of 9 power levels or QTC for variable output, three materials (HA, SS, Brass), several body types (pocket, lug, keychain, 2xAAA), mechanical momentary switch....  it goes on and on--enough to make your head spin.

Peaks are the only remaining lights that are built on the older, simple twisty platform like the ARC AAA, the CMG Infinity, etc.  They are extremely durable.  They are well-regulated for good runtime on a variety of cells (alk, NiMH, Li-Ion) and have an excellent beam profile that is typically floody; especially with the medium optic.  This makes them ideal to use as a close to medium-range headlamp when clipped to the brim of a hat/cap.

I like them!  :tu:  My Eigers are probably my most-used lights due to their versatility.

Huh, those pics are better than I expected...


Okay, the Skinth OG I have has closed in the bottom sidetubes, knife/pen straps on the front, and pentapocket organization. And of course, a belt clip instead of a loop (that's probably my favourite feature)


Here it's holding:


- In the main compartment, a LM Wave with a neon green lanyard, pocket clipped to the sheath so it doesn't sink too deep (yes, it's a bit too deep, but that makes it fit an MP600 (BN) as well.
- In the knife straps, a SRM 710 in SS
- In the left side tube, a Vic Tinker small (84mm, two layers cellidor)
- In the right side tube, an EagleTax D25CM titanium limited edition CR123 flashlight.
- In the front flat pocket, a single LM bitcard with my most used bits
- In the right side penta pocket, a pair of tweezers.


I still have three penta-pockets left, (the front one is divided into two) and feel like I could probably fit in a PWII somewhere as well.


So there you have it, hope it was helpful :)

The MP fits rather nicely (by the looks of it), and gives you a good bit to get a grip of to pull it out.  The Plus might be too deep looking at your pics.

Hmmmm....  One would think that choosing a sheath would be something simple.  Good thing we here at MT.O know that nothing is as simple as it should be.  :D

Like I said, it's actually already quite deep for the Wave (it would be even deeper if I wouldn't use the clip). A L-shield might be a better fit for the Wave, but is not as universal for your other tools. I don't know how well the ST200 would fit though, and I don't have one of those.


Besides that, the options are quite great, though the knife carry straps might be a bit conspicuous, it fits lots of stuff (I mean, with a 84mm SAK and a CR123 flashlight along with the MT, what else would you need?)

Rebar BO
LM Bit Driver with most used bits
Vic Compact Plus
Pocketwrench II
Thrunite Tis AAA flashlight
LM Bit Extender

My loadout, not as fancy as some. Will be changing soon, as I plan to swap out the Compact Plus for an Explorer Plus once I get the funds to order one. I also might try out that new Fenix AAA flashlight. Then this Skinth's load will be complete.

Initial impressions were "whoa, this is kinda big" although I somewhat knew that already and that was only because of the visual first impressions.

While it's wider than the default LM Wave sheath I was using, it's narrower. I can wear this and forget about because it rides nice and close to the body. I love having everything in one convenient package. It's certainly freed up my regular pocket space.


kkokkolis, might I suggest a belt designed for carrying a firearm. More specifically one of the reinforced shooting belts. They are specifically designed not to bend or droop under weight like yours is. Just a thought.   :salute:

This x100000000. I can not stress more as to what the Cap said. When I first started conceal carrying, I thought I was going to have to change firearms to something smaller/lighter because of the droop/sag caused by it.

Once I got a gun belt, AKA a duty belt, everything carries like a champ with no sag at all. Last night I went to a friends with my Skinth 2 XL loaded up, my IWB holster and larger/heavy-ish folder on me and nobody was the wiser. Love it.

So far, I love the Skinth. Can't wait to get an Explorer Plus to switch out for the Compact for a more well rounded tool load out.


On a different note, a guy at work recognized the Skinth on my desk and asked about it. Apparently he is a lurker of EDCForums and has been eyeballing one for a while but was hesitant to order one due to not being able to handle/see it first. I let him fondle/try on my Skinth and he said he plans to order one next payday. Score for getting another sale for Metro. :tu:

Once I got a gun belt, AKA a duty belt, everything carries like a champ with no sag at all. Last night I went to a friends with my Skinth 2 XL loaded up, my IWB holster and larger/heavy-ish folder on me and nobody was the wiser. Love it.


Any recommendations for a duty belt? I'd prefer something I can wear with jeans or cargo/khakis (do they come in leather?)?

My Trailblazer arrived today I'm still playing about with various loadouts. it would help if my Surge was here but I should get that on Saturday.

What torches (flashlights) are a snug fit with high lumens and use a CR123 or rechargeable do other carry?

