I am not lying when I say that I have tried and utterly failed to make this thing almost half a dozen times now. I have wasted both time and leather trying to turn an idea into a practical, and not hideous, little combo sheath. For some reason, every attempt I have made with this has seen me get about 50% of the way through the project, realize what I had hoped to do would never work, and then take a nice, long break to re-evaluate. After my last failure, I decided that to give this idea a go using really just one piece of leather plus a piece down the center as a welt for the knife blade. With the right bends and stitch placement, it seemed possible.
A little combo belt sheath would be so helpful because I am constantly irritated by how loaded down my pants pockets are all the time - keys, knife, cell phone, wallet, pen, change, an on. I've wanted to EDC a flashlight for a long time but there's only so much room. At the office, I'm still going to have to carry this set in my pocket when my shirt is tucked in, but at all other times, it'll be on the belt and my pockets will be free-er. I'm on the lookout for a little Keltec P32. When I find one, I may have to see about making a 3 little part holster!
