I made some of these knife/Leatherman/flashlight tool sheaths for a local bee guy.  They were designed to hold the specific tools he wanted his "people" to use.  He is an absolutely wonderful employer who gave them the sheath fully outfitted with the tools to his employees for Christmas.  In total I made about 20 of these using 3D printed patterns and molds.

I get about $125 apiece for them and he adds another $250 in tools.  Boy Howdy what a great employer he is to give Christmas presents like this!

I'm interested in the tools he put in.  My bee tool is a little flat crow bar looking guy with a knife edge blade on one end and a short section 90 degrees to that for scraping. 

Do you know what he puts in there?

Only been keeping bees since 1965, so might have missed something.

God bless

Sorry....  I wonder what knife.  Leatherman and flashlight.....sorry.

It was the absence of a hive tool that caused me to ask.  Dumb me.....

Shore 'nuf........  Ijust wondered where the pocket was for him.  It gets awfully messed up at times and would be too nasty to put in a nice closed pouch that could not be cleaned.  Perhaps a metal lined pocket?

One slot is for a non fixed blade knife, the second is for a Leatherman Wave and the third is for a small flashlight.

I can't remember what the fixed blade knife was but they probably use the knife for the same purpose as the small crow bar that you use.  The flashlight is for getting around in the orchards they are pollinating at night.
