Billhook belt holder

[lee74]

Hi folks

 

Does anybody know where I can get a holder/holster for a billhook that attaches to a belt.

 

Been looking for a while now but no luck, is it soemthing that can be purchased or is it more a DIY option?

 

Cheers

Not a holster but I've screwed a eyelet into end of the handle which I can hang onto a petzl carritool on my belt.

I use a logging tongs holster, the leather holster for billhooks seem to be custom made to suit different style bills. I found some nice leather ones, unfortunately I can't remember where now. I did google it at the time,

There are several leather sheaths and pouches on this site:

You'll need to make your own. I've used bent fencing wire but also seen a hook fashioned out of a piece of forked thorn.

Thanks for the replies, will see what I can rustle up

Make one! You need a tightish fork off thorn or hazel, basically make the "V" sign with your fingers, close them slightly and that's the sort of size and shape you're aiming for. Cut it off just below the fork and finger length above, then using a power drill or similar make a slot for your belt in one of the forks.

 

Job's a goodun, your billhook will now slot into your fork and hang there! Can post some pics if required tomorrow...
