Sharpie Sheath

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.

My first generation I used a flexible epoxy to glue the cap into the sheath.  It worked well, but it was awkward to carry around a sharpie with no cap if you don't have your kit on.  In my second generation I switched to a retractible sharpie.  That seems to be a better way to go. 

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. ****
