Corner of Lanyard Lane & Sheath Street

[Doc B]

I carry the same 3 knives, to the ranch, every weekend. A SAK, a Leathermans and a Benchmade Triage. The nylon sheaths were wearing out.
I have a fire truck...it no longer works...but, that's a story for another time. I had some fire hose (not from the truck) that I once thought about making a wallet with...but, that didn't happen.
These can't compete, with the fine leatherworks, of those that have preceeded...but, I'm happy with these prototypes. There are a lot of things I would do different. But, they are pretty sturdy. If you click on them...they will upright.

Cool.. How many feet of hose do ya have??
John

I just picked up a few feet, off Ebay, a few years ago. I'd seen someone make a wallet out of it and thought I'd give it a try. I don't carry a wallet now, so never got around to trying. I don't know if all firehose is the same...but; the piece I got has an inner and outer hose. The inner one is rubberized on the inside. It makes for a more "grippy" sheath. Of course that can make it harder to put the knife in. I made these out of the outer, non-rubberized part and made the belt loop, out of a piece of the rubberized part...oriented to reduce sliding around on my belt.

Great idea Jim! I bet that stuff is strong as heck! Probably pretty close to indestructible!

I made this knife years ago and use it myself. Decided to do this new lanyard for it. The braid part I've got down but the sliding knot I'm still learning.

Figured you folks might like a look.

Recieved a few more patriotic fabrics from my Mom to add to the ones Jim already sent to me so that I can make some patriotic knife slips. Gonna try to get some cut out today so that my girls can sew em together for me over the upcoming holidays.

Ahhh Curly Maple! That's why I like it so much! That stuff is really nice looking! Case has a set of knives with Curly Maple scales that I like. I don't have any of em but I wish that I did. I especially like the medium Stockman & the Gun Stock pattern with a long pull.

Anyways, nice choice & nice job!

Recieved a few more patriotic fabrics from my Mom to add to the ones Jim already sent to me so that I can make some patriotic knife slips. Gonna try to get some cut out today so that my girls can sew em together for me over the upcoming holidays.

How are the slips coming along Tom??

Spent all morning getting some cut out of my "patriotic" fabrics. Don't know how many it was. About 15-18 I guess. Still have a few fabrics I haven't even gotten to yet. Now I have to get my girls to sew em together for me.

If you or anybody would like to have a "Slip-Kit" (Fabric cut out, two small pieces of velcro and some step by step instructions) for some special knife they wish to carry without it getting scratched, drop me a PM here on the AAPK. I'll Hook Ya Up! All you need is a person who will sew it together for you. All I need is an address and a knife size. Colors and fabrics would be random unless somebody tells me what they prefer. Brown, Black, Patriotic & others. If your interested, let me know.

Tom, I'm not a slip-using kinda guy, but I do recognize generosity when I see it.
Well done, Sir!!

[TPK]

Thanks for the kind comments John & Steve!

It's no big deal. I was going to make up a whole bunch of em & just mail em to you guys without asking but I guess a lot of em wouldn't have ever seen any use so I thought I'd do it this way. Untill now..., no takers, so I guess I made the right choice.

Slips are not everyones style. I like em because I always have two knives plus a pen, a marker and a box cutter in my pocket so it keeps my EDC's from getting scratched up.

[WillyCamaro]

Most generous of you Tom, but alas, I too am a bare knife pockets guy.
It's the thought that counts man, good on you mate.
