Introduction: DIY Minimalist Ranger Band Sheath for Multitool or Folding Knife
Hi, all.
This video talks about how to make a very secure Ranger Band Minimalist sheath for carrying your multitool or folding knife horizontally on your belt. I have jump and run tested this sheath with various kind of tools, and it manage to hold onto different tools just fine. Hope you'd like it!

Hi, Aeshir.
Thank you for the comment, and pardon me for a late reply. I did use this sheath for a pretty long while(at least more than half a year, daily, and through all kind of activities). I found that so as long my belt was not too loose, the sheath/tool pretty much just 'melt' onto my belt and I just forgot it was even there.
I think how long is the tool and the 'window' you cut open to allow a good balance of easy access and secure grip are the keys of making this sheath. Although it may not be as easy to use as a traditional sheath, the low profile of this thing is simply amazing.
Nowadays, I have migrated to the use of a new in-pocket soft pouch(since it carries a lot more than just a tool, I will make a video someday to introduce), but still use this sheath and the magnetic one from time to time. Nonetheless, I am happy to report that I never lose a tool to either method. :)

How do you avoid the inconvenience of a magnetised knife?

Hi, are you referring to the other video about the magnetic sheath? :)

Woops, yes - that's what happens when you have the same site open in several tabs!

No worries, I will reply here(for another video, the DIY minimalist Magnetic sheath). Yes, the tool is indeed magnetized a bit, but after a month of everyday testing(and I keep the magnets on the tool even when it is off my belt when I sleep), I felt my tool(mainly I use the Swisstool Spirit) is very mildly magnetized. It could barely pickup a large paperclip.

I can't get the video to open on this one or the magnetic one you posted.

May I ask what browser you are using? I tested both Chrome and IE, and so far so good.
