I like this idea. I stressed about gas loss and just used careful positioning of the lighter as a solution which, as we all know, would fail eventually.


Thanks, not field tested but apart from making a dedicated kydex sheat it is the best I can think of.


I've made a slightly improved version from old Heinz' ketchup PET bottles, they have square corners which are close-to-perfect fit for the curvature and are just the right compromise between flexibility and rigidness.
