Design and Layout Tools for Sheaths and Holsters
Shop sheath and holster design and layout tools that put the whole pattern on the sheet in soapstone, from the outer profile to each eyelet hole, before anything is cut. The Hobart® Aluminum Soapstone Pencil Holder Kit includes five soapstone fills, and its marks wipe off with a damp or dry cloth once cutting and drilling are done.
This is the same holder we use to lay out profiles and eyelet holes on the holsters and sheaths in our DIY videos, and it marks KYDEX®, HOLSTEX®, Boltaron® and ABS sheet alike. Grip knurling runs along its aluminum handle, and a threaded collar tightens down until the soapstone insert sits snug.
The holder is 4.75 inches long and takes 5.00 inch soapstone inserts. For the cutting, molding and drilling that follow the layout, browse our holster tools, and our team is glad to help if you are laying out your first pattern.
