Sharpie Sheath 2.0

Most of my gear has a very practical application with some added style. But.... sometimes my gear is just fun and functional. Whether you're on the range marking targets, writing a door number on your arm or writing on a wall, all of us carry a sharpie somewhere on our kit. They can be clumsy to grab (I always drop my cap) and they are slow to put away. Like everything I make, this thing is wildly over engineered!  

First, we press the kydex over a mold I designed and machined. Then, we cut it with a CNC machine.

I have gone back and forth on the sheath style.  My first gen was a captured cap, meaning the cap was glued into the sheath.  You "draw"  the sharpie and it was hot.  Some people liked it, others didn't.  One large benefit from this design is you always get your sharpie back from you buddy, because they don't have the cap!

Then I tried a retractable sharpie.  The "draw" and "reholster" was quick, but I kept getting requests for the original design.  

IN THE END, I DECIDED TO OFFER THEM BOTH!

I also flared the opening so it is easier to "sheathe."  

I wore the original design for a while on my heavy vest and range vest.  I found the draw awkward with the sharpie straight up and down when I carried the sheath on my right side.

So.....  I designed and laser cut a mount out of 12 layer Tegris. You can adjust the cant of the sharpie 30 degrees either direction! 

Comes with my lifetime warranty too. (The sheath, not the sharpie.)

Mounts:

Tegris- This is the standard mount. We laser cut them in house.  It's designed to go on Molle, but would work on a belt.  It would have more movement on a belt though.  

Tek-Lok - This is an industry standard belt mount made by Bladetech.

U-Clip - This is a very solid mount for your pocket.  I use one for my key fob every day.  

**** Bladetech and U-Clip are very proud of their mounts. The increase in the price is the cost of the mount. ****
