Tin Box Case No. 2

I had some other spare paracord and an old tobacco tin so I decided to tie another case. The OD paracord is poly instead of nylon, but the tan is nylon. For the spine or edge of the case I used a double cobra weave. I put in a couple of extra lengths of cord through the middle of the double cobra weave to make it wider to comfortably fit the tin box. Then I used the extra cord from the edging to weave the sides. The last thing I did was tie a single strand star knot to act as a button for closure. This design was mostly inspire by this project by Stormdrane.

Tin Box Pouch

I have made a case like this once before for my leatherman. I had some left over cord so I decided to make a case for an Altoids tin box. The outside edge is a double Solomon Bar. Then I just used the extra cord from the Solomon bars to make the weaves back and forth for the sides. The button on the side is a single strand star knot. I probably made it too tight because its sort of a pain to get in and out, but it'll work itself a little more loose over time. Reference: Stormdrane

Leatherman Case

I completed this project about a year ago. I saw an example that Stormdrane had done and some others around the internet and decided to give it a try. I have seen some people make a wooden block to tie around, which is a very smart idea, but I just did mine with the tool inside. The edge of the case is a king cobra knot or large Solomon knot. The middle is just a basic basket weave. And the knot on the top is a diamond stopper knot.

Both sides of the basket weave and the green strand used in the king cobra knot are all one strand of paracord. I did this in order to mitigate the number of burned ends that show.

After a year of having is bounce around in bags, toolboxes, and being dropped on the ground, it has stood strong and kept its shape very well.
