What about cases?

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

Wow your case kills mine. I like how you can put it in your sleeve.

Updated mine as I didn't use all of the picks in my oversized set. I pulled out a few of my most used; but still mostly end up using the short hook.

I like the bogotas but instead of the diamond I wish they came with just a hook on the end.

Started a couple of month ago and finally made a proper roll-up case the other day. Hand-sewn. So, probably not a single straight seam, but it does the job :wink:

Just file the front half of the hollow diamond off and you will have a hook. :)

Thanks :wink:
Actually not sure what's the fabric. Think it's canvas or something. A little softer though.

This is really cool, I know some folks who will be very interesting in making this for their EDC arsenal.

Thanks and I can't believe I did not see this sooner.

I find that painting canvas works very well if you are making your own case. It is tough and barley frays at all. Best of all it is avalible at any art store.
