Ive seen them made. Doesnt look too difficult but since they are cheep enough I dont know that it pays off to make just one.. its kind of a heat and fold system. Seems like the clips and fasteners would be the hardest part if you were sourcing for just one.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I'm thinking I'm going to try it on a few leatherman and a couple knives.

Can't be too hard or too expensive. I've made a leather one before, it's not the best looking thing out there, but sure does the job. If I had more garage space, I'd do a few kydex ones.Plenty of youtube videos to keep you busy for a couple days, process looks really easy.

I've made a couple. Used the same setup as the youtube user PHILLYEDC  (or something close). I'm not the craftiness of dudes but they have come out alright. I like to carry a light on my pistol sometimes and it beats having to buy just a spare holster for such occasions