@toolslinger

Yes, leather belts. Just made to be rugged, with dual-layer bullhide.This is the particular model I chose, but they have a variety of styles.

http://www.thebeltman.net/bh112.htm

If you do get one, I recommend you choose the 7 holes 3/4" apart, rather than 5 holes at 1" apart. It will give you more options to find your comfort zone.

They're not cheap, but then they're not built cheap either. They're handmade dual layer and tough as hell. This is a belt that will last, that's for sure.

Good luck!

Ok as I got my surge back this morning I'm playing about with load outs.

(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/27/2ad8108168c7efce353612218645189b.jpg)

Here the beast all closed up, I like the lamy pens, they write very well but I wouldn't be too upset if I lost one, the CRKT TAO pen was the one I won in the giveaway sometime ago.  The fastex buckles I prefer over Velcro as if they wear out or break they are easier to replace. Also once they are closed you can't snag it on anything and have it open.

(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/27/b8b8ad68dd06712492c6f7eaa3024337.jpg)

I went for the Molle attachment as my main back packs have Molle on them. The Velcro vertical carry will be useful on my small day sack/assault pack that I use when I out shooting.

(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/27/e7cc494788f03eef52bca9c04bc0219a.jpg)

This is what is in/on it so far, the tin is the same size as the altoids tin and that will have a small FAK in it. I'm also hunting for a flashlight that will fit as well.

My og.

Guess I should've asked before I ordered.

But do you think the molle attachment would play nicely on a first responder for belt carry ?

Should've asked Eric if he could do Velcro backing in my comments.

Is that a Maglite clip on the Leatherman bit extender? Maybe a clip from a writing pen?  :think:

You can add Space Pen pocket clip. It works beautifully with the LB bit extender and attaches to the wider part at the top. Done it myself, works like a charm. It can also be ordered as a separate part so no need to take it off the Bullet pen.

Liking the setup, still? How are you getting on with those Sxissors?
Title: Re: Skinth Loadout Thread!
Post by: AimlessWanderer on October 20, 2014, 01:41:47 AM
If I'm honest, I find the Scixors to be the weak link in the chain. I have found several True Utility items to be quite useful, but these vex me a little. I find them slipping sideways in my fingers then "leaping" out of my hands - not as badly as the Gerber Solstice though - that's EVIL - don't ever get one of those if you prefer to keep your blood inside your skin!!  :ahhh :ahhh

I've only worn this kit occasionally to be honest, and I'm persevering with them in case it's more operator error than a characteristic of the tool  :D, but if I don't master them I might end up switching the Standard for a Compact or Timekeeper unless I find some other small scissors, and maybe stick some small nail clippers in the scixors space instead

The Standard will still get carry time though even if the scixors get the better of me, as it can pair up with my modded Kick or MP400, which both have scissors anyway. The other items have done very well though, and I think this is probably the best overall set up that I've used the Skinth for  :cheers: I'm actually getting on better with the PST than I thought I would, and the E11 is an excellent little light. I've got a lot of function in that kit, and it's one of the very few set ups that I'll actually belt carry rather than pocket carry  :salute:

I am about to buy a skinth sheath. I have many MTs and want the most versatile sheath. I have Wave, Surge, ST300, Charge, MUT,
MP600 (needle nose), SwissTool X. Etc.

What would you recommend that could carry all of these (not at same time) From the looks of it I was
thinking the MUT shield would be big enough to support all my tools. I know it would leave the
smaller tools with a little bit of play but that is okay.

Please let me know.

You should ask the maker, which is the member metropolycity.
For 4" tools in 4.5" Skinths you can simply put something underneath to raise them. I put the Victorinox neck lanyard andbit works perfectly.

The Victorinox neck lanyard is nice and useful when you work over water or the road (I use it when I change the lamps of my professional billboard, if my Swisschamp XLT or any Multi I use falls from my hands I might kill someone). It is easy to enfold it and put it under your 4" tools and then it might prove handy. But you might use anything else as well.

If you have something to put under the smaller tools, I don't think it'd be much of a problem (like Kkokkolis' lanyard), a tool thats too deep in the sheath is really quite annoying, certainly if you load the other pockets up as well.

I think I've settled on my Skinth set up............ for now.................maybe  :D.  I have been going with this set up for a bit and really like it.  I'm back to 7-8 ish on my hip and honestly dont notice it at all.

Love your load out Aloha. Have a couple of questions though.

What size Skinth is this?

Love the Wave, good choice but why carry a Juice too?

No extender. Not enough room, need or you just do not like it?

