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
