THE E.D.C. Mk. II BELT POUCH
After switching over to a Leatherman multitool from my old Swiss Army Knife, I needed a new pouch to carry it around in.
The Leatherman
was also much heavier so I had to reduce the weight of the pouch to keep it manageable.
The pouch itself is made of 4 to 5 oz. tooling leather,
dyed tan with white stitching and nickel hardware. Overall dimensions are 4-1/4" tall, 3-1/2" wide and 2" thick.
Inside, there is a slot for each item. I've got the Leatherman, a butane jet torch lighter, a small AA flashlight and a
mini Sharpie. The
layout of the interior was designed with first-order retrievability in mind, meaning I don't have to move one item out of the way in order to
access another. Note the thumb hole under the snap to help pop the lighter up, making it easier to grab.
Here's what the pouch looks like from the back. It's got a single heavy-duty spring steel belt clip riveted on, and you can clearly see the white stitching.