Need some help guys and gals.

Want to get a one of the P2/P3 series for front pocket carry. Will be nice to keep SKAs upright and light MT carry.

The problem is I think the P3 might be a hair to wide and there is no sizes for the P2 on the website.

Anyone have either and can give me the width of the P2? Also do you have issues with the P2 falling over sideways in jeans and the like?

I can't measure mine right now but it's about 3" wide, I think. Fits a Spirit or Rebar and Ranger or Explorer really nicely, no problems with it falling over in my pockets.

Will fit a CT 41 too right?

Post by: hiraethus on December 19, 2014, 09:47:56 PM
Not in a P2. 5, maybe 6 layers is your limit unless you go for a P2MT, but then you won't get a multi in with it.

You fit a Rebar in the regular P2?

So a Rebar and a Explorer or Yeoman in the P2.

Could do a SC or CT 41 in the P2MT.

(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/22/33425231d83d7b5becbb805267bd5a86.jpg)

I placed all my current lightweight EDC inside the Shield and there's room for more. Now I'm on a trip, when I get back home I'll probably add the Crunch and the Solitaire, perhaps even a lighter and a sharpener.

(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/22/3c94d8351091dd19069835659515f3b7.jpg)

Alternatives for the Spirit & Alox are Charge and Mountaineer or Skeletool and Swisschamp (XLT). A normal hex bit set should also fit. And tweezers.
I'll try several combinations. I used to carry much in the Mother of All Skinths, I like to have at least the option to decide what to have with me.
The Toolet fits inside the Shield when empty. I might put it inside the CatchAll for organizing freak's shake.

Title: Re: Skinth Loadout Thread!

Workchamp is a Victorinox 111mm.
Here's the Sakwiki page:  http://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=WorkChamp

No room for both the mini Bic and AAA flashlight.  I figure if you have a three layer or less 111mm they would fit.  I should have a Trekker (http://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Trekker) arriving in my post box some time in the next few days so will put that with the light and Bic in the M Shield and post a photo.

Trekker fits in the M Shield with a mini Bic and a AA Fenix E12 flashlight perfectly (Lots of room when I put the AAA flashlight in there so I thought I would try the AA).  A four layer 111mm would fit nicely with the lighter and a AAA flashlight I think.

4" Bahco adjustable, Mini Sharpie, 2mm flat driver and a Victorinox bit kit and driver.  Makes a great pocket toolkit to supplement a multi at work.

That's a neat little kit mate.  I'm a big fan of the 4" Bahco as well. :tu:

Only opens out to about 13mm (or 1/2" for you colonial types) but is ideal for the little fiddly stuff we have at work (M2 nuts? :ahhh )

Yep wrong picture, lame.

Hi all,
as many of you I'm considering buying a skinth, but of course I'm at a loss with all the models and options out there!

So I've got a few questions for you:

At the moment I'm looking at the XL shield , the skinth Plus or the skinth OG.

I'd like to have buttons and a horizontally carrying method (about which I've asked via the form at the skinth site).

Anyway what I'm planning to carry is

Thrunite Ti3
LM squirt ps4
LM bit extender

Plus either the

LM charge
LM bit kit

or

Victorinox Swisstool
Victorinox toolset (the one which comes with the swisstool
Victorinox corkscrew (again, the one which comes with the swisstool)


So the idea is to use it for these two set-ups, where I just replace the multitool and its kits with the same from the other manufacturer.

Of course I'd like to have the smallest package possible, but does it make sense to have a single sheath to use in these two configuration?  Will, for instance, the Charge configuration be too loose? or, as a contrary, the Victorinox one too tight?

So in the end will I be able to kill two birds with a stone? Or shall I rather directly buy two skinths ? (and which ones)

Thanks for your insights!

Danilo

EDIT:
one information which may come useful is that as of now, I'm using the leatherman sheath, the one which came with the charge tti, the leather one which is able to be carried horizontally, and I'm quite happy with it (I still don't have the bit extender, so I'm not sure if it'll fit in there as well, tho).
The problem with it it's that even though I've had it for a couple of months now, it's showing serious wear, and I don't really trust it at this point... (and of course it doesn't help with the victorinox, whose sheath is pristine as it doesn't allow you carry it horizontally, and I simply can't stand carrying a sheath vertically...)

Was going through my Skinth's last week and decided to give the Magnum and try out again, it worked very well that day. Have mainly been using my L-Shield with my Leatherman Wave as my Surge had been sent away for repair under warranty as the Scissors thumb stub broke when using it, got the new model Surge with the Stainless steel thumb stud.

