View Full Version : UCO case from Topknot
Well Had a UCO candel lantern for years and love it! however the glas broke and I treated myself to a whole new unit (1/2 off in millets)
Anyway the tin I had been using to stor it was not the best solution and a little less then good looking (Not important I know)
Any way to cut a long story short......................... ... I saw one of topknots Bushlite cases on here and thought I would drop him a line to see if he could do anything for my UCO
Well a couple of weeks down the line this appears on my doorstep!

The craftsmanship on this is second to non I am more then pleased with the result it is truely stunning and the pictures do not reflect the quality of the item (Will get some more in better light!)
Will be a shame to use it!
Cheers

That is a stunning piece of work, Topknot is a clever old boy, no doubts there!
Now that is really good :approve:
A beautiful piece as well as incredibly practical.

That is absolutely brilliant! It puts my shop bought neoprene cover to shame. Sadly I can feel my wallet aching as I type! :rolleyes:

Pignut - you're a lucky, lucky chap.
Topknot - I wish I had half of that kind of talent.
Absolutely beautiful... outstanding.

I'm interested as well as the little wifey is buying me a UCO candle holder for my birthday and I'd love to have a holder like that.
And me, if you could use white thread it would go nicely with my possibles pooch and F1 sheath made in the same stylee by your good self! I must complete my Topknot collection!
:D

Shockingly, no! :o I'm starting to get back to the stage whereby I can purchase nice things again, so I'll be sending them to you hopefully very soon for dressing up in leather! They are currently carrying them in their teeth!
:D
(That's a joke for anybody who doubts my parenting skills!)

I too would be interested in one of these, I hadn't wanted to assume you would produce such things of beauty other than one-offs, but seeing as I'm already at the back of a potential waiting list... I figure I'd best at least ask !!
