Leatherman Skeletool Pocket Sheath...

Just finished this one up. It was a wee bit more complicated than anything I have attempted previously, especially since the Skeletool varies in section in all three dimensions along its axis, as well as decreasing in bulk towards the carabiner end, and the tool doesn't have a truly flat surface to work with. Anyway, it's just a simple pocket sheath that fits either of my Skele's. I hate pocket lint getting into my knives and tools while they ride in my pockets. I guess I make matters worse because I frequently carry Kleenex. Never really been a fan of using the pocket clip, and I seldom wear a belt for belt-sheath carry, so this seemed the only way to go. The Skele pushes out and into the sheath remarkably easily/nicely, surprising really. Maybe it's easy because I used some very flexible thin leather for the "top", and far thicker and stiffer leather for the "bottom"......a re-purposed garage sale Ladies handbag actually.