I think I'm going to order that exact Magnum, I saw on your Instagram you had penloops on the back? Did you just ask for them in the notes when you ordered? It's starting to drive me crazy working out exactly the Skinth I want, I think I might just have to order it and then wait and see! I can't have a belt clip (can't ridk it coming off) so deciding on Molle (as its big enough to be useful attached to a bag) or normal belt,

The only thing I'm certain on is safety orange for colour!

Leatherman Blast/Rebar, or Leatherman Skeletool
Space pen or Rite in the Rain ben

if the M shield won't hold all that (Even if its tight) then let me know so I can change my order if needed.

The Rebar lock tabs catch a bit when taking it in and out, so a thicker pen might make that worse, but it does all fit.

Read over in EDC forums that he's running about 50-60 days right now. Anyone else have any recent orders show up? I can't wait to get mine! I probably have another 15-20 days if I am lucky

No kidding. Try to search the net for any product and all you will ever find is fake review blogs with links to Amazon to buy whatever it is you wanted to know. No matter what the product is, how bad it is, or how many people have demanded their money back, all the blogs say it is the best in its class, award winning product, etc. Absolute web poisoning! You can barely find any accurate information that wasn't paid for by Amazon on the web because of this, outside of forums and mailing lists.

Are these collectible now? :think:

I didn't really look into skinth until early December so there was no way I was gonna get it before Christmas so I just waited and ordered it on the first, anyone know how long I should wait. Any time estimate? I'm thinking about a month and a half to wrap up late christmas and then mine. I ordered a catch all, can't wait to load it with anything.

Went to change up my skinth load out last night. My usual work carry is a surge in a xl shield. Went to put in a leatherman oht and the bloody thing hardly fits. I could only manage the small diameter of a d25a in one side pocket with the oht in. Also closing the flap with two press studs was quite difficult.

Does anyone else carry an oht in a skinth that has had this issue?

No way this can be fixed with some scissors and a lighter. Hate to do it but a new Skinth seems to be the only logical answer.  :whistle:

Yeah so I still am limping along with that same old LM sheath.

Have tried different configurations but the OHT is actually just a tad taller than a surge and is wider also due to the handles not being able to close because of the sliding design. A leatherman OHT is really not designed to fit in a XL shield. You would want to go something bigger in my opinion if looking at a skinth or go with the leatherman sheath. I prefer not to use velcro as in my work environment it just doesn't last.

Post by: kkokkolis on December 04, 2016, 11:21:33 AM
I have 3 Skinths, the CatchAll, a Shield and a Toolet. I now carry the Skinth with an EDC focused around the Spirit S.
You can see my Shield besides my CatchAll. It has the same configuration, but currently I carry a Squirt S4 for the scissors, in place of the custom Vic you see.
Now, the "problem" is that I miss my Swisschamp XLT. It fits inside the Shield, with all other components, except the Spirit and the scissored multitool. The Shield becomes fatter though. And I'll miss the pliers then.
So, I "need" a Skinth that will carry all those tools that you see (Minimag Solitaire, Vic Compass/Ruler, Pocketwrench II, I 6mm bit case or Leatherman bit case, Vic Ratchet, plus a container with needles, safety needles, Band Aids, Bluetak etc, that is completely flat. The main tools will be:
1. Swisschamp XLT and
2. Skeletoool (for the pliers).
The Skeletool could be attached on the outside with its clip.
Any suggestions?

Title: Re: Skinth Loadout Thread!
Post by: kkokkolis on December 06, 2016, 11:16:52 AM
No suggestions, so I went ahead and fitted my XLT and Skeletool in my Sinth 2XL. I also exchanged the Vic driver syystem for a LM one, that works with the Skele.

You see what I have to remove in the first pic.

I also placed the Solitaire elsewhere.

After taking the pics, I realised that the vic ratchet and extension fit near the XLT on the right and the LM extention fits in the left tube.

Let's see which configuration serves me better with some EDC of the new configuration.

I think you could hang your keys there if the Skinth was on your belt.  I'm not sure if that's the intended purpose though.  But like you mentioned, hanging it upside down would be less than ideal.

Here is what the Skinth Sharp Shooter has been working as. Seasonal landscaper. Holds shears, serrated pruner and a three layered wire jockey knife.

It served well at work but fell short on what needed to be held. Mainly a pair of channel lock pliers. So I would resort back to the tool belt and the comfort of extra weight.

Still the coolest item I have ever won here and still more than grateful for the opportunity to do so.

What I'm thinking of carrying in my L Shield, once it gets here. (Assuming that Mechanickal has un-confiscated it!  :ahhh :P )

Side pockets, Ti3 and Fisher Bullet Space Pen.

