Product Identity
The Klein Tools 5163 is a single-pocket leather tool holder designed to carry a lineman's knife on a work belt. It provides tradespeople with a lightweight and durable way to keep a cutting tool immediately accessible throughout the day. The open-top design allows for fast tool retrieval without flaps or snaps getting in the way. This accessory attaches directly to a standard belt for secure carry.
Fit and Alternatives
This pouch suits electricians and lineworkers who need a dedicated, minimal sheath for one knife. Workers who carry multiple tools or prefer a multi-pocket apron should look at larger belt pouches instead. Anyone requiring a closed or flap-secured retention system will not find that feature here. The single-pocket format does not accommodate additional items such as pliers or screwdrivers.
Deciding Specification
The critical detail is the single-pocket capacity sized specifically for a lineman's knife. The open-top leather construction measures one inch wide by three-and-one-half inches long. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product regarding chemical exposure. Confirm these dimensions match your specific knife model before purchase.

Questions about this item
How do I attach the 5163 pouch to my tool belt?
Slide the belt through the back loop until the pouch sits flush; the step most people miss is pulling the leather snug so the open top stays upright when you bend.
What upkeep does the leather on the 5163 need over time?
Wipe dust off with a dry cloth and apply a light leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
What fails first on the 5163 when I use it every day on site?
The single pocket seam and belt loop take the most stress; heavy tools will stretch the leather opening and eventually tear the stitching.
