The Skinth FR (First Responder, Paramed MT Sheath)

[Metropolicity]

Alright, after a little bit of a thought, more thought and then some more thought....I present MKII of the SkinthXL+ (red cross). Aimed at Paramedics, off duty EMTs, FAK enthusiasts and othes who want a functional too sheath that has integrated first response items built in. Redone in this years fashionable ninja black with red paracord interaction pull tabs, the SkinthXL+ boasts a lot of refined features from MKI

The 360:







Backside. A doubled over 1.5" high density polypro webbing stiffens the back panel signficantly while letting the user remove the SkinthXL+ from their belt with ease (velcro attachment)



As with MKI, the inverted side tube pocket rips open with a downward pull, revealing an emergency pair of latex examination gloves. This whole project spawned from this one idea of flipping over the pocket. Also added is a H&K style clip, from my sources medics apparently stuff keys into random places, they have a home now.



The newly design front flap previously had a complicated pocket design, now it is simplified and extended so there is more room. Ideally, disinfectant wipes sit in the top pocket while an CPR mouth guard sits in the bottom pocket ready to be pulled out with an ergonomic downward pull.



The ever ready and needed AA flashlight.



The scissors didn't sit that well in MKI, so a strap was added to quickly attach and detach.





Inside, the now tried and tested PentaPocket houses a pair of precision tweezers, folded razor blade, a stack of band aids, a small folding blade (ideally a serrated blade), a pen/sharpie and a mini pry bar.



Last but not least, the tool! A Surge nests inside.

Beautiful AND functional!  I can't believe how fast you're coming up with this stuff!  You must not have young kids at home, my 1 yr old severely limits my workshop time and my modding bench is lonely.

You are correct. Getting hitched kn the new year. But not before owning some property and building a proper workshop and maker room.

Hey how about a red zip up or Velcro type bag to go in the Edc bag? Possible? Color coded bags are very helpful in finding stuff.

You mean this sheath as a bag? Or a different bag all together.

A bag. It's hard to find a tough one in red. Most are made o cheap crap. You could put a white cross on the outside and interior pockets. Call it the redskinth medic Edc bag .

It's not really a new design, I am more interested in pushing the design limits than copying something

However, PM me, I'll make something in red

Since I've been using two letters after each model I create.

I am renaming this one The Skinth FR (first responder)

[Gnarly]

I hear you may visiting CowTown. Beerplumber and I want to meetup for a beer if so

[Reinier]

That's right!
But probably not before September or October. Can my wife join us?

[Metropolicity]

The more the merrier, as long as she doesn't mind us geeking out over tools and sheaths! hah

[Metropolicity]

I asked Def to change the name of this thread..

I've been using 2 letters to denote the model of Skinth and I thought FR (First Responder) is a much more manageable moniker than SkinthXL+ which doesn't translate well enough.

anyhoo.

Here we are!

[Syph007]

You do great work!  I know I'll be wanting something from you at some point, I just don't know what yet.