Front pocket, Bits for my SAK and PowerAccess, Rambler, aaaand other stuff. Let me get back to you regarding the front pocket.  :facepalm: Maybe spare AAA?

Main Pocket, DAK when needed, Key(?), and either PowerAccess or bladeless Woodsman. Only one will fit.  :-\ Which would I rather pocket carry?  :ahhh
The PowerAccess has a clip, and the bladeless Woodman is not so large in some respects, but it has no keyring or bail to attach a lanyard to, only a corkscrew....  :ahhh
Title: Re: Skinth Loadout Thread!

It will get to you soon enough...
After the confiscation :whistle:

My L Shield, when the postman finaly throws it in :rant: will contain a Led Lenser P3, Topeak ratchet and a bit holder or LM bit card and the Charge AL or Swisstool Spirit.

Fair enough... although I think I may have selected the best selling variant (all black XL Shield) which one supposes they'd have in stock. Never mind, not actually in a hurry... yet looking forward to them, the LM 'premium leather' sheaths for ST 300 and Surge are a bit too bulky for my tastes after all.

And I like how you bring a spare can opener.

If you Pablo one up, you can remove the original and replace it with the spare.
And the paperclip is there as pin stock in order to be able to do it in the field, right?

On the nightstand!

To answer the question though, no, I didn't.
But I'm sure I could since my trousers are the perfect size.
I always use a belt as a finishing touch.
Being able to carry a sheath is just a great plus.
Title: Re: Skinth Loadout Thread!
Post by: Don Pablo on January 30, 2018, 06:28:46 PM
I tend to do this as I don’t wear belts often, except a light stretchy one maybe.
Currently doing it with the aforementioned belt, it’s more secure than just clipping it on the belt by itself.

Once you start eliminating OPTs with bottle openers, sharp edges, extra screwdrivers, etc that a SAK or multi tool already has, the selection narrows drastically.

Received a prybar from China today for my Skinth. :mail:
It appears to be a Widgy knockoff, is as thick as the scissors layer on a 91mm SAK, and is the 3” version (76mm).

Show content
It appears to be very sturdy, I put it in a vice and pulled on it with four fingers, with my thumb bracing on the vice. More force than I would apply to the bottle opener on an alox sak.  :ahhh
It only flexed a tiny little bit.  :like:
The amount of force I can apply is only limited by the short length.

I would have gotten the 4” version (and may still!) but it wouldn’t fit well in my skinth.  ::)
Keeping it tucked in the space behind the belt clip, it fits well.  :like:

I would be careful sticking this where you have too?
I just had to retire a Skinth when that single rivit at the bottom of the clip broke out and the clip then detaches when it wants to after that.
Sort of Pablo'd by your own good intentions? :pok:

How did it break?  :ahhh

The rivet tore out of the cordura and then I discovered it just hanging in the hole in the clip and after poking it just fell out.
The only thing that holds the clip in place is that one rivet and the clip will then just detach when its ready.

I can probably repair it if I find another like rivet but I have not tried yet.

Post by: Mechanickal on February 19, 2018, 08:39:04 AM
DT's post reminded me...

I bought a Skinth VS from Hiraethus recently...

While very similar looking to the L-shield (it just doesn't have the side compartiments) the dimensions ARE different. Namely on the cover.

L-Shield + Spirit + pocket wrench + pen + AAA light + Bit set = no problem

VS + Spirit + pocket wrench =  a problem...

The cover is less long. The added bulk from the pocketwrench, even though only a little, prevents the cover from closing completely. Leaving the snap buttons' other half out of reach.

Guess it'll have to serve to store one of my bac-up BO S models.

Umm no, just no.

I was the same as you until I got a L Shield.

I wear it every single day and while it is a little wide it is thin enough that I dont even know it is there.

Honestly the best knife multi tool purchase I have ever made.

Makes carrying a MT, flashlight and pen an effortless proposition.

I think he’s referring to the bit you said about the L shield looking too bulky.
I have one, and when I wear it, most of the time, I don’t even know it’s there.
I remember one time... I needed a SAK, and I walked home to get it, only to realise that I had my L shield on, with the SAK inside it.  :rofl:

Just to add to the confusion,I have the XL and it is hard to get just the Bit Adapter Kit into the front of that one!

I cold not also add another Bit Kit there and I also do not find the XL too big?

I also have a Medium and the front of that one is pretty tight for a single Bit Card on mine?

Victorinox Spirit X BO
hex driver extension & 1/4" adapter
Victorinox hex wrench set

Strange.

