What do these go for, and what do they fit? For instance, how deep are they?

You will have no probs selling them.Have a good weekend.
Thank you I appreciate that!
I’m selling these for 40 shipped priority so 32 before shipping. I just measured them and by the stitch it’s 4 3/16” deep and 4 11/16” deep at the highest. I designed it for the larger traditionals in mind so like a case trapper, a large lambsfoot, GECs Oregon trapper which is slightly longer then the case. But I can shrink it or enlarge it for whatever size no problem. It’s just a matter of lengthening the depth or shortening it since the width is pretty much a fit all how I designed it.
Thank you! I’m pretty happy with how these turned out they have the corners of my wallets and the mouth of my cross draw sheaths. So it fits perfect now with my other stuff.
Here’s more photos so you can see where some different knife sizes range in the pouch.

I got on a discord page for an edc YouTube channel to try and up my sales and a guy I recently sold a wallet to posted a massive custom wallet collection shot. I asked him how mine compared and stood up and I got this review that I’m pretty happy about and proud of. So I figured I’d share it here since John’s given me a lot of support along with everyone else in this great sub forum.

Some stuff I’ve done while waiting for sheath stuff to dry. I bought a half square foot of whiskey buttero while it was on sale since a lot of people in the wallet/accessory item world keep talking about it now that it’s getting imported from Italy.
So figured the best way to try it out was to make a minimalist 4 pocket wallet to sell. The leather is very high quality no doubt about it but after working with it Wicket & Craig and Herman Oak still blow it out of the water no questions asked and I feel that 100%. I do quite like this pattern a lot and will possibly do some in different colors and batches to sell if everyone else likes it as much as I do.
I’ve also been buying some small amounts of glazed Wicket & Craig In buck brown for my own stuff whenever I have time to make it. And last night I made myself a field notes cover so I can stop tearing them up before I fill them and also a slip for myself.
I love contrast with dyed leather and natural so I usually always try to add that when I can. I feel like the buck brown and natural Herman Oak just go so well together and gives it a great look.
I also still love this new slip design. it fits with the rest of my designs I’ve made and hopefully gives my stuff some uniformity.

Thank you! I never fully understood the whole saying about a cobbler never having good shoes until now.

finally got with the times. Got a smart phone and tablet. Mainly I get bored when I go somewhere and everyone else watches movies while I'm bored. Making a tablet cover I started it a week ago and have not worked ok n it since. I'm gonna antique the tooling dark brown. American flag lining I think the rest is just gonna be natural treated with Hubbard's shoe grease. Simple pouch type cover. Not sure if I'm gonna use straps or snaps to secure the flap. I just ordered a bunch of old #12 saddle tacs they should be here today. Hopefully with all luck my Hurley creek is in there to and not lost in the dang mail system I've had that happen before.

that looks good man! Can’t wait to see it all finished and antiqued. I also really hope the knife gets to you soon, I’ll be going to open a claim at the post office tomorrow.

I'm probably gonna end up being like Ron Swanson when I retire. It seems anything dealing with federal or state like to give me the shaft.

here’s some more stuff I’ve made recently. I updated my personal wallet pattern to get it exactly how I wanted it dimensions wise along with updating the pockets to how I do them now. I also made it to match my field notes cover.
The back piece has lots of cool character on it from the hide. I know a lot of people don’t like it normally but I love a piece with range marks or something to help make it individually yours.
Then I figured it was time to update the design on my business/card holder and make me one to match my wallet and field notes cover.
finally for another secret Santa on a purely EDC related type forum I made a guy these. His favorite color was green so I wanted to try out the Olive W&C. There’s two slipjoint slips one large and one small for his GECs in some of the photos he posted, a pocket organizer that can hold his Swiss Army knives/pry bar or anything else that would fit, and finally a minimalist bifold that can do half folded cash all made to match.

I like that green color. That's a really neat set.
