DIY Flint Wallets

[Lefty38-55]

I made up some flint wallets over the Xmas break.

They hold (6) flints, plus the leathers and a few toothpicks in the bottom pouch. The toothpicks can be used to move a ‘short’ flint forward, or to close off the touch hole whilst it’s loaded, but stored in a case (not hunting).

I do know that the one on the far left is a very soft and supple deer hide, but I’m not sure what kind of leather the one on the right is … leather is not my forte at all …

I can provide measurements, fits up to large fowler sized flints, if that helps anyone!

I have made one similar to yours.
I keep some leather jaw pads in there also.
The toothpicks are a good idea.

FWIW, by PM someone asked me for some measurements ... so here's what I use ...