I just tried to fit my Spirit X and Vic Ratchet set in my L Shield and it would not snap closed.

Maybe something to do with a difference in size between the L wrench and my Ratchet?

So I have a L Skinth that has been carried daily for a year or two. Love it.

Thoight for sure someone said and or posted a picture of a L Skinth with a Wave and two LM Bit Cards in the main pocket.

Just picked up a BO Wave + to use in the Harley's MTO Rotation Challenge in July and they will not all fit in my Skinth. Well to be completely honest they will fit very snug but the flap will not snap closed.

Am I wrong to think some folks made that combination fit or maybe mine is a bit small from the Metro "factory"?

There is no way to fit both of them though. They will both fit but the flap will not reach to snap close and it is way to tight even if it did for my tastes.

As long at the one bit kit fits, I'm happy. Nice looking sheath BTW. Ordered mine at the end of may and the wait is already brutal. I can't stop looking at pictures of Skinths!

Been carrying it everyday for maybe three years both while I was in the Army and now as a flatbed truck driver. Just now starting to show sines small signs of wear.

Couple of threads hanging out that I should really get around to cutting off and burning.
That's good to hear, the OEM leather sheath I have got worn out pretty fast.

Ok so the LM Bit Card will fit in the outside pocket of a L Shield like the pocket was made for it. Pretty sure it was btw.

It will also fit in the main pouch with the Wave.

There is no way to fit both of them though. They will both fit but the flap will not reach to snap close and it is way to tight even if it did for my tastes.

Both bit cards will fit in my L shield. The trick is how you load it. One bit card behind the Wave with the flat side against the tool. Second bit card in front of the tool in the main compartment upside down with the flat side against the tool. Any other way and the bit cards stick up higher and take up more room. I think if you cut one bit card shorter by getting rid of the little handle at the top it might fit in the front pocket. I used a sharpie cap just for demonstration purposes.

Well, on another thread somewhere i found an old pic with my skinth loadout on 07-31-2013, and as it is just over 5 years later, i took a new pic today.
Skinth is pretty worn out now, bottom has some fraying after those 5 years of belt duty.
Some things have changed, i dont carry the prybar anymore, but a tank 007 flashlight and a ratchet were added. The clip of the Bullet pen came off and got lost multiple times, so i left it off.
The magnet serves in keeping the bit extension attatched tot he side of the wave.

Since i also got a lot of other leatherman multitools lately, i decided to order a new skinth mondo Shield which also can accommodate larger mt, like my surge and bitkit, extension, light etc. The long wait has begun...

Well here are the pics:

This was 2013:

TP the picture was taken with an older iPhone with a camera app called hipstamatic. The current picture was also taken with hipstamatic, but with iphone 6s and different settings.

The loyalty  became little less to the wave lately, mostly due to the hot summer and me wearing shorts most of the time. Then a skinth with a wave and the additions is heavy on the belt.
Skeletool is my current summer mt love.  Backup Rebar rides in the car or workbag. New twotone Surge is great but heavy. Maybe more winter-carry, and more specific days when saws or big pliers come in handy


DP, i am not worried yet, but it probably would not last another 5 years. Clip is stil secure, buttons are too. Mainly the inner side at the bottom parts of the skinth is damaged. Outside does pretty well. Maybe when it is worn less frequent it might go for another 5 years :D

I've had this OG+ for a while, it's had different configurations of tools/knives in it over the years, but for the last year-and-a-half it's been carrying these items and has lived mostly in the center console of my truck.

For me it is.

I started off buying the Skinth Magnum as it was the only one with side tubes big enough to fit my EDC Light at the time and once loaded I simply cold not live with it.
They really do hold so much it is deceptive somehow and I decided to find a way to shrink what I carried and find a smaller Skinth to be able to make it work for me.

So my EDC Skinth is much more compact but still carries pretty much what I really need,I like it so much that I have identical Skinth with 2 different loads each built around a different MT!
I also lost the first one and got a replacement which of course made me find the lost one.

The Magnum sits alone in a drawer.
Alright maybe not alone,I ended up with 2 Magnum too before I realized how honkin' huge they are? :facepalm: :oops:

Got my Mondo shield last week but it looks my front pocket is too small. When i look at the site the bankcard should go in further, and it looks if my bit kit wont fit either. Cant close with bit kit and surge.
In My old l shield the bit kit rides way deeper.
Anyone seen this before ? I already tried to mail them but after almost a week still no answer.

