Sunday Prototype – 11/11/12 – The Skinth Down Range

Before we get to this week’s Sunday Prototype, lest we forget the men and women who gave their lives in the Canadian Armed Forces. On this Remembrance Day, wear your poppy proud and in the imortal words of Major John McCrae:

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

 -May 1915

This week’s Sunday Prototype is firearm related. We are proud to present the Skinth Down Range (DR), a Skinth designed around one of the most robust and strong AR15 maintenance field tools currently manufactured  the Mutitasker Series 2X.

The back of this Skinth Down Range is outfitted with optional MOLLE attachment. On the front is a single 1.5″ wide knife strap (will be optional)

We’ve successfully developed our own MOLLE attachment construction method allowing for a proper tight 1.5″ belt to threaded behind it. Any larger belts can be accomdated by threading the webbing through the horizontal webbing.

Inside the Skinth DR is a 2″ x 1.5″ x 4.5″ cavity. The Multitasker 2x is a little wider than most tools.

Riding shotgun in the 2.25″ wide pocket , the Multitasker’s supplied 1/4″ bit kit.

A back 2.25″ wide, 3.5″ deep flat pocket is perfect for Leatherman Bit cards, pry bars, business cards (not credit cards), cash or any other flat items.

Since the cavity is open, most other tools can be held inside the Skinth Down Range. A full sized Leatherman Surge fits with extra space on the sides for more tools.

Need to carry two? No problem. A Leatherman Crunch and  Charge TTi stand side by side.

Since the Skinth DR is shorter than most Skinths, we decided to expand the front area’s utility by adding dual .5″ pen loops

The boxed out, TrailBlazer style side pockets are sized for 91mm Victorinox 4-5 layer Swiss Army Knives. At 1″ in diameter and 3.25″ deep, it’s perfect for shorter CR123 flashlights.

Attached to a pack, the Skinth Down Range is a one stop shop for all your AR15, tooling, lighting and marking tool needs.

The Skinth Down Range will be available for custom builds HERE, starting a base price of $44.99 + shipping.