So I'm still hemming and hawing over which Skinth i should be buying. I find the promise of carrying my light in the same sheath with my Leatherman ST300 really attractive. I would really like to keep the light I edc now but it won't fit in the Skinth XL and I'm not sure I'll love the less compact Skinth OG where it is sure to fit. So, now I'm considering switching out my light from a Milwaukee 2×AAA penlight to a Fenix e12 in the hopes that it will fit in the XL.

I am hoping one of you fine folks has an XL, an ST300, bit driver, and a similarly sized light (3.5" × .75" or 90mm × 19mm according to manufacturer's  website). To see if these things will fit together. Here's to hoping. :hatsoff:

The problem with the shield series and the Milwaukee AAA light is that the side tubes on a shield have closed bottoms.
So the 2aaa light will just stick out the top but any single cell light should slide right in there.

Here is a Jetbeam AA light in an XL Shield and the Milwaukee in the open tube of an OG.

All Shield side pockets are closed on the end.

Can I ask you what flashlight you have in there?

Sorry, been away for a while.

The flashlight is a Lumintop ToolVN. A modded flashlight pushing 600 Lumens or so.

So I am thinking about picking up a Swisstool X for the better scissors then on my Spirit and for something different.

Which Shield will fit the Swisstool well?

Thanks

This is an M Shield and it seems about perfect for this particular loadout.
This is also the smallest Shield that I have.

I would also just ask Metro what he suggests too,he has done a lot of these!

Swisstool Spirit X
Leatherman Bit Adapter kit and bits
Streamlight MicroStream

And there is an empty front and left side slip you might find something else to cram into?

Overall a nice compact but powerful little package!

OK I found the Swisstool and tried it in a few holsters but don't have time right now to get pics up but will get back to it later.

What else do you plan to carry if anything in the holster?

The tool fits in the 2XL Skinth and the flap will snap closed but it also swims around in there if just by itself.

Playing around a little I remembered why I switched to the Spirit in the first place too,there is a significant weight reduction it seems while also feeling better in hand to mein general.

But again let me know what all you are thinking of carrying and I will see if I can show you what it looks like.

Very cool.

So a Swisstool, Modded but still the same size Lumintop Tool flashlight and a Space Pen.

Not much else I could need but if there is space left might add something.

So here is the 2XL with Swisstool,Leatherman Bit Adapter Kit in front pocket,Maratac AA Twisty in one side and a Micra in the other side.

I think you can see that the main pocket will still easily take another Leatherman bit card and maybe 2 of them!

The only note I would make is that if you stick another thing that is too tall in there then the flap does not want to snap shut.
I imagine that is the problem you are having with the regular XL as well?
I think the Swisstool would even be fine in a Medium if the flap only snapped a little further down the front or had Velcro closure instead?

On the other hand I am certain that you can find more things to load in the 2XL if you need to too!

I have no idea how big the Tool is and I can't find my Space Pen but you can likely slide 3 of them easily in front of the tool and a couple where the Micra is I am sure too.

I do have many other lights if you want me to try a different one,just ask.

Hope this helps.

Title: Re: Skinth Loadout Thread!
Post by: PPCAPache on December 04, 2022, 06:44:03 AM
I have the following Skinths and which ones fit the Free P4

 L Shield - Main pocket, fits nice, still room for small items in side pockets.

Mondo Shield - Fits good, plenty of room in main pocket for small flash light etc.

Skinth Plus - Fit is very good, gives more room for extra items like flashlight, bit card etc. Must get belt clip not loop

XL Shield - Does fit, but a lot of room at top, as. It'd designed for larger tools like the MUT & OHT.

All of the following the main pocket is deep so you will need to use the pocket clip so it does sink down, I carry the P4 in the side tubes and have Velcro straps for the XL & Magnum and clips for the Trailblazer

* Skinth XL
* Skinth Magnum
* Skinth Trailblazer

Hope that helps. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221204/f6c4fe5fbe6a0f7701b927f1456b5d98.jpg)

Free P4, Mini Sharpie and AAA light will fit perfectly in a L Shield. Carried a Spirit or Wave and light/pen for years in one.

Correct, outside pocket. The light is a local brand called Ansmann, probably a brand engineered Chinese product, with a fast focusing lens.

At a guess the Skinth L might be large enough, from what I remember the size to be (fits 4" tools, right?). The XL might give a too loose fit, unless you stuff it with additional items.

I've exclusively ordered snaps on mine. I'm not sure I'd trust magnets.

There is a lot to unpack here so bear with me.

This is all based on the assumption that the Charge and Wave are the same size?

Easy part first, don’t know Smurf’s about the magnet closure. But for $35 I am very tempted to try one out maybe in a new color. The double magnet thing might give some adjustments to how tight the flap is if that makes any sense?

So these are the tools I added to the various Skinth models. Wave, AAA light, Space Pen, Bit Card and Surge file in the sleeve.

(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i86/HarleyXJGuy/FullSizeRender_tCGQu7KoZZxuQeE1LZmi9K.jpg)

Here they all are loaded in a Skinth Shield Large with snap closure.

(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i86/HarleyXJGuy/IMG_3570.HEIC)

(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i86/HarleyXJGuy/FullSizeRender_s6eGXqudFtETghbpfXEeKL.jpg)

Everything fits but it is very tight. Flap closes easy but taking out the Wave need a small bead or lanyard for best results.

This is everything in a Skinth Shield XL. I was very surprised how the Wave wasn’t swallowed up by the deeper XL. Everything fit great and drawing out the Wave was easy.

(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i86/HarleyXJGuy/FullSizeRender_hRJzC47aDBgyEQkyUjBkSU.jpg)

Couple of what could be issues though. The flashlight and pen kinda sit outside the flap. I can pull them out without opening the flap. Maybe using a pen and light with a pocket clip would be great.

Also the flap has some dead space when closed because it’s suppose to cover a larger tool. Less of an issue imo.

(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/i86/HarleyXJGuy/FullSizeRender_4eTGrn6eEsnA2aiZAqkrdq.jpg)

Overall I am very intrigued with a 4” tool in the XL. Honestly never tried it before and the extra space for bit cards or Victorinox ratchet is interesting. The flashlight is pretty secure in its holder but pen not so much.

Title: Re: Skinth Loadout Thread!
Post by: HarleyXJGuy on January 29, 2023, 05:52:35 PM
So I loaded up my Large Shield with a Spirit, Space Pen and AAA flashlight. This is the way I carried it for years and never lost the pen or flashlight.

I can still take the pen out without opening the flap so may have over stated it’s ability to be lost in my last post.

More and more I come across a nut/bolt that the Leatherman can't get to, so I've ordered the 5" knipex cobras. I didn't like that the 4" don't lock, even though they would be easier to carry

And I'm ready to order, just don't think an XL is tall enough. And the MUT sheild might be too tall for the free p4.

Any input?

Maybe 2x smaller sheaths, like a lite-batman(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230302/7c3f0426b6607ab577d0ba300948a6b1.jpg)
Title: Re: Skinth Loadout Thread!
Post by: Dutch_Tooler on March 05, 2023, 10:48:07 AM
If the MUT Shield fits the Cobra, I`d go for that. One can add some filling at the bottom of the Shield that lets the top of the Free P4 and the remaining items sit about level with the opening of the Shield. The filler could be like a fat T shape of foam (to lodge the Cobra´s handles left and right of the stem) or ideally something useful (little box, possibly 3D printed, e.g. with bits or fire making materials?). Probably better if you separate the Cobra from the rest with a thin plastic plate.

Thanks! Any idea what's the max SAK thickness with a pen in the other pocket?

Funny you should ask. I took a picture with that but wasn’t happy with how the Space Pen was to long so left it out.

Here I took the pictures again with worse lighting. If you could find a shorter pen it would be great. That said the flap closes fine but you have to put it off to the side of the pen if that makes sense.

So Explorer, Space Pen and Lumintop Tool. Might be able fit something one layer thicker but it would be tight. Now if you use a SAK without the inline Phillips that would help. Also a thinner AAA light would free up some room also. The Lumintop has a larger head than some.

Forgot to say I don’t have any SAKs between the Explorer and a Champion in size to check.

I know now what the max thickness SAK with pen and light is in a Medium Shield.

With light and pen I would say the Champion is as large as fits comfortably. Swisschamp is too big and I am not sure if there is anything else in between size wise. Maybe one of the Cybertools?

With just the light the Swisschamp fits perfectly. You could also just run the SC by itself fine.

Wave fits like a champ also.

In case it’s not noticeable the material on the Burgandy Skinth is 500D vs the 1000D on the other colors.

I like the 500D so far but we’ll see if it holds up as well.

Are all Skinths 500D?  Mine are holding up great but I wear mine mostly around the home to have some items close at hand.  I do wear one for work sometimes and its also doing great. Heck my Leatherman molle sheath is doing good so I figure these should do as well if not better.

No Sir.

Only the Burgandy and maybe one other color that I can’t remember right now.

The vast majority are 1000D

Hmm just checked and only a couple of the multi cam variants are 500D.

I swear when I bought my Burgandy Skinth said 500D. Will check tomorrow if it looks different then my Black Skinths.
